The Story Behind Guanacaste Viajes & Tours
The story of Guanacaste Viajes & Tours began in 2006, when founder Manny decided to replace his personal car with a van and start providing transportation services in Costa Rica.
At first, most trips depended on reservations received through other companies. Manny soon realized that building a direct connection with travelers would allow him to provide a more personal and reliable service. That decision led him to create the company’s first website and begin receiving transportation requests directly from visitors planning their trips to Costa Rica.
His previous experience working with rental car companies and a travel agency gave him valuable knowledge of the tourism industry, reservations, customer service and the needs of international travelers. This background helped shape the company’s commitment to clear communication, careful planning and personalized attention.
What started with one van and a simple website has grown into a local transportation company serving travelers across Costa Rica. Today, Guanacaste Viajes & Tours continues to operate with the same principle that inspired its beginning: every passenger deserves dependable transportation and direct assistance from a team that knows the country.
