★★★★★ 5/5
The experience was fun and enriching! Everything was super well organized, from the first consultation (via email)... they went out of their way to make sure our tour was perfect! Kathia helped us at all times, Sean advised us before the tour and on the way back he helped us with the logistics. Giovanni (our guide in Corcovado) was very didactic and kind, we were able to see a lot of wildlife and learned a lot (besides having a great time!). Surcos Tours is a great family and they make you feel part of it, they help you in everything they can and are very professional. We will definitely come back.

I did a tour of the Corcovado Reserve with Surcos Company, the organization was professional, the guide was patient, friendly and professional, undoubtedly one of the wilder reserves that still exist with a wide variety of plants and animals, the guide took care of everything and in accordance with the instructions given in advance. Highly recommend a once in a lifetime experience

Fantastic Costa Rican/Osa Peninsula Resource! Jan 2022 After watching youtube videos of their extensive tour offering, we worked with Stella to customize an 11 day trip that exceeded all expectations! Along the way we had wonderful drivers (Gabriel) and bird guides (Bruce & David), explored Puerto Jimenez. Las Piedras Blancas, La Leona, La Sirena, and Drake's Bay. In addition to enjoying the "wow" birds (yellow-billed cotinga, turquoise cotinga, etc) our guides had a deep knowledge of flora, fauna, mammals, reptiles, culture and history of Costa Rica. They were kind, helpful, and FUN! If we could give Surcos a ten out of five stars, we would absolutely do so and recommend them without reservation! We hope to work with them again, on future trips to Costa Rica.

If I could give this place 6 stars, I would. I had interactions with Wanda, Sean, and Danny. All three of whom, truly, went above and beyond to help me with organizing the trip. Figuring out what I wanted. Giving my daughter and I, a TON of extra help that made our experience magical. We did a two day, one night at Sirena Station with Danny and a 2 hour night tour with Sean. Danny was an excellent guide, taught me some Spanish, showed us EVERYTHING we wanted to see, (usually more than once) and Sean made our stay at their accomodation, and landing, and leaving, and night tour...phenomenal. Honestly, this may be the best review I've ever written for any business. I absolutely recommend them. It was very expensive for me, but absolutely worth every penny!!!! I hope one day I get to go back. Thank you so very much to everyone. It was absolutely and experience of a lifetime!
