Use Roger for this trip! Well worth the personal service you receive and flexibility if plans change! - Roger was AMAZING and very accommodating to what our family was interested in seeing, he asked us questions to better hone in what was important to us for our experience. He was extremely pleasant and made our trip more amazing than I imagined. He was knowledgeable about the area, answered any questions we had and took us for lunch, which was amazing. He took us to see the monkeys, which we go to feed and allow to sit our our shoulders.
We were a family of 4, 3 adults and 1 teenager. We will for sure use him again in our future trips to Costa Rica. "Customer service" should be Roger's first name!!!

Celebrating 🍾 Wifey Birthday - For Starter, Roger Concierge CR, is definitely the Best Concierge that Costa Rica has to offer. Met him on a simple Uber ride share. Wanted to celebrate my Lovely Wife birthday. He suggested the monkey tour 🐒 crocodile bridge 🐊, a culture meal style lunch, Sloth Seeing 🦥, Playa Blanca Beach ⛱️, Take pics at Jaco View Point, and end the day with one of the best sunsets ever. We made a ton of New Memories on her Special Day.
Roger recommended Claritas Restaurant for her Romantic Sunset Dinner and the atmosphere didn't disappoint 👌. She was so happy and I can truly say," Wifey's, Special Day was Exciting and Adventurous."
If you don't use this guy in Costa Rica. You definitely didn't do it right!!! He is very knowledgeable, funny, family oriented, knows the culture, put others interest before his own, makes your dreams comes true. The places he suggested and took us to, were unimaginable.
Thanks Roger
