About
A travel-design and shuttle outfit run by Marco and his family, for travelers who want private, custom trips rather than packaged combo tours. Reviewers describe airport pickups, private transport, and hand-arranged activities (river safaris, waterfalls, Playa Conchal) with grocery stops along the way. What comes up most is how personal it feels: local fruit, a surprise birthday cake, trip videos, and a genuine sense of being cared for.

I can't say enough good things about this company. If you are looking for a tour that not only provides great service, is very professional, knowledgeable, with rates that reasonable for the level of services recieved but makes you feel comfortable and really cared for these are the people to use! We tried others but went back to use them because they really are one of the best. You won't be disappointed!
I absolutely recommend Genuine Costa Rica Tours. Marco was incredible and our driver Manuel was the most amazing guide. He attended to all our needs and was very knowledgeable, kind and genuine. It was our second trip to Costa Rica and we did not want a combo package tour so Marco arranged private transportation to and from the place we chose and also arranged the activity we requested. We will definitely choose them for future trips.
If you’re thinking about booking with Genuine Connection—don’t hesitate! From start to finish, the process was incredibly smooth. Communication and booking were easy, and Marco helped with recommendations, booked our activities, and made the entire trip completely hassle-free. He and his family were so knowledgeable, kind, and welcoming. Marco truly went above and beyond—not only making us feel safe, but cared for. The name “Genuine Connection” fits perfectly, because that’s exactly what it was. When he found out I was visiting for my birthday, he made it extra special—bringing me local fruit I wanted to try, surprising me with a cake, helping with dinner reservations, taking pictures, and more. Everything about Marco and his family made this trip unforgettable. Their hospitality was next-level. If you want a personalized, warm, and stress-free experience, book with Genuine Connection. You won’t regret it! 🌴✨
