My wife and I spent a month in Atenas, Costa Rica, and used Erick's services on four occasions. We spent the entire day with him on three trips, and he was absolutely fantastic. He knows the country like the back of his hand, speaks superb English, and is the best guide we've ever had. We've traveled to many countries, and have had many outstanding guides, but Erick is the Best of the Best. We often had 12 hour days seeing the sights of CR, and we were always able to stop on the way home for shopping at the Atenas Coop. He's a real expert on coffee, and knows where the best coffee fincas are, and the best coffee shops. We plan to return to Costa Rica for six months in January of 2015, and will use his guide service again.We strongly recommend him to anyone needing transportation anywhere in Costa Rica, or a guide who knows every nook and cranny of the country. He is more than a guide, he is a good friend for life.Larry and Donna C.
