Alicia D2025-08-03Verified So glad we found Memo Adventures! We used Memo Adventures for transportation to and from the airport, as well as a personalized tour to visit La Leona waterfall and zipline. The vans were clean and spacious, never felt unsafe. The tours were incredible! Memo was great to work with! Communication done through WhatsApp. He was very responsive! Very friendly and helpful! He even took pictures of us on the zipline and sent via WhatsApp. Would highly recommend!! shoemarfman2025-07-24Verified The Highlight of Our Costa Rica Trip! Unforgettable Family Adventure — 10/10 Experience!We used Memo Adventures Pura Vida Costa Rica for our excursion to La Leona Waterfall, and it was hands down one of the best experiences our family has ever had!From start to finish, Memo took care of everything — all we had to do was enjoy ourselves. The tour was completely private and personalized just for our family, which made it feel extra special. Memo even made stops along the way so we could pick up a few things — just one example of how thoughtful and accommodating he was throughout the day.The hike to the waterfall was full of fun and mini-adventures, and we never felt rushed. We got to take our time, soak it all in, and make amazing memories together. The included lunch was absolutely delicious and really hit the spot after all the exploring!Memo is not only a true professional — punctual, organized, and super communicative — but also just a genuinely cool and kind person. He made the whole experience feel relaxed, exciting, and totally stress-free.We can’t recommend Memo Adventures enough. If you’re in Costa Rica and want an unforgettable adventure, this is the way to go! jeffreypendry2025-07-16Verified Truly professional Came highly recommended from our host and I can see why. Memo"s communication is prompt, he"s professional, gives honest recommendations, and his prices are fair across the board.Added bonus -- he"s knowledgeable on soccer too and might be able to get you invited to watch a good game or two. Ashley S2025-07-16Verified Amazing service, extremely kind and knowledgeable. Memo and his son felt like family by the end of the week. Perfect! We used Memo for transportation and tours. We spent almost the whole week with him. 100% recommend! We communicated easily before the trip. He tailored our tours based on our interests and location. He was super flexible to change or add tours during our time together. All of the tours were incredible. We did zip-lining, La Leona waterfall, surfing in Tamarindo, Parque Nacional Rincon de la Vieja and waterfall, saw iguanas in Filadelphia, and the Rio Tempisque river tour. Initially we had not planned on surfing or the river tour. Memo was easily able to add those on for us. We used him for transportation to and from the airport as well as between hotels and for tours. His van was very clean, comfortable, and spacious. He kept a packed cooler with our favorite beverages iced down. He also had fresh fruit for us on the drives. Memo arranged all lunches during our tours. The food he arranged were the best meals we had in Costa Rica without question. My husband and I had been to Costa Rica twice before and had done multiple tours. Memo far surpassed any of our previous guides. His love for his country and nature made him the best tour guide we have ever had in Costa Rica. Thank you, Memo! John C2025-07-05Verified Wonderful trip thanks to Memo! I’m not one to write reviews but felt compelled to write a review about my recent visit to Costa Rica with Memo as our guide. By chance I came across Memo’s name through a couple at a restaurant who overheard me discussing my trip to Costa Rica and excursions I was planning. They suggested I reach out to Memo and gave me his contact information. While I’ll do my best to describe my experience, I will not be able to convey just how fortunate I was that I received Memo’s information because he made our trip perfect. MEMO LITERALLY PLANNED EVERY ACTIVITY FOR US, and that was all completely unexpected but highlights the incredible service he provides. We provided our flight information and what excursions we were interested in, and Memo took it from there. From the moment we arrived to the moment we departed, Memo took care of us (family of 8) like we were family. Below is a breakdown of our trip:Contact – All of my contact with Memo was via whatsapp. When I first sent a message, he replied within seconds. Every communication between us was prompt and helpful. He stayed in contact with me for several weeks before our trip.Transportation – Memo has a new sprinter van that accommodated the entire family and lots of luggage. We had a 3-hour ride from the airport (Liberia) to the resort (Arenal) and back. While the drive was long, slow, and windy, it was bearable (no car sickness). Much thanks to Fernando (Memo’s son and great guy) who drove the vehicle while Memo guided. They even stopped along the way for us to eat lunch and shop.Excursions - We had several excursions that we were interested in. Canyoning/Rappelling, whitewater rafting, and jungle/sloth tour. We told Memo the days we wanted to do it, and he made the reservations and coordinated the trips, and they were all perfect! He was so accommodating that after completing one of our excursions we suggested we might be interested in adding a coffee/chocolate tour. Within minutes, Memo had made reservations at a nearby coffee farm for that same day. Again, completely unexpected and way above and beyond from a service perspective.General – For 7 of the days we were there, Memo was with us for 5 transporting us to different activities and sharing his knowledge of the region. His son, Fernando, drove the van entire time and was so thoughtful about making sure the ride was as smooth as possible. They were both incredibly nice and hospitable to the point they were not just guides but part of our group. I cannot provide enough compliments and do justice in this review for just how much they meant to our trip. If you want a more personalized trip in Costa Rica and don’t want to stop at different resorts for pickups/drop-offs or be surrounded by strangers for your activities, I encourage you to contact Memo. There is a reason he is listed as 5* on Tripadvisor and he truly deserves it. David D2025-06-26Verified Great guide but even better friend This was the second time we have used MEMO as a tour guide. The first time was 15 years ago and MEMO remembered us and everything we did on our previous trip. This trip was with my wife and three teenage granddaughters ages 12, 14 and 15. MEMO is much more than just a tour guide for us, he is actually Family. From the moment he picked us up at the airport until he dropped us off for our return flight home. We always felt safe, secure and valued. MEMO excels at providing VIP service to all his clients. He made us feel incredibly special and always provided a very personal experience with everything we did. We did several tours with him and the experience for each was fantastic. MEMO is incredibly passionate about his culture and sharing it with others. He is very flexible and always provides lots of options regardless of the situation or what you’re looking to do.. Everywhere you go with him he has friends and is always welcomed with smiles and warm greetings. Has vehicle is always spotless or at least it is when you start out for the day. But no matter how much sand in nature you drag into it the next day you would never know it is spotless. It is just one of the many ways he demonstrates the pride he has in Taking care of his customers. I feel very blessed that we discovered MEMO when we did and cannot express how grateful I am to him for taking care of my family. If you are on the fence about engaging him, I would just say book a small tour and once you experience, the service he provides, you will never Look for another guide in Costa Rica. Thank you, MEMO. Sincerely David Davis. Chris F2025-06-15Verified Best Tour Operator in Costa Rica Memo is a great tour guide and resource in Costa Rica.

Thanks again Memo Christina P2025-06-04Verified Wonderful Tours and Service Memo provided us exceptional service and we really enjoyed his tours. We did 2 different tours with him during our stay in Costa Rica and he did not disappoint! Thank you Memo! LAVAPAVA2025-05-25Verified Truly memorable! Memo always provides excellent service. We've counted on them for airport transfers, as well as some full day tours, and we've always had an exceptional experience! This week they took us to Borinquen Thermal Resort for zip lining, horseback riding and hot springs, which included a delicious gourmet lunch at the resort. Such a fun-filled day in the most gorgeous setting! Next day, we spent an exciting, adrenalin filled day in two spots - first La Leona Waterfall - a 5K hike like none other we'd ever experienced - and the waterfall was one of the most beautiful we've ever seen! Next we went tubing which was so fun and exhilarating! Memo is so interesting to talk to - his experiences and knowledge of Costa Rica bring about great conversation. And he makes sure to add little touches that mean so much - provided drinks, made sure we had towels and we even stopped for the most fresh fruit at a local stand on the way back. Cruiser6249442025-05-01Verified Best Costa Rica trip Memo and Fernando made our trip. We did a crocodile and Monkey boat ride one day and a waterfall , sloth hike and last minute chocolate and coffee tour. It was nothing short of amazing and something our kids will remember the for the rest of their lives. Memo went above and beyond for us and our children to make sure we had a great time. He was very informative and welcoming. Thank you memoLoad more
