History Tours in Tamarindo

Pirate History Pub Crawl in Playas Del Coco

Fun While You Learn

Such a great time. Bob really knows his pirate stuff and Costa Rica stuff too. Very patient go with the flow guy and he’s really funny. We visited 4 nice local bars where everyone was super welcoming and drinks were amazing. We walked around town and down to the beach. There is also a musical component that I won’t spoil for you. It was a really fun way to get to know the area, meet new people and learn about pirates.

Palo Verde National Park Tour

Verny’s tour exceeds expectations!

If you are looking for an experienced, fun, professional guide for your Costa Rica adventure… look no further! Verny is the real deal - he is incredibly knowledgeable about Costa Rican history, animals, plants, and wildlife in general. He took my family on an amazing day in the river - we enjoyed every minute. Verny was attentive to details including helping elders get around, helping kids see all the wildlife, and keeping us safe. He was also a very smooth driver along the bumpy roads! I cannot recommend him enough.

Cigar & Rum Tasting Experience (2 in 1 tour)

Even If You Don't Smoke Cigars this will Still Be a Good Time!

My wife rarely makes plans and bookings on our vacations. She decided to book this excursion because of the previous reviews. Furthermore, she was trying to do something nice for me as a present for our 25th anniversary. She knows that I love cigars and spirits. There was no way that she knew how good of a choice she was making. 1. Ian out owner/operator of CR Limo Company was the best tour guide a person could have had. His professionalism, knowledge of his subject matter, warmth and hospitality was on 11 out of 10. I truly regret purchasing only on excursion with him and CR limo Company. Unfortunately, in this part of Costa Rica, there is not anything very close. The drive to the first stop Vismarck's Cigars was as fast, safe and smooth as one could hope. The same could be said about our second stop at the Rum Distillery. 2. Vismarck Cigar's are an extremely small cigar producer. Being a cigar aficionado I had never heard of Vismarck prior. I was very optimistic due to my past good experiences with other Costa Rican brands like Selected Tobacco S.A. and Vegas De Santiago. I was pleasantly surprised how much my wife (who is not a cigar smoker) enjoyed the presentation that ended with us both in rolling the final leaf(wrapper) on to a cigar. I was in my element; I was given two different cigars to sample and smoke right there and a few shots of 7-year-old Aged Rum ( could have had more if I wanted) to pair with my cigars. Due to my prior knowledge of cigars and their manufacturing I was able to ask more advanced questions about the cigar production happening within and the industry. I ending up purchasing a box of cigars and was given a few additional cigars and the two cigars my wife and I rolled. This was everything I could have imagined. 3. The next leg of my journey was to the distillery. Again, this was not a short trip but Ian made the most of the trip by providing another presentation about the history of Sugar Cane and how it relates to Costa Rica. The Distillery had a restaurant on site were we had lunch, which was included in the tour. I was very presently surprised that the meal was very good. The meal was traditional and usual Latin/Caribbean fare comprised of a protein (Chicken, Beef, Pork) rice, black beans, plantains, garden salad. This type of food was not new to me, but there was a distinctive twist to the seasoning. We finished with a very tasty, pumpkin dessert I had never experienced before. Off to the side of the restaurant, there was man selling locally made earthenware, that my wife attempted to even-up the spending budget. 4. The Rum tour was the last leg of the Tour. A few yards/meters from the restaurant the Rum tour began. Again, I was not new to rum or distillery tours. And again, I asked more complex questions. However, I was not as versed on the production of sugar historically or contemporarily. I enjoyed presentations and making my own infused rum. My wife seemed to have an equally good time, even with not being much of an alcohol drinker. I decided to purchase a small bottle of Rum( I would have purchased more, had 7-year-old rum more age) which included a shot glass and a bag of coffee beans ( which had very little to do with the Rum tour)(Costa Rican coffee is "money-in-the- bank"). Costa Rica is not the most popular country when one thinks of Cigars or Rum. The individuals who are more advanced know that there are places and ways to find diamonds in the rough. I found a 10 carat VVS with Vismarck and CR Limo Company. When I return to Costa Rica, I will definitely give CR Limo Company another chance to impress me yet again.
