About

CRS Tours is a San Jose-based tour operator with a solid 4. 6 Google rating from over 30 reviewers, offering families reliable access to Costa Rica's most popular natural and cultural destinations from the capital. Located in a neighborhood north of Parque de la Amistad, they operate with the efficiency and local knowledge of an established regional operator while remaining accessible enough for families who want personalized attention.

For families visiting San Jose, CRS Tours represents a dependable middle-ground option — experienced enough to handle logistics smoothly, but small enough that your family is not just another group among many. Their tour portfolio covers the destinations that matter most to Costa Rica visitors: Arenal Volcano, Poas Volcano, Monteverde, Manuel Antonio, and wildlife reserves across the Central Valley and beyond.

As with most Costa Rica day tour operators, advance booking is essential. When contacting CRS Tours, be specific about your children's ages and any physical limitations to ensure you are booked onto the most appropriate itinerary. A 4.6 rating with consistent reviews indicates reliable service that families can trust for a full day of Costa Rican adventure.
