More than a guide: founder, curator and trip planner. He coordinates catamarans, sunset sails, sport fishing, transfers and local guides — so you arrive, enjoy and never think about logistics.
Rodrigo founded Costa Rica Boutique Tour to be much more than a guide: he's the curator, planner and concierge who builds each trip from scratch. He listens to what you're after, proposes the right route and coordinates every local provider — catamarans, sport fishing, sunset sails, restaurants, drivers and boutique hotels — so everything fits.
Based in Guanacaste, he knows Conchal, Playa Papagayo, Hacienda Pinilla, Tamarindo and the entire coast inside-out, plus Tenorio Volcano, Rincón de la Vieja and Río Celeste. When plans need to shift, he shifts them — with a single call.
Rodrigo designs each itinerary end-to-end — pace, order of activities, drive times, meals and rest days — so every day flows and nothing feels rushed.
Catamarans, sunset sails, sport fishing, private guides, transfers, restaurants and lodges — Rodrigo negotiates, books and confirms every provider on your behalf.
Deep local network across Conchal, Playa Papagayo, Hacienda Pinilla, Tamarindo, Tenorio Volcano, Rincón de la Vieja and Río Celeste — the right guide and the right timing in every area.
One direct line — WhatsApp, phone, email — before, during and after your trip. If weather turns, boats reshuffle or plans change, Rodrigo re-plans in real time.
I don't just take you on a tour — I design the trip, coordinate every provider and stay one message away the whole way through.— Rodrigo · Founder & Trip Curator
Real excerpts posted on TripAdvisor by travelers who booked with Rodrigo.
“Private tours by tour guide Rodrigo Vincenti are most excellent. His engaging personal style and incredible information on every subject, culture and national history made the rides themselves as good as the destination. On a river boat tour he was a great spotter of wildlife — even using his binoculars to magnify photos on my wife's phone.”
“We had the best day touring around Arenal with Rodrigo. He is a fountain of knowledge and really made sure we saw everything the tour had to offer. We chose the waterfall, hot springs and ziplining. Both restaurants offered authentic Costa Rican dishes — delicious. I would 100% recommend this tour to everyone.”
“We did a full day with Rodrigo and it was awesome. He is incredibly knowledgeable and was a key part of the whole experience. Lots of great anecdotes and obviously well known to the businesses we visited. We did a waterfall, zip line and hot springs along with two meals at local places. Highly recommended!”
“If you are looking for a perfect guide, Rodrigo is your man. He knows all the curiosities of his country — the fauna, the flora, the history and the present — and stops at local restaurants so you can dive into the culinary culture. A prudent driver who gives you a lot of security and keeps his van impeccable.”
“Rodrigo is awesome. He speaks fluent English for those that don't know Spanish. He knows all about local culture, vegetation and wildlife. Excellent, safe driver with a nice clean van. Definitely recommend him for any of your transportation or tour needs in Costa Rica!”
“Rodrigo was an amazing tour guide! He accommodated our large group of 14 (3 families) and custom-designed our adventure — zip lining, horseback riding, river tubing, hot springs and a volcanic mud bath. Entertaining and engaging with both kids and adults, with in-depth knowledge of the environment and culture. We'll forever remember this as a highlight of our trip.”
“Rodrigo designed a perfect adventure for my group of 10 in Playa Flamingo. He had a plan and was flexible as it progressed — a great coffee stop on the way, an excellent restaurant on the way back, even pulling over so we could see a beautiful young coral snake. He wove in information about flora, fauna, waterfalls and volcanoes along the hike.”
“Costa Rica Boutique Tours catered to me and my friends for 6 months. La Fortuna gave me a deep appreciation for nature — waterfalls, hiking trails, wildlife, huge lake and one of the biggest trees I've seen. Rodri was not your typical guide: it was the first time I felt like I had a friend showing me around the country.”
“Rodrigo was an amazing tour guide! He created a tailored plan for my family while including small stops along the way. His knowledge of Costa Rica, its history and wildlife allowed me to fully immerse myself in the culture. An experience of a lifetime — I will be booking with Rodrigo again. Pura Vida!”
“What an amazing experience with Rodrigo! From airport pickup to ATV rides, zip lining, a volcano tour with hot springs, restaurants, beach club and more. Rodrigo has unbelievable customer service and suggested so many amazing places to see and do. The best 5 days in Costa Rica — 100 stars!”
