Testimonials:
My wife and I have so many incredible memories of Costa Rica. However, all the stories we tell our friends and family about are the days we spent with Marc in and around Montezuma. Marc knew when to go to the touristy spots when there would be no tourists. And even better, he knew the equally magical spots that had no tourists. Specifically he took us to an absolutely gorgeous three-tiered waterfall [REDACTED FOR SECRECY] where we had our own swim hole for hours. The whole time we were there, we only saw one more group of people -- all locals. On top of that, our best meal was with Marc in a hole-in-the-wall restaurant that we absolutely never would have found on our own. He also hooked us up with a local masseuse that was extremely talented and also extremely off-the-beaten-path. And then there are the stories. Marc is an entertainer at heart and charmed us with personal anecdotes of his time spent on the peninsula. That's all to say, if you're going to Costa Rica, you should 100% reach out to Marc as he'll help turn an amazing vacation into an unforgettable-best-of-your-life one!

Marc's expertise as a tour guide in Costa Rica truly made our trip unforgettable. His knowledge of the area led my best friend and I to discover hidden gems and breathtaking sights we would have otherwise missed. From stunning hikes to delicious food, he didn’t miss a beat. Not only did he showcase the beauty of Costa Rica, but he also made us feel at home with his warm hospitality. Thanks to Marc, our trip was nothing short of amazing, and we can't wait to return and explore more with him as our guide. I highly recommend him for anyone looking to experience the best part of Costa Rica firsthand.

I highly recommend booking a tour of Costa Rica with Marc! Excellent communication (pre, during, and post) and personalized service throughout (recommended GF places to eat). From wildlife encounters to cultural insights, Marc's expertise made our trip unforgettable. He also has remarkable photography skills. Looking forward to visiting Costa Rica again soon.

Marc hosted my best friend and I when we went to Costa Rica for the first time, and it was an unforgettable experience. From the moment he picked us up from our Cessna flight until the very end, Marc had a Costa Rica itinerary planned and perfected for us.
We hiked to waterfalls, swam in the river, visited beautiful beaches and ate at wonderful seaside restaurants. He took us to one of the most beautiful places I’ve ever seen - an infinity pool atop a mountain with a swim-up bar. We drank Piña Coladas without a worry in the world knowing we were being taken care of by Marc. Highly recommend any travel experience with him!

My week long vacation to Costa Rica was everything I needed after a long winter in New York City. I traveled with one of my best friends which made it perfect to experience the wildlife, epic water falls, hikes, delicious food and serene ocean sunsets. But it all couldn’t have happened without the diligent planning of our guide (and now dear friend) Marc Levine. His decade long experience in Costa Rica made him the perfect person to show us a magical time. He ensured everyday was packed with really special and sometimes surprising adventures. Our stay in Costa Rica was so special that many of my friends have now traveled there just to experience the very same itinerary that we enjoyed. I can’t wait to go back. It was truly a magical stay — thanks to Marc! xx

Marc’s Costa Rican tours are the best! He knows the area super well & he’s just the person you want to take you around. He’s fun & knows all the fun spots! You don’t need to worry about a thing. He takes care of it all! We did a short hike to a swimming hole & a waterfall, went on a zip line through the jungle, went four wheeling & enjoyed a lovely beach day in Montezuma! We can’t wait to go back! He made our trip!

I’ve been on two tours lead by Marc. One across the safaris of Africa and the other immersed in the jungles of Costa Rica. Besides his vast knowledge of each area, what really stood out was his natural ability to connect with each and every person on his tour. This made everyone feel part of the group and created a super-friendly environment that enriched the overall tour experience. I highly recommend!!!

I highly recommend Marc as a tour guide if you're looking for a customized tour tailored to your particular interests and personality. Marc had a sixth sense of reading our group and knowing when to extend our time somewhere and when to move on. Because he was so intuitive to our group's needs we relaxed and enjoyed the camaraderie and let him guide our days. Marc's passion for his adopted country and his wealth of knowledge about natural wonders off the beaten path, native animals and birds, and the best locations for sunsets let us experience the character of Costa Rica and a trip of a lifetime. His wit and great storytelling were icing on the cake...can't recommend enough!

My friends and I went on a two-week tour of Kenya and Tanzania with Marc as our guide. Marc played a pivotal role in making this an experience of a lifetime. He was a guide who navigated through situations seamlessly, professionally and with ease. He created a vibe with the group that was inclusive, friendly and fun for all. He is entertaining and knew how to make his guests have a safe and memorable experience.
Marc was respectful and kind to the locals and has a real appreciation for traveling and respect for culture. I would highly recommend Marc as your guide for a once in a lifetime experience.

What you're looking for in an excellent tour guide! Costa Rica was always on my bucket list and for my birthday I finally pulled the trigger. Costa Rica will forever be one of my favorite trips. Upon arrival, at the very small airport, Marc picked me up and right away took me to an amazing lunch at a local spot. And that's the thing I'd like to stress the most; throughout your trip, Marc will continuously take you to local spots where owners and employees will greet Marc like family. He'll take you on an assortment of adventures, ranging from rocky unpaved roads, secret waterfalls, to secluded beaches, and amazing sunsets that will take your breath away. Marc is not a guide that will hover over your shoulder, but quite the opposite, he will let you soak in the amazing views and landscapes. His insights to local places and all the history and tips that he will provide will make your trip truly memorable. You don’t want anyone else to show you around. Trust in Marc.

Marc was an amazing tour guide. He went above and beyond and was very knowledgeable about the culture of Costa Rica. He showed me waterfall hikes, beautiful parts of Santa Teresa, and of course the best nightlife. I had an immaculate experience with Marc as my tour guide.
