Reviews
I enjoyed the pace of the tour as well, not too fast, not too slow.
We had the opportunity to ask questions between our stops as needed.
This tour was so well rounded and we really wished we would have taken the tour at the start and not the end of our vacation, since we discovered many places we wanted to visit again.
Anyone who says San Jose is not worth staying in are wrong!
