Reviews
Eric was very accommodating, ie: picked up my husband and I from our hostel, made sure we had enough water and snacks, set a good pace, let us have several breaks, ate lunch at a delicious spot. He was very knowledgeable about the surroundings, ie: the landscape, the vegetation, the different cities, pointing out hills/volcanoes, the history of the area. And he was very friendly, ie: never rushed us, asked us questions, easy to make conversation, friendly and kind. I would definitely consider hiking with Eric again!
Our hike up to Pico Blanco was incredible, Eric knows all the best trails and spots and is very knowledgeable about the area. It was just the two of us, and it was a really great setting to explore some nature around the city. He also makes great conversation, and provides snacks!
I would highly recommend a trip with DoTicoTours. Of all the things to do in San Jose — this is not one to miss.
