Reviews

Very personal and informative tour!

We did the tour with just the two of us. It was in fact a private tour. Our guide was very friendly and she knows everything about San José, the history, culture, etc. She made the tour personal. Thank you!
Terrific San Jose Walking Tour

We loved the fact that David our guide showed us the beautiful, the not so beautiful and the ugly in the centre of San Jose. We felt that the tour was realistic and honest. It gave us a brief understanding of the history of San Jose and Costa Rica.
It took us to places and streets which we would not otherwise have seen in the short time we had available. We really enjoyed it tremendously and David was a very nice person who was enthusiastic about what he was doing. He is also an architecture student which was ideal for this kind of tour.

Alejandro's insights about the local history and culture was really compelling. We appreciated the recommendations for eateries, too.
Excellent Walking Tour

We decided to stay a couple days in San Jose at the start of a 2 week trip to Costa Rica; most tourists skip the capital city to head straight for beaches and rain forests elsewhere, but we wanted to get at least a glimpse of the major cultural, business and population center and were so glad we booked this tour. Alejandro was excellent. Smart, quirky, well-versed in the city's history and current trends--we could not have asked for a better guide. We added an hour of "art" to the standard tour which allowed us to see two galleries we never would have found on our own. Highly recommended!
Awesome, highly recommend

Alejandro was a very nice individual. It was only the 3 of us and he took his time, never in a rush. We knew nothing of the area and appreciated his enthusiasm of “his” city. We highly recommend using the tour. Even after the tour was over, Alejandro went far and beyond giving us his personal email so we could contact him if there were any questions about our future plans. Just so happens we did, we made contact, and he promptly answered all our concerns. That in itself is well worth the price! Thx!!
