I recently traveled to Costa Rica with a group of teenagers and parents and we were looking for something to do on the last day of the trip while we were in San José. Stacey's walking tour was the perfect fit. We all learned a ton about San José and Costa Rica in general. Stacey is really knowledgeable, personable, and... More

I have lived in Costa Rica for a couple years now and had always despised San Jose until I was convinced that I should give it another chance with Stacey's tour. I took her tour and she showed me a side of San Jose I never knew and now I love it too! The tour was fun and informative and... More

Stacy showed us downtown San Jose. Really enjoyable. Knowledgeable. Friendly and open. Should give 5, had it not been soo pricy. 2ad/2ch (9,7) @ 65 dollars for nearly 2 hours with 2 more people in the group is just about worth it. More

I came across Stacey's walking tours while doing research on Costa Rica. I travelled to Costa Rica with my children ages 8 and 10 and needed something to do while in San Jose before heading to La Fortuna. Stacey gave us a great tour and proved she was very knowlegeable about San Jose/Costa Rica. Kudo's to Stacey since I did... More

I've been living in Costa Rica since January, but never really explored San Jose. Taking Stacey's tour proved to be a safe, fun and informative way to get to know the city on foot and appreciate it for what it can offer. The fact that Stacey does these tours out of a personal interest in the city makes the experience... More

If you like walking tours, Stacey has a great one for San Jose. No getting in mini-vans or buses, just walking around the city. Certainly a plus when unfamiliiar with the territory. Stacey is quite knowledgeable for a gal from Indiana and answered all questions without hesitation. She had a good knowledge of all aspects of San Jose/Costa Rica living.... More

After reading in tour guides that we should skip San Jose, it was nice to take a part of our one day in the city to get to know the history and understand the capital of Costa Rica better. Stacey was great and took us around the downtown area giving information on history, buildings and architecture, as well as some... More

Staying in Costa Rica for 4 months and wanted a walking tour to familiarize ourselves with San Jose. There were 6 of us on the tour with Stacy, she was patient and answered everyone's questions and gave us insight to things that only someone who lives there would know. It's fun to meet other people with the same passion for... More

It was fun to actually meet Stacey after reading reviews about her business and tours. She customized a 3 hour tour for us that involved the Birds Nest tour and the Artist Bird tour. Stacey did a wonderful job of telling us the history of San Jose, explaining the architecture, the culture and taking us to some fun Art Galleries.... More
