A great way to start our visit in San Jose. Upon leaving the airport we met Angel in front of the green statues and walked our way over to el Mercado and national theatre. A fun and unique stop at Mr Sloth Coffee and a night walk through plazas and dinner at a unique place. The dinner was wonderful with other guests. The only critique is that the ice cream in the Mercado was so good we could have had more! A fun evening.

My husband and I did this tour on our first full day in Costa Rica while we stayed in San Jose. It was a fantastic introduction to the history of Costa Rica and was an amazing way to start our trip and understand the way the country became the way it is today. I know many people skip San Jose for the beaches and volcanos, but you are missing out on amazing food we wouldn't have found on our own and an appreciation for the country's culture! We highly recommend this tour! You do a fair amount of walking on the tour so be prepared. You also don't eat until the very end of the tour, so you don't have to arrive hungry, you can work up your appetite. In addition, they were very easily able to accommodate gluten-free on this tour for dinner. The only downside was the bar we stopped at that only had local beers on tap, so there were no options for me there.

What an amazing tour! Our guide was so friendly and knowledgeable. The group wasn’t too big so it felt more personal which was fantastic. We learned so much about Costa Rican history and finished the night with an amazing meal!

I was only in San José gir 2 days! This was a perfect way to begin my visit and get a brief peek of the things I wanted to go back and explore further the next day!!

The guide was hard to hear and understand because of traffic noise. The company should invest in a Quiet box so that everyone can hear. Otherwise it was somewhat enjoyable especially the food portion of the tour

I didn't actually get to do this tour. We were scheduled, had paid, and were waiting at the meeting point when a message came through via WhatsApp (Good thing I had downloaded the app for this trip!) one minute before the tour was supposed to begin. One minute! The message said that the tour guide had COVID and was unable to make it. The person sending the message then kindly sent some links to the places we were supposed to visit, and we had a nice walk ending in a nice dinner in the Barrio Escalante. Which was a very interesting and fun neighborhood. So, it's a mixed bag. I think it's quite poor practice to cancel that late--I'm not sure how that could be justified short of a car accident or whatever. But I did appreciate the links and we had an OK evening regardless.

Jorge was a very informative guide and great story teller. Passionate about his culture. Left enriched with Costa Rican history. Dinner was delicious. I have several dietary restrictions and the restaurant was very accommodating. Our group was extremely personable. Very pleasant evening! Thank you!

We are really glad we took the tour. Our guide was very knowledgeable about San Jose and we learned a lot and saw neighbourhoods we wouldn’t have known about. I would have liked the tour to start a few minutes earlier to include the central market.The meal was a bit rushed and only two courses (not three). We didn’t really like the food.

We met at a local bar for a drink and introductions before heading off to see the main places of interest in the historic part of San Jose. Andrew was a great guide with facts and figures at his fingertips plus many stories of the history of San Jose and its development into one of the most stable democracies in Central America. Dinner was fun with great conversation and food.

We spent three hours work Andrew on a walking tour through the city. He's knowledgeable and a great guide. It didn't matter that it rained most of the time and we still had fun. The meal afterwards was lovely.

Andrew is such a good guide. This is an easy walk through the city with Andrew explaining history, architecture and art. It rained but not a lot. We finished with a lovely meal.

If I had not already done a foodie tour earlier in the day, I would've been disappointed that we didn't try any food in the area during our walking tour. The guide is very knowledgable and sweet. She met us at a cute bar called El Social where we had a drink and even did some impromptu salsa dance lessons. Then we started our city walk and it was really nice. She knew all the history and was very sweet. Then we ended at a restaurant where we all enjoyed dinner. That's the food part of the tour.

If you were looking for a foodie tour do not do this tour! While the tour guide was very knowledgeable about the history in the area we were walking through we did not discuss food! We also felt like it was a bit of a race and at one point we lost the tour guide, standing in a corner lost! We were all mistaken what the purpose of the tour was. If you think this is one of the tours where you were sampling different foods you’re wrong. The whole tour group was under the impression that’s what we would be doing. They were three separate groups that participated. The dinner was not good and I could not eat my food it taste more like Mexican food. My friend thought her chicken was probably frozen fried chicken thrown into a salad. Very disappointed and sad! I thought they were supposed to be three courses but we only got two maybe that was enough because they weren’t good.

This experience completely changed the way I see San Jose. Our group was perfect and small and included myself, my grandmother, and one other tourist. Our guide, Vinny, was an expert in all things San Jose (and Costa Rica overall) and delivered a perfect walking tour of the cultural/political area of downtown SJ. We started with drinks (included!!) at a local bar, then spent roughly 2.5 hours walking at a slow pace throughout the downtown area while Vinny pointed out culturally significant buildings and monuments, before finishing at a wonderful restaurant in Barrio Escalante. Highly recommend if you are interested in learning more about the history of Costa Rica and San Jose and if you are looking to get a feel for what the city is really like.

This is a 2.5 hours walking tour. It was raining. No umbrella or raincoat provided. You have to bring your own. Not really much to see or explore around San Jose. Tour guide was very knowledgeable and showed us different buildings. Stopped by a restaurant and food was great. Had to take a taxi to go back to our hotel.
