An amazing, insightful tour of Jaco’s local artistry - My wife and I enjoyed a wonderful guided tour through the beachfront areas in Jaco by Josue. He did an amazing job sharing the local knowledge, history, and culture of many amazing murals and graffiti art we came across. Learning about the artists, their inspiration, and/or their methods really helped us understand why Jaco was the right choice for our trip.

Great opportunity to learn about art and history of Jaco - Josue is a great local guide! He is very knowledgeable about the art and history of Jaco and was genuinely intellectually curious which made for engaged conversation. To top off the great experience we ended with complementary natural juice at a nearby restaurant. Would highly recommend!!

Nice Cultural Experience - My family and I had an unforgettable experience with Jaco Culture Tours on their Street Art and Graffiti Tour! This tour was a perfect combination of discovering the vibrant areas of Jaco, admiring stunning murals, and diving into the fascinating history of the district.
Our guide, Josue, was absolutely incredible! He was knowledgeable, personable, and passionate about sharing Jaco’s culture and stories. Not only did he take us to see some of the most beautiful street art we’ve ever encountered, but he also gave us great advice for other adventures in the area.
The entire tour felt relaxed yet engaging, and we came away with a deeper appreciation for the creativity and history that make Jaco so special.
If you’re looking for a unique way to explore Jaco, I highly recommend Jaco Culture Tours—and make sure you request Josue as your guide! You won’t be disappointed!

Larger than life Art - Josh (my tongue twisted around the Tico name) was a delight! Very dapper and clean cut, very knowledgeable and well liked by the Tico shopkeepers and hidden gallery owners. He has an acute understanding of Costa Rican history and culture. Jaco (hawk-KOH) is pretty unique in that regard. The collective wall art project history, and the graffiti art movement, coalesce and are both interpreted well under his tutelage. And we got fruit punch at the end, in a restaurant that might have been a bird aviary, a loud one at that! The walk was not strenuous, and took us through back alleys that we might not have seen. The art work is phenomenal. Some of it you’ll never see without a guide like Josh. Money well spent!

Authentic Art & City Tour - I had the absolute pleasure of joining the street art and city tour in Jaco with Josue as my guide, and I can't recommend it highly enough! From start to finish, this tour was a highlight of my time in Costa Rica, and it's an experience I will cherish forever.
Josue was not only incredibly friendly and welcoming, but he also had an impressive depth of knowledge about the local art scene and the city's history. His passion for the vibrant street art culture in Jaco was contagious, and he shared fascinating stories behind each mural we visited. His ability to bring the artwork to life with such authenticity made the entire experience feel so much more than just a tour—it was a true cultural immersion.
As a solo traveler, I especially appreciated that Josue went out of his way to take photos of me throughout the tour. This was such a thoughtful gesture, and it made my birthday even more special, knowing I had these memories beautifully captured. Speaking of my birthday, Josue was incredibly accommodating when I was a few minutes late, which meant so much to me during my celebratory day.
If you're looking for an engaging, informative, and genuinely fun way to explore Jaco, this tour is an absolute must. Josue's warmth, knowledge, and personal touches made this one of the best experiences I've had during my travels. Thank you, Josue, for making my birthday so unforgettable!

Awesome way to see the beauty of Jaco. - I've been to Jaco Beach before but never noticed the art! So, I decided to do this tour with my 6-year-old son. The tour guide, Josue, was so knowledgeable, explaining the history to us. He was also very patient with my son, who always has a LOT of questions. :) I highly recommend you sign up for this tour.
