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.

We had a great time and at no time were we bored. The sites were beautiful and the guide did an amazing job. - We had an amazing time. We saw beautiful murals and learned the history behind them. We even met the artist that created one we looked at on the tour. The tour guide explained Costa Rican art, history and culture. I would suggest taking this tour toward the beginning of your visit. You get to walk all around Jacó Beach and find places you would like to go back to. Would recommend this tour for everyone. Well worth the price.

A magnificent mural and graffiti experience in Jaco - The ride was beautiful. Very cultured and perfectly English-speaking guide, introduced us to the artistic side of the city. Many of the messages of preservation of the natural heritage and culture of the original tribes of Costa Rica pass through monumental mural works. Lots of anecdotes. Very original. We recommend it to all curious, eclectic, art and history buffs. Again thank you and congratulations to Joshua!

Perfect way to start your visit! - This is a great tour to do as soon as you arrive in Jaco. The tour guide is knowledgeable, flexible and fun. You learn plenty about the town and its talented artists. In summer months go very early. It gets warm.
