Definitely ask for Paul - Paul had a lot to say and was very knowledgable about San Jose. He helped us to experience some traditional drinks and food and explained about all of the places we saw, all with good humour and warmth.

Amazing Tour with Paul - I travel frequently and typically hire a local guide to give me a tour of a city shortly after I arrive. Most of the time the guides are good, but not amazing. Paul was amazing. I fell in love with San Jose because of Paul, his love of the city and amazing knowledge. It was the little, off-beat information that he provided that allowed me to really understand this city. If you have a chance, take a tour with him, you will not be disappointed.

Great tour of San Jose & Cartago ! - This company arranged for a super guide, Paul. He was very informative and enthusiastic We had contact early thru WhatsApp so were able to adjust & confirm exactly what we wanted to do, with Paul adding good recommendations. This was a perfect choice for our one available day in San Jose !

Friends in San Jose - Paul was extremely pleasant and knowledgeable. We had a wonderful experience of Cartago and San Jose! We had a taste of Costa Rican culture and cuisine. He showed us sights we would not have experienced on our own. We were 6 older adults and sightseeing from 9-3 was a little much for some of us. An hour shorter would have worked best for our group. But overall a great experience!

City Walking Tour - We had a nice walking tour. Ricardo was knowledgeable, especially about trees and plants. The tour guide was changed at the last minute and our customized requests sent in advance were not honored.

The guide was not very... - The guide was not very thorough and gave some misinformation. San Jose is not the nicest city but we still wanted to learn about its history and main sites
