Comprehensive Intro to Costa Rica - Great baseline of culture, history, and governance. Ronnie was a great ambassador for Costa Rica and it was a pleasure getting to know the country and him a bit better.

Richness of Costa Rica - First of all, Oscar was an amazing tour guide. He showed me around all of San Jose and stop for me to take pictures. He took me from north to south, and from east to west. There was no stone unturned in San Jose Thad we didn’t see. We ate a an authentic Costa Rica restaurant, where I was able to eat a delicious Costa Rica meal. Overall, the tour was worth it, because Oscar really knew his history. You saw the richness of the city from a proud native.

Windshield Tour of San Jose - This tour is great for those that want a "windshield tour" of San Jose. Was disappointed that we weren't able to go into the Museo Nacional de Costa Rica. Did enjoy the local dinner.

San Jose first look - Very informative, included a nice lunch. We didn’t realize it was a private tour. Oscar knows his facts but has strong accent, hard to understand at times.
