Great overview of the... - Great overview of the city with short stops at important sites like the pre-Colombian period spheres and the national theatre. Good opportunities for shopping and eating on the way.

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.

We love San Jose! - Our guide, Oscar, knew everything about San Jose and Costa Rica’s history and after 5 hours and 200 photos ( and a fabulous local lunch), we fell in love with the city and everyone who lives here, ❤️

Informational tour - Jerry was an excellent guide. The restaurant did not have an English menu or a person to translate so we had no idea what we we getting. It was excellent coffee that was made special and the food was great but was a surprise. The last stop was a shopping store with jewelry and art which we were not interested in. Otherwise it was a great way to start our stay here to get to know the city.

Good way to start the Trip - Oscar was great. We did the evening tour and saw a lot of the city. We went during Easter weekend so a number of stores and businesses were closed. Oscar did a good job of showing us things and explaining some history behind some locations. Good dinner and nice kick off tour to our stay in Costa Rica.
