Start your trip with this!!! - Josue was awesome! The best food we had in Jaco we had during this tour. Definitely recommend starting your trip with it! Helps get you comfortable and familiar with the scene and we ended up going to several places I never would have thought of. Had the best ceviche ever on this tour! Josue was so much fun, so polite, asked us all about our selves and was a pleasure to hang out with!

Great food and well organized! - Great tour! Everyone was full by the end. I got to try different street like food that you would unlikely be able to find on your own. The food was delicious and we got to watch the sunset. My guide was Josue. He was friendly, well organized, and gave a good background on the food we ate. Highly recommend!

Wonderful Jaco Food tour! - We ended up having a private tour with Josue at Jaco Food Tour, and it was absolutely amazing! There was plenty of food at every stop, and everything was delicious — but the ceviche was definitely my favorite. It was the best we had on our trip. Come hungry! As an added bonus, we even got to see baby turtles make their way to the ocean, which was such a special experience. Josue was fantastic and made the whole experience engaging and effortless. Highly recommend if you’re visiting Jacó!

Enjoying the Jaco Food Tour - We had a wonderful time on the Jaco Food tour. We enjoyed the interesting history of Jaco as well as the various foods we were introduced to. We agreed that we ate foods we would not have tried on our own. Our guide was very informative and did a great job of introducing the foods to us. We would highly recommend the tour for a fun way to get to know Jaco and the local cuisine.
