Jaco CR - Josue was a great tour guide. He showed us where to try lots of great food in Jaco. He knew a lot about Costa Rica history and its food. We learned so much about CR. Josue took us to places we wouldn't think to find on our own. We tried many traditional dishes and ate a lot! He’s an amazing photographer as well LOL!

Wonderful guide, great tour with local history, culture and excellent food. - Fantastic food and a great experience all round. Josue was a wonderful guide. He took good care of us and gave us great insight into local culture, history and the foods we were eating. Some other members of the group were running behind and he was flexible and managed to accommodate them without impacting the other guests. Highly recommended.
