Very enjoyable walking tour of San Jose. - The San Jose walking tour w/ pub & restaurants was a lot of fun. Ending the tour with a fun dinner in Barrio Escalante. Joanna did a great job & we recommended this tour to a number of our friends. We’d do this one again, for sure. Tom G. Fairhope, AL. USA

Costa Rica is Perfectly Splendid “Pura Vida” - We hit the ground running and experienced the best culture night tour on the streets of San Jose, Costa Rica. So much history, heard about William Walker who actually lived in my city, New Orleans, This tour was above and beyond greater than any of my expectations. Karol and Johana were amazing guides, we learned so much and there was so much to see, cork trees, beautiful parks, coffe bean trees, historical buildings, art work, live opera performance as we were passing by! Bravo with a wave. We met great people too.
Somos más que Café is were I experience a warm and tasty cup of coffee, it was a cappuccino with a hit of ginger and lime, it was so very delightful. We ended our night at a very unique dinning spot with the best Authentic Costa Rican food ever, there were several meal options to choose from, drinks for me 2 glasses of Sangria, My dessert was a brownie with vanilla ice cream, “ you know what it’s called” Awesome! Awesome! Awesome!🇨🇷🫶🏽🇨🇷

Great Way to See the City - What a fantastic way to see this city. I really feel like I got a good overview of the city's highlights and history. Don't underestimate the food places on the itinerary. It was amazing. A truly memorable meal, representative of the local cuisine. Miguel was knowledgeable and charming. Clearly an experienced guide who tailored the tour to our group. By the end of the evening, it felt like I had just spent time with friends as opposed to merely being with strangers on a tour. I highly recommend this tour.
