Franklin was wonderful! I... - Franklin was wonderful! I got lucky and it ended up being a private tour- it was so nice to learn about the city from a local. I felt safe the whole time (he even waited to leave until I got into my uber) and the little plus ups of coffee and an ice cream taste were wonderful.

Top class tour - This was the best tour we have ever taken. Great value for the money. Enrique was super friendly and engaging, and incredibly knowledgeable about San Jose and its history. It felt like walking the city with a friend. I can’t recommend him strongly enough.

Good experience - Although I hired the tour thinking it would be a group and in the end I was only a passenger, the guide made it super warm and at no time I felt insecure, the boy knows a lot and you can tell that he likes to do his job.
