A full tour. Be prepared to walk - Emil was very knowledgeable and personable. We learned about Costa Rica history, visited shops, a bakery, and tasted a variety of delicious food. Highly recommend Emil for your tour guide.

Worth purchasing!!! - Great! Amazing time learned a lot took some amazing pictures. Def worth taking the tour! Emil was great tour guide.

Good tour. - Excellent knowledgeable guide. Very good dinner. Lots of walking but great sites and nice to see at night.

Evening walking tour - First night in SJ and booked the evening walking tour. It's early in the season, so apparently I was the only person that booked the tour, so it was just me Emile. The tour was about 4 hours. Emile and I visited 3 parks. Stopped at a nearby spot and I had the most amazing chocolate, strawberry and passion fruit drink, that was to die for. The tour included historical buildings and pertinent history. It's too bad some buildings were vacant and not yet persevered. We end at Azuitores restaurant in a trendy neighborhood for dinner and a glass of wine. The last stop was about a mile away from the hotel which I decided to uber back, for safety reasons, since it was already dark and I was alone. All drinks and meals were included in the cost of the tour. Also, bring a light jacket as it was very windy and a little chilly on some areas along the tour. Enjoy.

Our guide was great,... - Our guide was great, explained lots of Costa Rican history while showing us different buildings and landmarks around town. Stop for a small drink and a snack and then a few more walking stops at landmarks before heading to a very nice dinner with local food options and 2 beers or wine included.

Great food, informative and fun. - We loved the tour! We had an amazing time learning about the history and food of San Jose with one of the best guides we’ve ever had. Good mix of education and fun.

Defiantly don’t miss - Emile did a great job showing the highlights of San Jose and explaining their significance to the city and Costa Rico. The food options were great!

Ann enjoyable experience. - Lovely introduction to San Jose and to Costa Rica. It was nice to visit bars and restaurants frequented by locals. Loved seeing the neighborhood park wioth nightlife.

Good tour - Nice introduction for the first time travelers. I just wished the guide had a better English pronunciation.

Lack of communication from the tour operator - This is the first time I have given a tour I booked with Viator anything other than a 4 or 5 star rating. And, to be sure, a big part of this is my fault, not the tour operator, but their lack of communication is what caused me to give the low rating. We were due to meet at 4:00 in San Jose and it was 100% my own fault for not allowing plenty of time to get to the meeting point. My Uber app showed that I could get an Uber in 10 minutes and it would take 1 hour to get there so that was what I went with and had that been accurate we would have arrived on time and probably had a great time. But it took the Uber 20 minutes to pick up us up and 1 hour and 20 minutes to get to the meeting point (traffic was terrible) -- making us 30 minutes later for the tour. So, our fault, not the operators. I read in several reviews that these tours often ended up just being private and not groups, so I thought there was a chance that we might be the only guests and if so that the guide might be willing to wait for us and start late. Or maybe that we could "catch-up" with the group. So we got in the Uber, at that time thinking we'd only be 10-15 minutes late, and I immediately started reaching out to the Tour Operator. I sent messages with no response. Still to this day, no response. I called the number that was provided for the Tour Company and got a recording with different options, I called back multiple times during the 1+ hour Uber ride and tried all the options and could never get a person or leave a message. This is why I rated so low. In my opinion, I should have been provided direct contact information for our guide after I made the booking. Had I been able to reach that person (or anyone with the company!), they could have confirmed if we could have started late or caught up with the group. Or let us know that neither of those things were an option and we wouldn't have wasted nearly 2.5 hours in an Uber going to and from the meeting point.
