Thank you - Our guide was knowledgeable and catered to our interests. The stop for coffee was delicious, informative and I’m certain will be memorable. Having help navigating the market and learning about local foods and customs is what makes travelling unforgettable.

Learning so much CR Cultural History - Our walking tour was very enjoyable. The young man, Enrique was very knowledgeable about Costa Rican history and shared so much information. He took his time and it was a private tour so we learned a lot.

Excellent tour. Highly recommendable. - The walking tour was wonderful, fascinating, enjoyable, and educating. My tour guide, Enrique, was a young man with vast knowledge of the history and culture of San Jose. He was very kind, sincere, and helpful. He spoke excellent English and ansered all the questions I asked. We walked around the central San Jose for 3 hours, visiting historic buildings, a magnificent theater, a beautiful cathedral and relaxing parks, learning interesting facts about the the history and culture of San Jose and Costa Rica. We were treated to a small souvenir, a bottle of water, and a cup of delicious Costa Rican coffee (all included in the tour fee). Last but not least, we visited the Central Market, which was a mesmerizing maze of hundreds of small shops on both sides of one-meter-wide corridors, selling everything you need for daily life such as clothes, ornaments, icecreams, vegetables, seafoods, meats, and spices. The market was filled with appetizing smell of foods and vibrant energy of Costa Rican people. I was completely satisfied with the tour. Thank you, Enrique! I recommend this tour to all tourists visiting San Jose.

A Must Do Tour - This tour provided the background and the history that has shaped the CR culture. Visited many of the memorials for key events in CR history. Tour guide was fantastic! Also got to attend a gift shop with items actually made in CR (not China). Coffee stop was great.
