City Tour / Class on Costa Rica and the city of San José - We did an amazing city tour with Destiny Travel! Our guide was Mr. Oscar... by the way... he wasn't a guide! He was a professor of history, anthropology, social sciences, archaeology.... we had an incredible and extremely pleasant day in his company.
We learned a lot about Costa Rica, about the people, about the customs, about San José... Super indicamos esse city tour.

Fair - It took 1 hour and 45 minutes to pick up all of the guests on the tour. As a result each tour stop was very rushed. 12 minutes at the Art Musuem, 30 minutes at the Central Market, 10 minutes at beautiful old Catholic Church and 10 minutes at Theater Museum. Dinner was very good. The guide was very good and conscientious.

Sort of lame - Arturo was awesome, kind, helpful, and had good information. Having said that, nowhere does it say in the tour description that we'd be forced to stop at 2 different stores to go shopping. That's not cool at all. We felt pressured to buy something at each one. Yes, some of us said no. The point was that a tour of the city should not include this unless you are warned ahead of time. The tour itself was pretty meh as you really only get glimpses of different buildings. Wouldn't recommend this tour.

Do not utliize - Overpriced and not worth the money. The tour driver had a very bad productive cough (really? In this age of covid). We rolled down the windows incase it WAS Covid.

Do NOT take. EXPENSIVE. Not worth it - Our driver had some sort of chronic cough. We rolled down the windows in case he had Covid. Also was a SMOKER!!! This tour is NOT worth the $90 spent. The dinner was very good. The tour was NOT.

Poor communication - I cannot contact them about my tour that is supposed to happen tonight. Poor communication. They need to provide a contact method!
