Great tour of San Jose - Filander was an excellent guide! We wanted to see some of San Jose, but didn't leave much time for it. He had so much knowledge to share about the city. After so many days spent hiking in beautiful Costa Rica, it was a very relaxing tour, hitting all of the highlights of the city. A perfect end to our trip!

San José like a local! - We were the only ones on the tour therefore it was private which was so nice. We went on a Sunday night during a big soccer game and we were able to see San José like a local! The car was great, our guide was so personable and we got to walk many of the famous spots. We always felt safe and had such a great time. We learned a lot & would recommend!

education - My tour guides was very knowledgeable of San Jose. I got to learn more about the country's and city's history. It was a pleasant experience to see the see city. They took me to a "no frill" restaurant that specializes in authentic Costa Rican cuisine. It better than food from the restaurant in the hotel I stayed at.

Great tour with friendly and knowledgeable guide - Great tour with knowledgeable and friendly guide. Made it a very personalized experience. The restaurant wasn’t fancy, but it was some of the best food I had in Costa Rica. Highly recommended.

Not impressed - I’m writing this review because I spent quite a bit of money and I don’t think it was worth it. The reason for the 3 stars is because of the other people that I met on the tour that made it more enjoyable. The tour was set to start at 5:30pm then I received a message stating that I would be picked up at 6:15pm. At 6:15pm I rode around with a driver because I was advised that they were waiting on others to arrive. The tour didn’t “start” until 7:05pm which is 1 hour and 30 minutes past the purchased start time. The guide was nice but much was not seen and others agreed as we joked about it. I don’t believe the tour is worth the cost.

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!

Terrible Company - Terrible company. Couldn’t make the tour because long wait at customs and traffic. Would not work with me and reschedule. Pretty much just gave the company 300. Plus dollars.
