Best Tour ever/BestvTour Guides ever. - Save time and money by booking a tour with VIP City Bus. Our guide, driver and cantador provided us us with sites, songs and great food as we toured the art museum, central market, church and national theater. Rather than you driving and parking five or six times, let VIP take care of the details. You enjoy the scenery and friendly people of San Jose. Enjoy the market and it's energy, the sacred nature of the cathedral and the lovely theatre all wrapped into the intriguing history of Costa Rico. Finish off with a savory dinner that vompletes your day. Thank you for a wonderful tour. Me Linda Costa Rica.

Recommend this trip - I recommend this tour. The guide spoke English and Spanish; however his English was difficult to understand at times as he spoke very fast-he seemed very rushed. We saw some interesting sites and the trip length was perfect with just the right number of stops.

San Jose city tour AM. - Pricey ride $70 to see 2 museums, one park and lunch. Not mush worth seeing in San Jose. We were there on Sunday so many shops were closed. Not recommended unless you have Nothing else to do!
