Cooking lesson with a local family. - Amazing experience! Prompt pick up. After a short drive we ended on the local farm. The host family was very welcoming. We cooked a dinner on a wooden stove from the ingredients from their garden.

GREAT tour with local cuisine! - Gladys was our host and we went to the local produce markets with free samples of fruits and vegetables. Gladys' English was excellent and she was very knowledgeable of the culture, history and cuisine of San Jose. We walked the oldest locally owned market and the central market. We visited several historical sites and were always given time to take pictures. We finished our tour on the outskirts of town in a local restaurant that catered to us with chocolate drink samples, vegetable or pork tapas and empanadas. Food and tour was excellent and it was great to eat the local cuisine.
