What are people saying about San Jose

Tammy_C, Mar 2026
Great intro to Costa Rica
We hope you’re lucky enough to have Hayro as one of your guides. We lucked out having him three days on our trip. He is incredibly knowledgeable about each of the areas he took us to, found animals, insects and birds would never have seen without him. He clearly knows the area well, knows staff at the parks and shares tidbits about the country’s history and culture with you throughout the day. He ends the day telling you what to expect for your next day which is very helpful. The excursions all come out of San Jose so be prepared to spend some time on the road. CR traffic is bad and unpredictable which can make some days end late. Dinner is on your own each day which implies to me we’d be back by dinner - assumably 7 pm but two nights we were back later - 8-9pm so bring some snacks. Each day is well thought out and organized. Excursions in each direction from SJ which gives you a good amount of windshield time to see broader parts of the country. The lunches provided are great. We really enjoyed getting to know the other travelers in the group, it mixes up most days as some begin their 8 days and others peel off completing theirs. We spent a couple days with some we really enjoyed. Pack a variety of clothes as the excursions take you to beaches, rain forest and volcanos so having a thin jacket as a windbreaker/raincoat is ideal. You go from sea level to over 10,000 ft (not same day) so pack some items for a little cooler/breezy conditions. Overall had a really good time.

This was one of the best...
This was one of the best vacations we have ever been. We got to do so many interesting activities; it is hard to single out one as our favorite. We covered many points of interest from coast to coast. Staying in the same hotel was convenient even if it meant travel time can be long to some of the places. I truly think it is a great value. The tour guides were attentive and friendly. We enjoyed our stay at Radisson, San Jose. The setting was beautiful, with a lot of amenities and the rooms were very comfortable and clean. Breakfast was sumptuous with a lot of choices and delicious.

Excellent service, highly recommended
Great experience overall. Our flight was delayed, and the driver waited patiently for us (sorry about that 😅). He was with his wife, and they had water bottles waiting in the van. They also showed us the crocodile bridge and kindly helped us stop to buy some groceries before dropping us off at our hotel.

Good price great service
Tour operator was very responsive and was able to provide me all the info I needed. I was in a flight delay and busy immigration situation and the tour operator was in contact with me all the time and could confirm with me if the shuttle will still wait as there are other passengers and we want to be mindful of their time. In the end, I made it as they waited for me and that really made my day. The driver was kind and his driving was safe. Would use volcano travel again!
