This was an incredible experience, well crafted from beginning to end. Angel and Oscar were a lot of fun and offered a lot of information. Both the drinks and the food was so delicious, as well.There isn’t much time in Central Market, so allow another time in San José for that adventure. We highly recommend this excursion!

This was an awesome tour! We got lucky that the others in the group didn’t show up - so it was just our friendly and fun guide Christopher showing my wife and I around the city. He taught and showed us so much about the history, politics, culture, and architecture of San Jose, and even gave us some customized tips of what to do/where to go after we went our separate ways. I appreciated that the tour was more of a conversation than simply a lecture of generic facts. Absolutely cannot recommend enough!

I would never had known gems such as these buildings existed in the hustle and bustle of San José if I had not done this great tour

Our tour guide didn’t show up at the scheduled time and meeting place; and we were early. I messaged the guide through the Viator app but didn’t get a response. It took us some research to get in touch with the company but when we did, they offered us the same tour the next day.
The next day, the guide was early and we had no problem finding her at the meeting location. We had a WONDERFUL time and the guide was fantastic! We went to art galleries, saw street art and learned about the local architecture.
Despite the no-show guide on the first day, I would still recommend this tour!

This tour was so much fun, and I learned so many things about San Jose’s history and culture! I can’t say enough good things about our guide Alejandro. His in-depth knowledge and enthusiasm made this a memorable event.
