Carlos was an incredible host and made the entire night unforgettable. From the moment we met, he brought great energy, kept everything organized, and made sure everyone was having a good time. He knew exactly where to go, got us into great spots, and kept the vibe fun and smooth the whole night.
What really stood out was how attentive and professional he was while still keeping things relaxed and enjoyable. We never had to worry about anything—Carlos handled it all and made sure the group stayed together and had an amazing experience.
If you’re looking for a fun, stress-free night out, Carlos is the person you want. Highly recommend—would definitely do it again!

This was so much fun! I had such a great time, the host was really fun and we had the chance to visit a lot of cool and interesting bars. I recommend buying your own drinks and shots in addition to the ones that you get, but other than that it was a great time!

This was a great time! The host were amazing! We were able to get a driver through them there and back that just felt safer.! Truly amazing! My only suggestion would be to stay a little longer at some of the spots. It felt like we moved quick & no bar outside of the first one felt like it was lit. However the host can’t know when & how people will be in bars. But again the ice breaker was amazing.! The vibes were good and the host were truly immaculate.! Thank you for a great time!

The host were not attentive and didn’t complete the crawl cuz they were too busy drinking with each other did not enjoy

Worth every penny . More than the drinking it’s about the experience. Special mention to Ally , our host . She’s a rockstar
Pratham_S, Dec 2025
Not the bar crawl vibe I was expecting for San Jose. Also your experience will depend a lot on the group for the night.
Rosalind_L, Dec 2025

The experience was amazing Alexa was really fun to be with and made sure everyone is included. 100% would do the bar crawl again!
Vincent_O, Nov 2025
This San jose bar crawl was great. It was cool to see the night life of San Jose. We visited a total of 4 bars. And you got a free shot or beer at 3 of the 4 bars. We were 20 in our group which was decent. Overall the experience was great. Our tour guides Fatima and Amanda did a great job trying to keep everyone engaged. Book this tour for Saturday. It was very busy and lively with locals and foreigners.

I almost did not make it to this bar crawl as I had a long commute and reached San José just about an hour before the tour started. When I messaged the organisers to let them know I was running late, they were very responsive and welcoming and organized a driver at an added cost for me. I am truly grateful that I still went because this experience was amazing.
Ismael was an excellent tour guide, and Amanda joined us as well. She guides on other nights, but it was lovely having her there. The tour was real value for money with the shots and drinks that were included. Even when I bought my own drinks, especially at my favourite stop which was Chupitos La Cali, the prices were very reasonable. Chupitos stood out to me because of the unusual and fun way they do their shots and the whole grunge and urban modern vibe of the place.
I had a wonderful time. I even heard music from my country which was the icing on the cake. The group meshed together so well, and Ismael was very good at creating that atmosphere. I will definitely recommend this tour to anyone visiting San José even an enemy lol and I will do it again.

I had an amazing time doing this bar crawl! My tour guide, Fatima was so amazing! She was friendly & made sure to keep my group & I entertained the entire time! We met other guests that was attending this bar crawl. She was perfect! 10/10
Carina_R, Oct 2025
Amanda was our guide and she was so much fun. We had a ball. The shots kept flowing, everyone was dancing, the bars we went to had great music. It was definitely a vibe and I recommend.

Ismael our host was very attentive and engaging. Ismael kept us entertained and frequently checked to ensure we were having a great time. Ismael definitely didn’t make this solo traveler feel like she was alone. The others that joined the event were amazing and fun to be with as well. I loved the games we played in the beginning as ice breakers and I truly appreciated Ismael going above and beyond by staying with us and making sure we all had safe transportation from the event.

I’m so but I done the same bar crawl a week before with Ismael who by the way was absolutely amazing. This one with Fátima was a joke. For the first hour very little interaction with the group because she was to busy playing on her phone. Then the first place she takes was very small and completely full. Absolutely no room so by then I’ve had enough so an hour and 15 minutes in I call for an uber. I think you should get more people like Ismael. If you book this excursion and you get anybody besides Ismael don’t waste your time.
casey_j, Sep 2025
Ismael is absolutely the best host. E got the whole group in an awesome vibe. Definitely gonna try this again.

If you’re looking for a fun way to experience San José’s nightlife, the downtown pub crawl is a must. Amanda and crew did a great job bringing together a group of travelers from all over.
Tiffany_A, Aug 2025
Last night was an absolute blast. Our host Alexa, Amanda, and one more I unfortunately can't remember her name were amazing. I would 10/10 recommend
Dave_D, Aug 2025
This is a great way to experience a variety of night spots in San Jose that are not touristy or just more of the same. We started in a cool pub, went to a creative shot bar, dropped in at a cocktail bar where fire plays a key role, and finished on a fun rooftop bar. At least that’s what I remember! Our guide were super fun and enthusiastic, and our group ranged in age from early 20s to 60s, and we all had a great time.
Skye_J, Aug 2025
it was amazing ! our hosts were hilarious and so full of energy ! the group was also so fun and helped me bring in my birthday with a bang !
Monica_M, Aug 2025
Great experience so much fun! Definitely have you experiencing a lot of different bars!! You will enjoy every moment I loved it!
Ronnie_V, Aug 2025
A must do if you want to have a great nightlife experience. The bars were very different from each other which was great and for the cost of the experience, well worth it. 10/10 would recommend and this is one you could do again just to meet other people.
Kristina_L, Jul 2025
This was honestly such a good way to explore outside without being afraid
I don’t care much for a few places we did go to but other than that, our guide Alexa was amazing!
Kennedy_O, Jun 2025
