Fun and informative tour in Escalante!

Aaron_G, Jan 2026

This was a fun and informative tour. We chose this activity for day one of our trip to learn about both Costa Rican food and the area around where we were staying in Escalante. MJ is very friendly and even assisted us with suggestions beyond our tour to help make our stay in Costa Rica perfect. The tour covers several stops but the total amount of walking is not bad at all. We're definitely happy with our selection.

Response from Host, Feb 2026

So glad your first-day pick set the tone for the trip — MJ loves helping guests get their bearings and discover local favourites beyond the usual spots. Happy you found the walking pleasant and useful, and thanks for choosing us to start your Costa Rica adventure. 🚶‍♀️ Cheers, Maira from Cook in Fiesta

Maria took us to three local restaurants and we sampled various local dishes. The food was amazing at all places! She was very knowledgeable about the Costa Rican history and gave us lots of interesting information.

Response from Host, Jan 2026

Thank you so much for your wonderful review, Rebecca! We’re delighted you enjoyed the culinary tour with Maria and had the chance to explore local flavors at our favorite restaurants. Maria takes great pride in sharing not only delicious food, but also the rich history and culture of Costa Rica. Your feedback means a lot to us, and we hope to see you on another Cook in Fiesta adventure soon! Cheers, Maira from Cook in Fiesta
