It was a wonderful experience which proved all the tour guide books wrong in my opinion. Stacey took us on a tour of history, attractions, everyday life and gave us tips for enjoying the city long after the tour was done. I highly recommend it, especially if you are planning on spending some extra time in the capital. It was... More

We went on the Bird's Nest tour and loved it! We have been to Costa Rica 7 times, but this was the first time we stopped and walked around in the city. The tour was a leisurely walk discussing culture and architecture. Wish she had been around when we first started visiting Costa Rica because it was such a great... More

Stacey's prompt replies to my initial emails gave me a good feeling about booking, and I wasn't disappointed. Artist Tour: What a treat to have Stacey point us to architecture and street art that we probably would never have stumbled across on our own. And while we might by ourselves have found the fair trade shop featuring indigenous artists' work,... More

We met Stacy on our first morning in Costa Rica. She was very helpful and responsive to our e-mail requests. A driver met us at the airport and took us to meet Stacy in downtown San Jose. She organized a custom walking tour for us that included the National Museum and Museum of Gold. Both were well worth the visit.... More

Researching for our first trip to Costa Rica, I found a short video of this walking tour on youtube. Because we were staying a few days in San Jose before going to Osa, I went to the Barrio Bird Tours website and booked a walking tour for the morning of our first day there. As others have reported already, this... More

Stacey was a great tour host! I got so much more out of San Jose having someone with local knowledge leading us. We went to major spots in San Jose, discussed the historical significance, and actually learned a thing or two. I highly recommend Stacey's tour. - Chris

I spent one day in San Jose during my recent holiday in Costa Rica, and am glad that I went on a Barrio Bird walking tour during my brief time in the city. Stacey is a very friendly, enthusiastic, and knowledgeable guide. I learned a lot about San Jose's history, architecture, and culture during my afternoon tour. I would definitely... More

Some folks had warned us about visiting San Jose, but we are glad we decided to spend a day here before venturing off to the more exotic regions of the country. The highlight of our San Jose visit was our tour with Stacey. She was friendly, funny and really knew a lot about Costa Rican history and culture. The tour... More

Stacey was great. She was on time, answered all our questions, responded quickly to our emails, tailored the walking tour to our needs, and a lot of fun to hang out with. Two thumbs up!
