We wanted to get a sense of San Jose while being active and really got that. Paul was our guide, he was very friendly and knowledgeable. Stopping along the way, giving us information about the buildings, architecture, and history of the neighborhoods. Towards the end of the tour we stopped for empanadas and then coffee at two wonderful and unique spots. We truly enjoyed ourselves. Highly recommend.

Really enjoyed Alex's in-depth knowledge of the city and the history of Costa Rica.
The bikes were good and helmets were provided. The bike ride was fairly easy which worked for us because I was recovering from surgery. I had the impression that Alex can adjust distance and difficulty based on riders. Alex also focused on our main interest, history.
The empanadas were excellent, as was the discussion around coffee.
San Jose is not a very bike friendly city, but after a few busy streets Alex took us into quieter neighborhoods.
Highly recommended

Short time in San Jose so asked Roberto if he could do something special for us: combine cycling and walking. No problem. We went out on the bikes first. Initially very busy but once out of the initial road , it was calm. Alex suited the ride to my pace, stopping to chat and explain culturally what was happening and point of interest. A trip to the green market was extremely interesting as well as trying some local foods. A walking tour around the market and surrounding area then a stop a lovely quiet location amongst the hustle and bustle to try some coffee. Bought some lovely Costa Rican chocolate there as well! This was like a local friend showing you around. We really enjoyed!

We had a great time on our bike tour. Our guide, Malo, was really wonderful. He took us on quite an adventure. He recognized that we were pretty experienced riders, so we took a bit more difficult route in order to go to a beautiful park. He peppered the trip with history and information about the city. Our trip ended at a very nice coffee shop where they explained the growing, brewing and exporting processes of Costa Rican coffee.

We had a great time on our tour with Alexander. Educational, fun, great exercise, and an exciting way to see San Jose. From my initial phone call, Roberto was very accommodating for us on short notice, and arranged a tour for our time schedule. We really enjoyed the stop at cafe machado, too, for a local, expert coffee experience. Highly recommended for an active tour.

We had a great private tour with Pablo today. When we initially got to San Jose and saw the traffic, we were apprehensive about riding bikes through the streets. But we were pleasantly surprised to see how many bike lanes and paths the city has. Our guide Pablo was a young friendly guy who spoke perfect English. We learned some historical and architectural facts, rode through parks and flower-tree lined streets, and got a tour of the beautiful University campus. My husband and I are active thirty-somethings who don’t bike very often, and the difficulty level was perfect for us. This tour is a great way to see a lot more of the city than you would by foot!

A walking tour of some of the traditional dive bars in San Jose. Carla was an awesome guide, so knowledgable, and engaging, it felt like we were just going for a couple of drinks with a friend we'd known for ages.
Really interesting bars, that we almost certainly wouldn't have gone into without the tour. Well worth booking this in on your first night in San Jose as well to really get a feel for the city. I'd definitely do the bike tour if we were stying longer.

I booked a last minute trip to Costa Rica and wanted to find a city tour of San Jose to learn more about the culture. I found ChepeCletas through Lonely Planet, and contacted them after I arrived. They were quick to reply, and even though their public tour didn't work out with my schedule, they were able to offer me a private tour to accommodate my travels. Carla the tour guide took me on a three-hour walking tour of San Jose. She was funny, engaging, knowledgeable, and professional. She not only showed me the sights, she also introduced me to the culture and the people. I couldn't think of a better way to end my first visit to Costa Rica!
