- vautin4 contributionsI really enjoyed my walking tour of downtown San José with my guide Sharon! She shared a lot of interesting history that I wouldn’t have otherwise gleaned without her knowledge of the city. Definitely one of the highlights of my Costa Rica trip.Review of: San Jose ART Walking Tour - small groups, creative experienceWritten January 12, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- VWBakerBaltimore, MD9 contributionsWe loved loved this tour from start to finish. Even with covid restrictions, Jorge found limited entry museums for us to visit and explore. He was knowledgeable of the city's history as well as, the country's. We found the political and military history quite compelling. Ended our day in a trendy, up and coming neighborhood that was perfect for a late lunch and libations. Definitely recommend for anyone who appreciates small, personal tours.Review of: San Jose Walking City Tour Small GroupWritten January 21, 2021This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- RobertKansas City, MO3 contributionsOverall my Wife and I had a good trip. What surprised us both was Costa Rico's prices. They are equal to US Prices for most goods and services. The service staff attitudes were indifferent towards customers. They are not as friendly as Mexicans.Review of: San José City Tour with a Local GuideWritten February 26, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Norman B5 contributionsInteresting tour with a very able guide providing a timely and competent service.

- douglas4 contributions"San José: Guided City Bus Tour With Lunch & Welcome Drink" was excellent, with driver Ivan and host Jordan. I even had email access problems, and the Get-your-guide service quickly responded. The guide was bilingual, as half the visitors preferred Spanish. We saw main parts of San Jose, and had an excellent lunch.
The guide was very knowledgeable, and spent a lot of time explaining things to us.Review of: San Jose City Half Day Tour from San JoseWritten October 6, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
