Not worth the price. Terrible at the end. I think it’s worth about 25 to 30 dollars at most. The guide was nice though

Pickup at our hotel was a good bonus. Our guide spoke English and Spanish and shared his knowledge well. The tour of the Art Museum and Gold museum was interesting. We enjoyed the restaurant atmosphere and the food was traditional and delicious

This tour offered the opportunity to see the city of San Jose with a great guide. Hector was helpful, clear, able to warn us about safety issues, and gave us historical background that was really fascinating. The Museum of Art was beautiful as was the National Theater. The gold exhibit was honestly amazing! Our lunch was delicious, and we were given the opportunity to visit the market and get a few souvenirs. If we had one complaint it was that it took 40 minutes to go from our hotel pickup to the next one, and we dealt with that both going and coming back. That added a lot of riding time to our day in very heavy traffic, but our drivers were excellent so we had no worries on that front. We would recommend this to anyone visiting the city for the first time.

Only one bad thing is, that time to see most of the places is limited. Otherwise a nice trip. You would see the most important places in San Jose.

Nice way to get to see the city and for a nice price. Guide was nice and seemed knowledgeable. Volume on PA system needed to be higher though so people upstairs could hear better especially with the windows open. Music on the bus was a nice touch as well.
