We booked this tour for our family visit which included my husband and myself as well as our 24 yo son and 80 yo mother-in-law and it was wonderful for all of us! Pablo was so knowledgeable and engaging and he had no problem shifting gears when it was a local holiday and things on the docket were closed. He made alternative plans and we couldn’t have loved the tour any more. Delicious food, local fruits and markets with all our questions answered as well as unique stories all within a radius of our hotel. And he gave us other recommendations for restaurants, shopping and museums over the rest of our stay in San Jose that made our time well spent and really enriching. Would absolutely recommend this tour for your first day in San Jose.

I had such a good experience! Jose was great at connecting us and telling stories. He went above and beyond by walking me to his favorite local cafe after the tour. It was a great introduction to Costa Rica and I hope to come back and learn more.
