5.00Very good way to discover a city. Comments are relevant. It’s nice to walk from one place to another.
Nice to see and hear the downtown history of San Jose.

5.00Our first experience using this walking tour guide and it was so much fun to do this on our own without a large group. We only had a little difficulty getting online at first but we figured it out.
This came in clutch...

5.00This came in clutch during my first full day in San Jose. I only wish I had seen this sooner so I could do it earlier in the day and explore more of the museums but I was trying to make it to the Central Market before it closed (I did make it but some of the shops were starting to close already so I was just in time) the city was beautiful and I got to take some really nice pictures. The map and guide were easy to follow and very informative. Good for a solo person who isn't sure where to start.
