Top San Jose Dining Experiences

"Saw several historic buildings and monuments then a wonderful tour of the Fresh Market where we had a taste of several different fruits, juices and local foods. Learned the history of the city and the people. Fabulous day."

"So much fun! We had a great time. Very good to do on the first night there because it was so informative. Our guide was wonderful"

"Excellent tour guide and itinerary. While this does not stated it explicitly, the tour group is small so the guide was able to attend to each participant. Totally recommend."

"This was an excellent all day trip from our hotel in San Jose (Marriott Hacienda Belen). We were picked up at 5:45am and brought back to the hotel by 8:30pm. The coach bus was comfortable. 2 hour trip to the coast. 2 hour boat ride to the island. Same coming back. The breakfast was good; though light, so I recommend you bring something to supplement. Drinks on the boat bar were good. The island is stunning and we were on there for 5 hours. Did the snorkeling and banana boat activities (for extra fee). Both were fun and worth the nominal fee. Gift shop with shirts, sundries, and sunscreen was on the island. They accepted credit cards. Paid for a wifi password and it was worth it. Lunch (included) was more than expected: salad, potato salad, rice, chicken, and fish. Tasted good and did not leave us hungry. Cash bar on the island was good too (nice that you could start a tab on the boat in the morning, continue it to the island, and then continue it on the boat back!). The ONLY downside to the trip was the location of the volleyball court. It was literally right in front of our beach chairs (chairs provided by our tour). I can't tell you how many times the ball hit people trying to relax. Other than that it was really a perfect trip. Bring your own towel. There were some street vendors selling kabobs and a small convenience store selling snacks before we got back on the bus home. I entertained 9 co-workers and 14 clients. I would recommend again!"

"Wow what an amazing tour of the city, saw some incredible sights and learned more of the history of the country and the people. Jorge was a fantastic guide his passion for his country is contagious. Lover every minute."

"Wow, we loved this tour. Our guide, Ivannia, was wonderful. She was very knowledgeable and friendly. The tour was much more comprehensive than we expected it to be, as we got to see some of the main buildings in downtown San Jose as well as going through Central Market and sampling some of the food and drinks. I highly recommend this tour!"

"Angel was amazing, he was so knowledgeable and friendly. He introduced us to many fruits as well as coffee. He also had some much history to share with us. It was a wonderful was to introduce us to Costa Rica."

"Our tour guide was great. Very nice and friendly. He even helped my husband get a cab home. It was a great night out"

"My wife and I were the only passengers. However the guide and driver gave us the entire package. They were very knowledgeable and did an excellent job."

"This was one of the highlights of our Costa Rica trip. Perfect mix of adventure, adrenaline, and relaxation all at the same time! Robertillo was our guide ... and he was a riot! He helped make the experience great. Managed to see a coati and various birds and butterflies while rafting, and both breakfast and lunch provided were tasty! I recommend this as a must if you're staying in and around San Jose. Three hours was the perfect amount of time to raft, too."

"Nice Experience and the Sympathy of our tour guide Jordan make the Evening Tour more comfortable after the rainy weather. Thank You Jordan"

"The most memorable part of this experience was the tour guide, Giovanni. He guided through an amazing day of adventure and made it so fun and educational. Poas was beautiful and the coffee farm was really interesting. He also took us to an authentic Costa Rican restaurant for lunch. Loved every minute!"

"Excellent tour. Easy pick up and transportation, delicious food and beautiful sites along the way. Adrian was a great tour guide and made the entire day relaxing. Would definitely recommend!"

"We really enjoyed this tour. Great food and beer pairings at each stop. Iva, our guide, was very knowledgeable on the types of beers, the beer making process and the CR breweries. She keep the group engaged as well, since were the only non Costa Ricans on the tour. We picked the hotel pick up option as well which was nice. ."

"This tour was the most incredible experience I could have asked for in San Jose. I did not know what to expect but upon the tour's start I knew I was in for a treat. I was treated to an incredible and descriptive hike in which I was able to view all the biodiversity and experience the magical waterfall from multiple views. There is a great view of the mountains during the hike so bring a camera! After the hike, I experienced the private hot spring which was relaxing and therapeutic."
