Gladys was an amazing tour guide! She managed the small group with ease and walked us around to see some of the key sites in San Jose, including a market. Ended with an absolutely delicious dinner. We loved it so much that we ended up going back to that same restaurant two more times before the end of our trip!

This was a great intro to San Jose which far exceeded my expectations. The well paced walking tour with our outstanding guide was followed by a truly gourmet dining experience at Silvestre. Treat yourself!
A Great Snapshot of Bustling Life and History of a Fascinating Country.

Our evening tour of San Jose was expertly guided taking us through central area of San Jose, passing historic monuments, immersing us in a bustling and colorful market, inspiring us with beautiful historic architecture, accounts of Costa Rica's history and topped off by a delicious traditional meal at a lovely restaurant. Service was excellent, group was small and intimate and our guide very informative and gracious.
Exceptional insight to san jose and its food.

Definitely a highlight of my trip to costa rica as an insight to san jose and a superb eating experience. Angel was professional, informative and fun guide for the central market and other stops. The dinner at Silvestre was exceptional with well chosen dishes and included drinks. All in all would highly recommend and not just for foodies.
Loved this tour!

I loved this tour, our tour guide Angel was super respectful, and knowledgeable! He guided us through rush hour🤣. Which can be hectic, but was not difficult to keep
Up! As a person with ADHD, his talking points weren’t boring, he added his own life/meaning to the words! And I really enjoyed the tour, and than when we got to the food. The food was DELICIOUS!!! 100/10 recommend again. Everyone was super kind, would definitely recommend!
Two thumbs up!

Erik was an excellent guide through the busy city. Very knowledge about the history and culture of Costa Rica. Walked through the market and bought coffee beans like a local. Dinner was authentic indigenous-inspired food and was delicious.
