Friends in San Jose

Published on Feb, 2025

Paul was extremely pleasant and knowledgeable. We had a wonderful experience of Cartago and San Jose! We had a taste of Costa Rican culture and cuisine. He showed us sights we would not have experienced on our own. We were 6 older adults and sightseeing from 9-3 was a little much for some of us. An hour shorter would have worked best for our group. But overall a great experience!

San Jose Historic District Tour

Maria was very friedly, knowledgle of Costa Rican history, culture and places of interest. My wife and I throughly enjoyed our tour of San Jose Historic District.

Gear intro to San Jose!

Our guide was fabulous! Very knowledgeable. We covered a lot of territory in 2 hrs and ended with an amazing lunch in an authentic restaurant. Government buildings, national parks and Central Market. Worth every penny!

Paul is the best!

Paul was an amazing tour guide! He knows the city very well with lots of interesting places to see and learn about the culture of Costa Rica. He took time to coordinate our tour making it a very unique experience. I highly recommend Paul & viator.

Amazing tour, even more amazing tour guide!

We traveled to both Cartago and San Jose, and both were so incredibly interesting! We even got “copo†(CR ice cream) and “tablita†for lunch, which was so yummy!! Gracias Paul!!
