Small Group Walking Tour

Enrique was our guide. He was excellent - personable and knowledgeable. We touched on all the most important historical and architectural elements of the downtown area. There were only four of us which made it very nice.
Great guide, great info
Published on Feb, 2025
Enrique was very knowledgeable and friendly. He set a good pace for us older people and was very clear. The historical information was just right for us - we knew very little about Costa Rica.
Discovering downtown San Jose
Published on Feb, 2025
The guide was very knowledgeable. After spending a week in San Jose he took us to many areas we had not yet discovered on our own and gave us the historic context for what we were seeing. It definitely was worth the cost of the tour!
