Excellent Food Tours - I did a food tour in JACO and had a fantastic experience. The tour was excellent, and I highly recommend it. The owner, who also serves as the guide, is young, ambitious, and very enjoyable to be around. The food we had was excellent, making this a must-do experience for anyone visiting the area.

Jaco walking food tour - This tour is a great way to start your stay in Jaco! We were introduced to local food cuisines that we would not have otherwise tried on our own. We got a nice tour of the town and learned quite a bit about local traditions and the history of Jaco. Your guide is a local and is happy to answer questions and give recommendations on food and activities. Highly recommend! We had a great time!

Delicious, informative, and beautiful! - My partner and I took the food tour on our third day in Jacó to learn a little more about the town and its food. Josue was great with communication before the tour, we had everything we needed and he still reached out in advance in case we had questions. The meeting spot was easy to find. The tour itself was really informative and absolutely beautiful. We learned about the history of Jacó, some local artwork, the flora and fauna, the history of the foods we ate, and even got a few personal stories. It was so nice to connect a little deeper. Josue was a great resource, answering all our questions. The walk itself was nice and easy. The food and drinks were delicious, of course. And the dishes were well paced throughout the evening ( we started at 4.) He even offered to accommodate dietary restrictions. Surprise bonus: he captured more than a few really nice photos of us. Thanks so much for a fun night, Josue! I would highly recommend!!
