Great Way to See the City - What a fantastic way to see this city. I really feel like I got a good overview of the city's highlights and history. Don't underestimate the food places on the itinerary. It was amazing. A truly memorable meal, representative of the local cuisine. Miguel was knowledgeable and charming. Clearly an experienced guide who tailored the tour to our group. By the end of the evening, it felt like I had just spent time with friends as opposed to merely being with strangers on a tour. I highly recommend this tour.

Great experience - Jorge was knowledgeable and very friendly. The stories behind the buildings and statues helped to build my understanding of the development of San Jose and Costa Rica. I had a fantastic experience.

Amazing Tour with Esteban - Esteban was an amazing tour guide! There were 3 of us in our group with him and he did an awesome job telling us about the culture and the history as we walked the streets, ate in the cafe and sipped hot chocolate. It was beautiful architecture and sightings. I would definitely do it again with a tour guide like Esteban!

Perfect activity for travelers new to San Jose/Costa Rica - Very Highly recommended
We had an evening to kill in San Jose between our flight landing in the afternoon and heading off to central valley the following morning. We are a family of 4 that includes 17 and 21 year old children.
Daniel was our guide and the experience was a perfect way to fill that evening. He was very interesting to listen to and taught us a lot of about CR culture and history. The evening was capped by the best food we had in CR.
Note - you only eat at the very end of the tour so don't start out hungry!

Rewarding and interesting - Very interesting to see and understand something about the culture, customs and gastronomy of Costa Rica. Due to the climatic conditions we find it difficult to enjoy more in the city of San José.

This is the second time... - This is the second time I've taken this tour while in San Jose, and I learn new things each time. Alejandro took his time and did a great job explaining the history at each stop. It's a great way to spend the evening in the city!

San Jose at night - It was a very good group. The guy was knowledgeable and the food was good. I would recommend. It would’ve been easier if the menu had been written out for us so that we had more time to decide people were really friendly.

Excellent tour guide but nothing much to see - The tour guide was very knowledgeable and friendly. He seems to really enjoy what he does. The tour was not really inspiring though. I could have probably taken the same stroll on my own. There really was nothing much to see. The stop at the bar was nice and the beer is refreshing. The last part consisted of a walk of over 25 minutes of nothingness to a restaurant. By the time I got the restaurant I was exhausted. Luckily the food there was delicious. There was some really nice folks on the tour with us and that made it a bit fun.

Was not able to make it... - Was not able to make it because my airline delayed the flight by a whole day. Tour guide and Viator is refusing to refund me even though this was out of my control.
