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.
This afternoon adventure is a feast for the senses, a journey through the heart of San José that leaves you craving more.

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!
