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!!

Best custom tour in San Jose! - Fernanda was an excellent tour guide! She asked me ahead of time what I would like to see and then helped plan the tour so I could be stocked up for breakfast and dinner while still taking time to go inside of free art galleries and showing me the bus stops near my hotel! She also gave me great local tips for the best ways to get around and what to see!! Thanks Fernanda!

San Jose on foot - Fernando was an excellent and friendly guide. When we return we would like very much his expertise. Fernando provided us with historical and cultural background to Costa Rica and its capital city.

Great tour, but confusing pick-up info - I had a solo private tour of San Jose with Ezechiel. He was pleasant and knowledgeable; I felt safe and would recommend him as a guide. The Tour Company, was very prompt in reaching out to me when I booked this short-notice tour and I appreciated that.
There was some confusion though about the pickup, cost and how to pay for extra time. So if you go, be sure you have clarity. I incorrectly assumed that because my hotel was listed in the pick-up locations drop-down in the booking process that my pickup was included in the tour. It was not, my guide showed up at my hotel on foot and I called for and paid for the Uber. Further, the traffic was terrible and it took about 40 minutes to get to where the tour started and that time apparently counted as part of my 3-hour tour. And then Ezekiel and I extended the tour to stay at a museum a bit longer. I again made an incorrect assumption that I would pay the tour operator for the extra time through Viator, so I was taken by surprise when Ezekiel expected me to pay him directly for that time, but he could not give me an amount to pay. I do understand that it was partly my mistake to make these assumptions (you know what they say about assumptions!), but I do also feel like the tour description could be more clear.
