"San José: Guided City Bus Tour With Lunch & Welcome Drink" was excellent, with driver Ivan and host Jordan. I even had email access problems, and the Get-your-guide service quickly responded. The guide was bilingual, as half the visitors preferred Spanish. We saw main parts of San Jose, and had an excellent lunch.
The guide was very knowledgeable, and spent a lot of time explaining things to us.

Ruta CR 506 travel agency arranged this tour via Alta Hotel Las Palomas. It was the worse service and tour I experienced. I do not recommend it to anyone. I am highly disappointed the hotel did not vet what kind of tour this was and I am also disappointed that the travel agency lied about the time of pick up. I asked for a refund and they told me I had to go at 9:30 or lose the money. They charged 95USD and everyone else paid 70USd. It was not worth it at all!!!!the lunch was diabolical! The tour guide although friendly failed to capture his audience abs the places visited really fell short of the customer experience. VERY DISAPPOINTING AND A RIP OFF! Do not waste your time or money!

This was a great way to see the city and learn the history of Costa Rica. Our guide, Mario, (aka Bubba), was friendly, kind-hearted, and knowledgeable. He gave us options as we went along to ensure we got the most out of our experience.
