This was a fantastic tour. I’m not really a city person but we were shown parts of the city that I never would have known about. It was entertaining, insightful and the food was delicious.

Fantastic tour. Some people conduct tours to make money (which is fine), and some people do it because they love to share. This experience was definitely the latter. The entire experience felt like hanging out with a local friend. Walking around and learning about local fruits and seeing the local market, then having a mini cooking lesson and trying local (delicious) snacks. It was the perfect morning of exploring. Jean-Piere was an excellent host so if your in the area and want to get a good understanding of the area, give this tour a go.

Glad we opted to go on a guided tour in San Jose as this isn’t a city that has many tourists. Our guide was very knowledgeable and the people we met at the food stalls were very friendly. We enjoyed tasting different fruits from this area as well as the hands-on experience of making plantain empanadas. The Gold Museum offered many artifacts and insight into the early periods of Costa Rica.
