“Spectacular Walking Tour!”

I had an absolutely amazing time on this guided tour of San José’s downtown. Pablo, our guide, was simply fantastic — he brought the city to life with his deep knowledge, engaging storytelling, and genuine passion for Costa Rican history and culture. He made us feel completely immersed in the atmosphere of the city, connecting past and present in such an inspiring way. The tour was not only informative but also incredibly fun and dynamic. Pablo kept the whole group engaged from start to finish, and I walked away with a much richer understanding of San José and its hidden gems. Highly recommended to anyone visiting the city — this experience truly exceeded my expectations!
