If you only take one tour in San Jose, this is the one to take! In fact it should be the first thing you do after dropping your bags off at the hotel. Angel is very knowledgeable about the history of Costa Rica and the food is amazing. I’m vegetarian and there was still plenty for me to eat at every stop. Seriously, this is a MUST do.

Great tour, especially done after a more traditional walking tour to round out knowledge of the city and country. Loved trying all the different foods and visiting places I likely would not have ventured into on my own.

Tour guides are good and informative. Lunch is very good. This is the best tour for the money. You get your money's worth

Guide, Oscar, is very knowledgeable about visited sites and arranged trip to optimize our use of time.

Very nice and proficient guide, many different animals in a few hours
