Eric our guide was helpful and knowledgeable. One of the group got los finding the start location and he connected with her and helped her find the group. He provided interesting information on the development of the city through its various historical periods. We enjoyed local coffee and fruits in the market, and he was careful to check for gluten ingredients as I have Celiac Disease. While I couldn’t enjoy some items, such as the empenadas, he did conform that I could enjoy all of the other food items, including calling his own family member with celiac to confirm ingredients in tamales to determine if I could have them. The final stop at the chocolate shop includes a history and demonstration of artesian chocolate making. We took this trip at the beginning of our vacation, and it was fun to begin with this insight into the development of the Costa Rican culture.

Tour guide v. engaging spending just the right amount of time and attention on what's in the market (great samples) and what's in the core of downtown. Great on caution to avoid a certain part of town. HIghly recommend.

The direction to the meeting point showed a street name that our GPS couldnt find. Consequently we were late and the group had left. We called the office and followed up for over 90 minutes to find out if we could meet the group along the route somewhere/anywhere. We got stonewalled by the person we were speaking with.
To be fair he did offer us to take the tour that evening but unfortunately we couldnt take that due to other commitments.

Our tour guide Eric was amazing! Very knowledgeable and fun. We ate a lot of delicious food in small portions with great variety. We were a small group and our friend Eric went out of his way to have everybody comfortable within the group. The pacing was also perfect! We had a wonderful time. Do not skip this tour!

This was one of the better tours I have taken. You really got a sense of the culture in San Jose by visiting the local markets and trying local food/fruit!

Angel was very knowledgeable about the area and the country’s history and gave us a great tour. He is a very personable guy.

Our tour guide was absolutely marvelous-very knowledgeable and interesting. We got to taste many fruits, as well as drink coconut water from a coconut! After leaving the food market, we went to the Central Market and got to taste other interesting dishes. A great tour!

Excellent guide and extremely personable. He was also knowledgeable on things far greater than the food that we sampled. I would do it again

Great tour exploring the two local markets downtown. Our guide was very knowledgeable and loved her work. She purchased different samples for us at each of the markets: coffee, many tropical/local fruits, empanadas, sweet drinks, and more. She was open to questions and even went over the tour time since we wanted to see more things. Comfy walking shoes is a must and local currency if you want to purchase gifts. They are way cheaper in this market than at many businesses around town.

I can't stress how much I loved this tour. I wanted to escape the touristy traps and experience a somewhat authentic market/history tour. This company and the guy pictured in promo Miguel I believe was awesome. I was able to view the markets, try some fruits and get a slight history lesson. I loved it for my first trip and solo trip at that.
