Ronnie our tour guide and... - Ronnie our tour guide and driver did an awesome job. He was very polite and so knowledgeable about the history and culture of Costa Rica. He wanted us to have a good time. We had lunch at a very nice place. Dining with him was like being with an old friend not someone we just met. He took us to a unique place to shop. Overall...excellent way to start our trip!

San Jose Tour - Wonderful tour, exploring all through San Jose. I definitely recommend it. Our tour guide was friendly and knowledgeable, and even stopped when we saw a roadside stand of fresh fruits that we wanted to taste tour company was very professional.

Comprehensive Intro to Costa Rica - Great baseline of culture, history, and governance. Ronnie was a great ambassador for Costa Rica and it was a pleasure getting to know the country and him a bit better.

We recommend that you... - We recommend that you don't go to downtown San Jose on a holiday. The traffic was horrendous, therefore we were not able to get to see some of the sites.

Windshield Tour of San Jose - This tour is great for those that want a "windshield tour" of San Jose. Was disappointed that we weren't able to go into the Museo Nacional de Costa Rica. Did enjoy the local dinner.

San Jose first look - Very informative, included a nice lunch. We didn’t realize it was a private tour. Oscar knows his facts but has strong accent, hard to understand at times.
