Great tour of San Jose
Kylynn_G

Filander was an excellent guide! We wanted to see some of San Jose, but didn't leave much time for it. He had so much knowledge to share about the city. After so many days spent hiking in beautiful Costa Rica, it was a very relaxing tour, hitting all of the highlights of the city. A perfect end to our trip!
San José like a local!

We were the only ones on the tour therefore it was private which was so nice. We went on a Sunday night during a big soccer game and we were able to see San José like a local! The car was great, our guide was so personable and we got to walk many of the famous spots. We always felt safe and had such a great time. We learned a lot & would recommend!
Not impressed

I’m writing this review because I spent quite a bit of money and I don’t think it was worth it. The reason for the 3 stars is because of the other people that I met on the tour that made it more enjoyable. The tour was set to start at 5:30pm then I received a message stating that I would be picked up at 6:15pm. At 6:15pm I rode around with a driver because I was advised that they were waiting on others to arrive. The tour didn’t “start” until 7:05pm which is 1 hour and 30 minutes past the purchased start time. The guide was nice but much was not seen and others agreed as we joked about it. I don’t believe the tour is worth the cost.
Response from Host , Dec 2021
We are sorry to hear that your tour was delayed. Normally it always leaves on time, but just that day when we came to pick up other passengers of the same tour, the airport highway was closed due to the mobilization of a bridge, which caused a delay in the departure of you and other passengers.
We appreciate your comments, which we value and take into account to improve the quality of our services.
Terrible Company

Terrible company. Couldn’t make the tour because long wait at customs and traffic. Would not work with me and reschedule. Pretty much just gave the company 300. Plus dollars.
Response from Host , Apr 2021
Dear Heidi , I am sorry to hear about it I understand that you were not able to do the tour becuase your flight arrived in Costa Rica later than expected , however our Operations Dept offered you the option to re schedule the excursion and you told us you would be taking it this Friday 4/23/21. So, your money hasn't been lost. Hope you will be able to finally take and enjoy the tour.. Thank you !!!

My tour guides was very knowledgeable of San Jose. I got to learn more about the country's and city's history. It was a pleasant experience to see the see city. They took me to a "no frill" restaurant that specializes in authentic Costa Rican cuisine. It better than food from the restaurant in the hotel I stayed at.

Great tour with knowledgeable and friendly guide. Made it a very personalized experience. The restaurant wasn’t fancy, but it was some of the best food I had in Costa Rica. Highly recommended.

Great way to find out about San Jose

This tour was excellent. I ended up being the only tourist on the tour which was fine with me. Oscar was the tour guide and he was great! He was very professional and accommodating. He offered to take me to the grocery store if I needed anything. He knew a lot about the city. I was able to get great pictures even at night. Dinner was wonderful and delicious! I highly recommend this tour to find out about San Jose.

We perform checks on reviews
You can only submit a review or rating of an experience to Viator if you were the person who made the booking through Viator. Before publication, each review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information for each of the following criteria: who, what, how, and when. If the system detects something that contradicts our publication criteria, the review is not published. When the system detects a problem with a review, it may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site. In some cases, we will also send you an email asking you to validate your review before it is published. All you need to do is click on the link provided in the email. After publication, our team checks each review reported to it as not meeting our publication criteria. Tripadvisor reviews that appear on the Viator site are subject to the same checks and moderation processes as set out above. It is not necessary to have booked an experience through Viator (or Tripadvisor) to submit a review of an experience to the Tripadvisor site.
