Free walking tours in San José

Thanks Jules, you were the best!

Jules macht die Stadtführung sehr professionell und herzlich. Er lässt keine Frage offen und gibt hilfreiche Informationen und Tipps, nicht nur zu San José, sondern für Costa Rica allgemein!

Jules was very fun and informative. He provided us with an abundance of facts mixed with fun tidbits about history, food, buildings, parks, and the money. He really knows his country's culture. He even provided us with a fruit drink and a picnic. What a wonderful tour! Thank you for sharing your country with us! 🙏🙏🙏🙏

It was wonderful to meet Jules. He took us to interesting places and made sure we were comfortable. He went out of his way to make sure we safely caught a taxi home as it was getting dark which was very kind of him.

Ama's the best! We had a blast

The perfect intro to Costa Rica. To be honest we weren’t expecting much as we’d read San Jose is not a pretty city, but Ama our guide has a real passion for his city & country and we were able to see it through his eyes. He had amusing stories and taught us a lot above the history, giving us a real appreciation. The market was interesting - we’ll definitely go back today to try some of his recommendations. The tour also featured ice cream and chocolate! 10/10

El tour es espectacular, David es un gran guía y nos enseñó muchísimo de la historia de Costa Rica, además es un gran conocedor del tema de las aves y un gran fotógrafo! Lo super recomiendo!

Jules was simply outstanding in every respect!

Jules was absolutely fantastic guide. It was one of the best guided tours I experienced in my life. I absolutely recommend it with all my heart.

Unglaubliche Tour mit Jules! Alles war super professionell, tolle Orte, genug Möglichkeiten für kleine Pausen und tolle inside Tipps von Jules. Lohnt sich auf jeden Fall! Unbedingt machen :)

So happy that I attended this Tour and got to see the beautiful Parts of San José and to know the Country better! This was just the Perfect start for my traveling in Costa Rica. Jules is probably the best Guide I ever had on a Tour like this!

Hi there. We took the walking tour on Thursday (4/24/25) with Jules. We had a group of 3 and the best thing I can say about the tour was that it felt like I was walking thru San Jose with my local friend. Jules was so informative, cordial, entertaining and funny. We covered some of the most important stops in downtown San Jose and learned quite a bit about the city, culture and food. If you have a morning, do yourself a favor and take the walking tour with Jules. Enjoy!

Muy ameno, Ama fue un guía muy profesional, siempre pendiente del grupo, nos hizo ver San José desde otra perspectiva y la verdad despues del tour la ciudad nos pareció mucho mas interesante de lo que se escucha de ella. Lo recomendamos!

Entertaining and very well informed/educated guide Amaral led us through San José, teaching us with passion about his home town.

Couldn’t recommend this tour and David enough. Famous information into Costa Rica that you wouldn’t get any other way!!

Nos ha sorprendido. No teníamos buenas expectativas y ha sido estupendo. Amaral un gran profesional y amante de su ciudad. Nos llevamos un trocito de San José real este tour. Si hubiésemos tenido más tiempo habríamos contratado alguno adicional.

David is an excellent guide. He was interesting. Very knowledgeable. We enjoyed listening to the history of the country and the buildings of San Jose. We loved the market and the tastings of the famous ice cream and the chocolate place and the market.

Well rounded and informational walking tour. Great for adults and kids. Small group where you get to meet other people and have nice conversations. Our tour went at its own pace and it was one of the highlights of my trip. Jules goes above and beyond and is friendly and helpful. We tried local fruits, drinks, and budin (baked goods). Highly recommend!

We had a fabulous time with Jules. Considerate of everyone in the group with plenty of interesting fun facts & very knowledgeable about San Jose life, culture, history & food. Thank you so much for a great morning Jules. Lis.

One of the best walking tours that I've been. very professional and provided all information needed, as some break stops for a coffee and even a picnic in a park to feel the local atmosphere. Extremely recommended Jules.

Utterly amazing tour by Jules - the best we’ve ever attended anywhere in the world. Great fun, very knowledgeable, and lovely treats along the way.

Amaral ha sido un gran guía. Ha conseguido que nos vayamos con una imagen de San José mucho mejor de la que teníamos. Nos ha entretenido durante las casi 3h, que se han hecho cortas. Muy recomendable

Si quieres aprender la historia de Costa Rica es de 10. He echado en falta parar para orinar, tener en cuenta que son 3h de tour. También he echado en falta recomendaciones para comer y acerca de cómo debemos cambiar moneda. Espero sirva para mejorar. Saludos

The guide was very entertaining, welcoming and smiling. He presented to us many fun facts and stories. Also, he prepared some places to sit down during the tour which was very kind. I recommend this tour

David es muy simpático y tiene mucho conocimiento. Fue un tour muy agradable
