Free tours a San José

Nos encantó conocer San José de la mano de Amaral, el realmente ama su ciudad y tiene como propósito que uno la ame y entienda también. Explica todo muy bien, conectando los distintos puntos que va visitando. El tour fue muy bueno para comprender la historia misma de la ciudad y del país, y se relaciona muy bien con lo que uno puede ver después en otros museos.

Jules was fantastic - over and above what we were expecting! Fantastic day around San Jose!

Definitivamente lo recomiendo. Amaral fue un excelente guía. Aprendimos mucho y fue interesante: historia , arquitectura y sugerencias para comer. El tour es de tres horas pero no se siente. El tiempo vuela.

This was a great introduction to the city center and downtown of San Jose. Jules did a great job personalizing the whole experience. He walks to you through the main attractions of the city center. He pays close attention to detail. It was a great experience. it’s about 3.5 hours long and it’s all worth it. Highly recommend.

Very nice guy, he shows yu both historical and culinary tips of the city. I recommand 👍

El tour con Amaral fue un acierto, resultó muy entretenido, no se nos hizo largo y nos permitió descubrir parte de la historia de la ciudad. Amaral es un gran guía, haciendo que la experiencia sea amena y manteniendo a todo el grupo muy atento e interesado. ¡Volveríamos a hacer el tour sin duda!

Jules was excellent. He gave lots of cultural and historical information but interspersed with fun facts and local knowledge. He paced the tour well and spoke in the shade or where we could sit. He treated us to refreshing drinks from a local fruit shop and savoury pastries from a bakers. We stopped in a shady spot in a park and he provided fruit that he had prepared and brought from home in an ice cooler. He even brought toothpicks and spoons. He also brought umbrellas and little cloths to put on walls when we sat to protect our clothes. He recommended traditional family run restaurants and places of interest that we might like to visit. He even gave us tips to make our money go further. We have done many guru walks in many countries but Jules was a star by far the best.

It was a blast. He has a degree in history and was able to answer many questions. We were very appreciative of his tour.

Un tour súper agradable, entretenido, interesante, divertido, ni se siente el tiempo caminando de lo interesante que hace el recorrido Amaral

Excelente experiencia, brinda mucha información y es muy entretenido. El trayecto es muy bueno y pudimos apreciar los principales lugares

A great tour of San Jose with Jules! He gave us a good introduction to the city, insight into the interesting history of Costa Rica and many ideas for places to visit the next day. His love of and pride in his city was very evident. Pura vida Jules!

Marco isan excellent guide with extensive knowledge of Costa Rica and San Jose history.

El guía un 10 muy entretenido caminamos muchos pero se paso el tiempo muy rápido muy recomendable

Werner is a lovely man, very caring and knowledgeable about his country. You gain good knowledge of how Costa Rica has developed.

Realmente sorprende la cercanía y claridad de Amaral, es divertido y didáctico. Ha hecho que el centro histórico de San José resulte interesante y divertido.

Yo envié al tour a 2 visitantes, con anterioridad ya había enviado a otro y todos han quedado encantados con Jules, con su profesionalismo y con su forma tan amena de dirigir al grupo.

Jules es muy responsable. A pesar de ser la única persona que asistió al tour, no lo canceló y los fun facts que me brindó super interesantes

David was a fun and engaging tour guide. He is a great communicator (speaks many languages!) and provided a lot of curiosities and comments about the culture of Costa Rica which really paint a live picture of the country's identity, without going too deep on historical trivia (so definitely not boring at all). He managed our large group (around 12 people) incredibly well on the busy streets of downtown San José. The tour does take over 3 hours, with two stops for shopping (souvenirs, coffee and chocolate) - the stores were good and had reasonable prices, and we were offered free tastings of ice cream, coffee and chocolate. We had a great time with David and definitely recommend this walking tour! My only reservation: this should not be advertised as a "free walking tour", and GuruWalk's statement that "you decide what to pay" is not accurate, as they ask for a minimum value of 15 USD per person. However this was communicated clearly and in advance, which we really appreciate (and the tour was in fact absolutely worth 15-20 USD per person).

Randall es muy buen guia! Caminamos por la ciudad. El iba dando informacion actualizada de los lugares y de Costa Rica. Hasta nos convido juguito de coco. Excelente todo Randall! Gracias!

Very nice! Only the start place was wrong at gurus email

El tour es increíble, no solo aprendí, también conocimos muchos lugares locales que le dan sabor al viaje como la sorbeteria. Lo recomiendo 1000, David sabe y conoce mucho, siendo local tiene los mejores datos y recomendaciones

Amaral es por lejos, el mejor guia que nos ha tocado en un tour. Profesional, divertido, amable y con mucha información! Amamos San José!

Very professional run tour

Jules was absolutely fantastic - we learned a ton, enjoyed incredible snacks, and Jules' kindness made our entire tour even better :)

Jules was a very friendly and knowledgeable guide, pointing out many different places for different interests and giving us many interesting facts about the city. I really enjoyed this tour and would strongly recommend it to others :)
