Free walking tours in San José

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 :)

It was a treat to take this tour with Marco. His knowledge and love of Costa Rica was so evident and made the tour special.

Great tour. Very thorough and tried local drinks. Showed us a lot of the main area and was very knowledgeable

Jules is a great guide, well prepared for any situation! He made us dip into the culture of Costa Rica on several levels and even provided us with food and drinks. Very considerate about anyone's individual needs. We did only little walking but saw and learnt a lot! Thanks for the great experience. Definitely recommendable!

I found the tour excellant, David the guide was entertaining, very helpful and informative. My first Guru walk and very impressed

David gave us so much information about Costa Rica as well as San Jose. He was engaging throughout. At the end of the tour he also gave us a very good recommendation for food and showed us where the restaurant was. It was a well organised tour.

Amazing tour with Pablo. Educational, fun and at a nice relaxed pace.

Jules is a fantastic guide. He is friendly, knowledgeable, and genuinely kind. He brought the city’s history to life with helpful visuals and showed us hidden sides of the city we wouldn’t have found on our own. He also took great care of us with thoughtful stops along the way. Highly recommend this tour for a deeper understanding of the place.

Great tour!

Eine super Tour! Sehr kurzweilig und interessant, lustig und unterhaltsam. Die besuchten Orte und die Info waren sehr spannend. David hat zudem einen super sympathischen Stil und ein gutes Tempo.

A comprehensive tour of the central core of the city. Our guide was great.

I do recommend Jules, he tells many interesting stories, lets us try local fruits that we never heard of. Very interesting.

Jules was very knowledgeable and informative. Excellent manner and we learnt a lot. His preparation was second to none … we would highly recommend this tour!!!

The tour from Alex was great and inspiring - his wealth of knowledge and storytelling was inspiring, it was a great way to explore this incredible, rich city. Pura Vida Alex!

Jules is truly amazing and a great host in addition to being an awesome guide. His tour is focused on culture, history, food and fun facts. He keeps the tour pace right and makes every participant feel special. His food stops were well paced and his hosting us to taste a lot of local food in a park in picnic style was inimitable. Thanks Jules for being patient and introducing us to beautiful Costa Rica and its marvelous people

Lovely afternoon- detailed tour of San Jose, loads of info and very well paced. Our guide jules was excellent

Jules ist es gelungen uns Costa Rica und San Jose nahe zu bringen, das war ihm ein echtes Anliegen. Der Informationsgehalt war sehr hoch und die Art der Darbringung extrem anschaulich. Selten eine so gute Free Walking Tour erlebt.

Pura Vida! Jules was a fantastic representative of the Costa Rica spirit. He immersed us in a well paced and choreographed tour of Downtown area San Jose. He really took the time to throughly shared both sights and interesting histories of Costa Rica! We received some interesting and tasty treats during our tour in a most wonderful way! Thank you, Jules!

Great guide, very interesting although lasts 3.5 hours and could have been done in 2.5.

MARCO was great, really knowledgeable but also personal which you need in a guide. He took us around downtown, sharing his insights and recommmedations which as a solo traveller I really appreciated.

Marco is a very nice person and a very good Guide! He gave me a beautiful tour and interesting facts about San José. I can highly recommend the tour!

This was a great mix of the expected, major attractions as well as some hand-picked more personal destinations and experiences (fresh coconut water at the fruit stand, snack in the park, inside look at boutique hotel and high end hostel, art exhibit in high end hotel.)

I had a fantastic experience on the walking tour in San José, Costa Rica with Jules as our guide. He was incredibly knowledgeable, engaging, and passionate about sharing the history and culture of the city. Jules brought the streets of San José to life with fascinating stories, local insights, and great recommendations for food and places to visit. The tour was the perfect mix of history, culture, and fun, and he made everyone in the group feel welcome and involved. You can tell he truly enjoys what he does and takes pride in showing visitors the real San José beyond the typical tourist spots. It was a great way to start exploring the capital and learn more about Costa Rica’s culture and history. I highly recommend this tour, especially if you have the chance to do it with Jules!

Pablo was a great guide. He communicated well before the tour and took account of my requests. He introduced us to locals along the way; he was very friendly and informative. The tour covered things like chocolate tasting, trying sweet empeñados, guanabana juice, information about stalls within the market and lots of local snippets of information about buildings and places of interest.
