Tour description

Discover the city of San José from the hand of a lover of the city.

On this tour you will learn the stories behind each building, monuments and parks. We will visit hidden corners that few people know, we will also visit the well-known lung of the city where different wild animals and beautiful flora live.
We will begin the tour at the Rafael Ángel Calderón Guardia museum house , we will pass through the old customs house which was the place where in 1888 the merchandise of the country was stored and negotiated, cooking the first railway to the Atlantic.

We will visit parks such as El Nacional, Spain, Morazán and their stories , we will explain the route to the central market founded in 1880. Later, we will know the Naturban routes known as the lung of San José, ending with a tour of the various architectures such as Victorian, Eclectic and Baroque. .
As a good "TICO" I will put all my passion so that you fall in love with my city.

Si están buscando a una persona profesional, apasionada por su trabajo y conocedor de Costa Rica, Randall es su guía ideal. Mi familia y yo aprendimos mucho de él, nos llevó a conocer muchísimos lugares en San José. Tiene mucho conocimiento en historia y le apasiona el intercambio cultural que experimenta con sus clientes. Una persona encantadora, amable y respetuosa. Sencillamente el mejor.

Le tour de ville avec Randall était intéressant, nous sommes passés par plusieurs parcs, bâtiments anciens et monuments pour finir au mercado où il nous a offert de la noix de coco.

Tres bien. Tour adaptable. Il m a montré des choses que je ne connaissais pas a San Jose dont une seance de cinema gratuite sur une ile dans le pacifique un marché ou il m a fait acheté du requin des tours en construction des histoires de fantomes des residences d ambassadeur... il connait tout ! Je ne voulais pas voir le teatro ou la catedral mais ils vous les montrera si vous voulez !
