Tour description

Discover San José: a free city tour like no other.

Embark on an unforgettable journey through the heart of San José, the vibrant capital of Costa Rica. Our guided walking tours are designed to immerse you in the rich history, culture, architecture, and gastronomy of this vibrant city.

San José is a place where tradition and modernity merge, offering a fascinating blend of colonial charm and contemporary life. Whether you explore historical landmarks, enjoy local flavors, or learn about Costa Rican culture, each step will bring you closer to the essence of our beloved city.

What we offer:

  • Architecture: Admire the beauty of historical buildings and modern structures that tell the story of San José's growth.
  • History: Walk through the main sights and hear the fascinating stories of Costa Rica's past.
  • Culture and tradition: Experience the vibrant culture and daily life that make San José a unique and lively destination.

The tour is available in Spanish, English, or French, is on foot, and I recommend being prepared to experience a basic concept of our culture: PURA VIDA, the essence of Costa Rican life. 

Join us and explore the city, step by step!
