Angel, our guide was friendly and knowledgeable. Our group of 10 people got along very well.
Central Market was fun. Wish we had some time to do shopping there. Nice to learn the history of Costa Rica.
The drinks were unique. The vegetarian food that we requested for, was tasty and felt authentic Costa Rican.
Overall, great experience and great value for the money spent

The tour walking downtown was very informative. We were told we would have time to shop in the market, there was no time to do that, Also, the way it was described, was that we’d learn to make drinks and seemed hands-on, that wasn’t the case.

Everything the other reviewers raved about are all true! This was a great experience, from the walking city tour with our guide Andrea, to the cocktail class, to the dinner where you made new friends with the other folks on the tour. One of the highlights of my trip to Costa Rica and a tour I've recommended to all visitors to San Jose that I've come across.
