Free walking tours in San José

Jules was a legend! He made San Jose seem like a totally new city to us. The tour was intimate and it was obvious he put a lot of effort into making the tour the best possible experience for all of us. The tour is long but every bit worth it.

Jewel was a fantastic tour guide! We loved learning the history of the city and the country and learned tons of fun facts! Thank you!

San José tiene lugares muy bonitos que pasan desapercibidos por los turistas pero gracias a Andre pudimos descubrirlos.

Jules kept us all engaged and was very professional, fun and had great snacks! Enjoyed myself very much. Muchas gracias Jules!

Einer der besten free walking Touren die ich hatte.

Had an excellent tour with Jules. Alot of interesting information and a well managed / organised tour. I would recommend him and the tour - well worth the time!

The tour lasted over 4 hours and was very informative. Jules made the tour very entertaining with plenty of anecdotes and also built in a few breaks for drinks and snacks. An enjoyable way to get to know San Jose.

El tour con Amaral, se hace muy entretenido y con datos curiosos de los lugares que se visitan. Además de adentrarse en cultura y experiencias locales.

Best free walking tour I ever did! Amaral was so nice and funny, we learned a lot of very interesting facts about the city and we even tried some icecream and chocolate! I would really recommend this tour!

Randall nos llamó con antelación para explicarnos que los sábados no puede hacer el tour de la mañana por otros compromisos que tiene. No hubo ningún problema.

Excelente manera de conocer la ciudad de San José y un verdadero apasionado de la historia de esta ciudad y de su cultura a través de la comida y de la y la amabilidad nos demostró la verdadera filosofía de pura vida

Top. Alles dabei. Interessante Informationen, Sinn für Humor und eine wirklich tolle Runde. Und das in San Jose, wo man schon etwas nach schönen und für eine Stadttour kurzweiligen Attraktionen wirklich suchen muss. Absolut empfehlenswert.

We've taken free walking tours all around the world, and Jules was far and away the best guide we've ever had!

Excelente. Recomendable

Jules tour was amazing! He is so knowledgeable about the area and took us to so many hidden gems! He was also extremely thoughtful! We had snacks, bathroom stops, great stories and even a picnic at the end. I think he is the best tour guide I have ever had ! I have been all over the world so that says a lot about him and his amazing way he takes people on tours ! We were so lucky to have Jules as our tour guide!

The best walking tour we’ve done - Amaral our guide was amazing! After seeing a review scoring “fun” low it made us apprehensive but Amaral was so engaging and funny… with incredible history knowledge too! The time flew by and didn’t feel like a 3 hour walk at all, in the best way. We had lovely surprise food tastings and personal anecdotes from Amaral too. Would recommend to anyone! My only regret = being a backpacker and not being able to afford a bigger tip, so bring your cash, it’s worth it! ☺️

Probablemente el mejor Freetour que he hecho. André es un excelente guía, se nota que le apasiona lo que hace. Y lo mejor de todo es lo cómodos que nos hemos sentido en todo momento.

I’ve done many Guru walking tours and Jules was by far the best. He was so knowledgeable and he provided us with drinks and a whole picnic that he packed with him on the full 3.5hr tour. It was so cute and so personable. My friend and I had an amazing time. Thank you Jules!!

Jules was a great guide - enjoyed his warm welcome, info about Costa Rica & overview of San Jose. He put time, effort and care into planning the route, bringing supplies (including umbrellas), and providing fruit for picnic. Would’ve welcomed less talking (including unrelated trivia) and more sites seen, as those he chose (including old neighbourhood and art gallery) were great.

Where can I start? Amaral was our tour guide and he was very knowledgeable as well as very versed. Loved the attention to all the historical buildings as well as the history behind them, knew a lot about artistic expression as well. All in all one of the best tours you can get in San José!

Jules is an excellent guide. He made the tour informative and interactive. His insight into Costa Rican history was very interesting, and he brought key cultural elements into the mix. Jules tries to keep the groups small, which makes for a much more interactive experience. If you’re looking for an immersive tour, this is the one.

Fantastic guide. Really put his heart into the tour, adding all sorts of personal touches that were way beyond expectations. Very deep knowledge of the city and of Costa Rican culture. Supplied us with snacks! A picnic! Brought along an extra jacket and umbrellas case it rained (which it didn’t). His English is outstanding and he was able to answer all sorts of questions, professionally and knowledgeably. Highly recommend that if you book a guru trip, you do it with Jules!

Muy buena experiencia en el tour con André! Sabía mucho de la historia del país y de San José lo que ayudó a tener un buen entendimiento de todo lo que veíamos y visitabamos.

He went out of his way to make the pleasant tour

Very good tour! Guide has a very good speaking skill. Besides all the historic explanation, the tour was very entertaining with curious fun facts! The guide was very pleasant and planned the tour with stops for refreshing and toilet time.
