Greetings! We are Amaral and David, long experienced guides from San José. Nowadays we are developing our own tours initiative; San José City Striders. We want to become your new local best friends in San Jose, and help you discover all it's secrets and marvelous places. Let us take you to explore, learn and have fun in the Capital City of the first country in the world to abolish its army. We are gonna show you the true meaning of our famous "pura vida"... By the way, did we mention we are OFFICIAL CERTIFIED GUIDES BY THE COSTA RICAN TOURISM BOARD?
David was a fun and engaging tour guide. He is a great communicator (speaks many languages!) and provided a lot of curiosities and comments about the culture of Costa Rica which really paint a live picture of the country's identity, without going too deep on historical trivia (so definitely not boring at all). He managed our large group (around 12 people) incredibly well on the busy streets of downtown San José. The tour does take over 3 hours, with two stops for shopping (souvenirs, coffee and chocolate) - the stores were good and had reasonable prices, and we were offered free tastings of ice cream, coffee and chocolate. We had a great time with David and definitely recommend this walking tour! My only reservation: this should not be advertised as a "free walking tour", and GuruWalk's statement that "you decide what to pay" is not accurate, as they ask for a minimum value of 15 USD per person. However this was communicated clearly and in advance, which we really appreciate (and the tour was in fact absolutely worth 15-20 USD per person).
Very nice! Only the start place was wrong at gurus email
El tour es increíble, no solo aprendí, también conocimos muchos lugares locales que le dan sabor al viaje como la sorbeteria. Lo recomiendo 1000, David sabe y conoce mucho, siendo local tiene los mejores datos y recomendaciones
Amaral es por lejos, el mejor guia que nos ha tocado en un tour. Profesional, divertido, amable y con mucha información! Amamos San José!
