Tour description

Are you ready to explore the best-kept secrets of the most popular neighborhoods, La California and Barrio Escalante?

We're kicking off our tour in the iconic Parque Francia, checking out how these neighborhoods evolved into what they are today. We'll chat about their vibe, the big names who made moves here, and hit up spots like craft breweries and an old-school mint/Coin House (where they used to print cash). Get ready for some juicy tales, quirky stories, and maybe even a few laughs that only a true local could drop.

I'll take you to visit and get to know both historic sites and more than 10 establishments, where you'll have the opportunity to try local cuisine, enjoy craft beer, meet, talk, and share this unique experience with friendly locals. 

We're talking a 4 km adventure, maybe a bit over 2 hours, where you'll soak up the city's real culture and nightlife. You'll soak in the stories that shaped these 'hoods from way back, like how Barrio Escalante went from chill vibes to a foodie hotspot. Where you'll catch whiffs of mouthwatering eats and dig the historic architecture.
 

Our adventure concludes in the vibrant streets of Barrio La California, where you'll be swept away by a whirlwind of music, flavors, and unforgettable experiences.

Don't miss out on the adventure of a lifetime! Reserve your spot now and prepare to discover San José in a whole new light."
