The Best San Jose Costa Rica City Tours

  If you travel to San Jose, this free walking tour is AN ABSOLUTE MUST. We met at the National Theatre (Teatro Nacional) at 10AM and my group was guided by... read more Iva. The tour took about 2 1/2 hours and Iva was amazing. She was multi-lingual and was able to address both Spanish and English tourists throughout the tour. Iva was upbeat, knowledgable, and made San Jose's history one to remember. My favorite parts included visiting a local coffee shop (when in Costa Rica coffee is a must, right?) and having ice cream in the Central Market (Mercado Central). Do not miss this tour!

  We joined the pub crawl mid February with visiting friends from Argentina, the United States, Italy and The Philippines.

We had previously joined Carpe Chepe for the free city tour, and since we had a good time then, we decided to sign up for this pub crawl. We were not disappointed. All of our friends enjoyed themselves and we got to discover some new places ourselves as well. We visited different bars and didn't have to wait in line at any of the these places. This was really nice because some of the bars had lots of people lined up outside waiting for their turn to go inside. The guides were very friendly, bilingual, and made sure everyone enjoyed their night out. They seemed to be having a good time themselves as well and they kinda just felt like part of our group! It sometimes took a while to get drinks, but other than that we had zero complaints. We would definitely sign up for this pub crawl again in the future, or try one of the other tours that Carpe Chepe offers. If you're looking for a fun night out, this is it! …

I went solo, but I highly recommended even if you're coming with friends/your other half
