WHO ARE WE?
Have you noticed that San José tends to be a mandatory stop (mostly for transport connections) rather than a destination in most tourists itineraries?
Visitors rush to our beautiful coasts, mountains and volcanoes without even bothering to find out what kind of charms does this city hide. Travelers, on the other hand, tend to blend in and search to interact with the people that call this place home. THE LOCALS.
We are the locals. We live here, and we have tons of fun. You just need a friendly hand to point you in the right direction.
Our tours blend history, fun and recommendations from locals who love traveling and want to help other fellow travelers to make the most out of Chepe. Hope that our tours can help you to explore and discover why is that we love it here!
Carpe Diem, Carpe Chepe!
We had the best time with our guide Mariano Calvo "Nano". Besides been very young, he's very knowledgeable and taught us a lot of things. We got to know new places and got to experience a night full of entertainment

When i came to San José for My second time i had no expectations, thought it was kind of a boring town and with a quite boring nightlife, then we saw that carpe chepe dis a pub crawl and decide to try it and see what happens, and i will tell you that this night changed my opinion in San José. One of the best night i had and everything was well orginazed. Our guide Erick was fantastic and telled us about the town and made this to an amazing night. I would recommend this to everyone WHO goes to San José and looking for a good night!

We have been to San Jose on our own a few times. We always ended up walking up and down the pedestrian mall and seeing the same shops over and over again. This time we tried something different and did a formal tour with Aimee from Carpe Chepe. It was sooooo much better than trying to figure out the city ourselves!!! She showed us all sorts of cool neighbourhoods and brought us to cool restaurants. Her recommendations on local craft beer were perfect. She told us about the city walking tour and craft beer tour. I only wish we had found out about Carpe Chepe earlier as we are leaving before being able to try the other tours. Next time
