  My wife & I really enjoyed the walking tour. Ama was a superb host with an infectious love for San Jose & Costa Rica! Tour takes just over 2 hrs... read more and Ama is extremely knowledgeable

  We booked the market tour for the same day, luckily they confirmed right away. Our tour guide was Ama (Amaral) and was easy to spot at the meeting place. We... read more started in the entrance of the Central Theatre to check out the statues, walked though the lovely church near by and proceeded to the market. The market is kind of like an enclosed flea market with everything from house hold supplies, meats, shoes to souvenir trinkets.

Ama made this tour absolutely delightful, sharing his passion and love for his hometown. We tried about 6 larger samples that were included in the tour price, ranging from chicharones con carne, coffee, fruits to the oldest ice cream in San Jose. If we weren’t so full, I would have loved a larger serving of the unique ice cream. So delicious! Also, I grew up eating tamales, but have never had a Costa Rican tomale which are creamy, rich and better than any I’ve ever had! Looking forward to getting more before our departure.

I highly recommend this tour to get a taste of Costa Rica from Ama, a proud and patient Tico. Thank you Carpe Chepe and Ama!

  Our tour guide, Ama was awesome! He was very knowledgeable about the city and took us to places that are great for pictures 😊

  I recommend the free walking tour to everyone passing by San Jose. It gives you great insights and it’s the best way to discover the city!
