“San Jose City Tour”
Thank you Alejandro for our city tour of San Jose. We have never taken the time to go into the city. Learned so much from our conversations and your guide to the city. Excellent information about history and culture. Enjoyed both markets and the coffee break. The stops at the Teatro Nacional and the Cathedral were both beautiful architectural highlights. The Gold Museum was amazing. We asked for lunch at a local restaurant and La Criolita did not disappoint. So thank you again, Alejandro, for a fantastic tour.
