This was a very nice nature walk. In the most unusual place. On the campus of the University of Costa Rica. Our guide Isma was very knowledgeable and nice. I would never thought it could be possible to see sloths in the city. We saw them. I saw more sloths here than I did on a hike in Arenal. We saw some birds, hummingbirds, butterflies and a fuzzy caterpillar. I recommend this walk if you don't want to do a strenuous hike. Many trees and plants. Perfect for children.

Sandra and I absolutely loved Iso’s Free Walking Tour of San José! In just 2½ hours, she guided us through the heart of the city in a tidy loop—no back-tracking—which felt just right. Her passion for local history shines through her fast-paced (and delightfully accented) storytelling, and she always made time for our questions. We appreciated the fuss-free email instructions before the tour and a follow-up with our group photo. She was clear about the pay-what-you-want model—no suggested donation—so we tipped what felt fair. Even though the group was a bit large (and we missed the coffee break), Iso kept everyone safe at busy crossings and pointed us toward charming nearby shops. A warm, genuine way to get to know San José!

We had an amazing experience with Braulio on the San José Free Walking Tour. Just like the other reviews said, he really knows how to bring the city to life. He gave us a solid understanding of both the rich history and the more recent social and political context of Costa Rica. It never felt like a dry history lesson — Braulio made it engaging, relevant, and personal. He also shared thoughtful recommendations and practical tips for exploring the city beyond the tour. You can tell he’s passionate about his work and genuinely loves his city. ¡Muchísimas gracias, Braulio! Highly recommended for anyone wanting to get a deeper feel for San José.
