The tour guide Mario was very knowledgeable and friendly. Every stop was more exciting than the last and the food was amazing.
A superficial glimpse of San Jose

First the good news. The tour bus arrived exactly on time and there were just two couples in a minivan, so lots of room and opportunity for an informative tour. The driver (Christian) was excellent, a very safe and considerate driver, but sadly the guide (Oscar) let the side down. He lacked enthusiasm and seemed to be going through the motions, churning out his spiel come what may. Questions we asked were generally ignored. In fact it seemed that he wasn't even listening to us. There was too much time on the bus and not enough focus on the important buildings.When we did get off the bus to look at the Theatre foyer and walk down the Main Street he went off for a smoke and left us on our own. Annoyingly he changed the running order, visiting a jewellery shop first for a sales pitch when the weather was dry. None of us wanted to be there or buy anything. First hour wasted. Then it started to rain just as we got off the bus for the first time and rained continually thereafter. The lunch stop was however very good. Overall a very disappointing tour.
