San Jose City Tour & Costa Rican Specialty Coffee Tastings

☕ Why This Tour? Because you’re not just here to drink coffee. You’re here to understand it, to feel its story, from bean to brew. This tour isn’t something you “do” in San José. It’s something you remember. You’ll start in a tucked-away café where the beans are treated like poetry, four regional coffees, brewed with intention, paired with local flavors and stories that stick. And then? You walk. Not aimlessly, but guided by someone who lives and breathes the city. From hidden bird-filled parks to weathered murals to buildings, San Jose opens up when you’re with someone who knows how to read it. This is for travelers who like their mornings slow, rich, and full of insight. For those who want to taste the place, not just see it.
