4 rate this tour with 4.5 stars

As usual, everything was well arranged by Baka Tours. Felipe was a knowledgeablr and friendly guide with a good sense of humor. Just as we like it. It really is a great way to explore a city. We loved the coffee tasting and the empanadas. His knowledge of the local beer scene was very helpful. We really recommend it.

Review Person

The bicycle tour in San José was very interesting. The tour guide was excellent and we were able to see a lot of highlights of the town. San José is not a bicycle town so no Nice bike paths. The tour guide choose a Nice and safe route. In all a good experience and if you like biking I would recommend it.
