San José Guided Tour
Tour Highlights
We'll begin our journey by picking you up at your hotel at the scheduled time, initiating this guided tour of San Jose's must-see landmarks.
Our first stop will be the Gold Museum, a hotpot of Costa Rican history housing a remarkable collection of artifacts from the Central Bank of Costa Rica. We'll marvel at the stunning array of objects crafted from locally-extracted gold, sourced from rivers and riverbanks.
Next, we'll proceed to the National Theater, a national gem renowned for its exceptional performing arts productions. Beyond the theater itself, we'll admire murals and statues adorning its various halls.
Wandering through the lively streets of San Jose, we'll visit the Atlantic Railway Station, the La Merced church, and the Central Market. At each location, we'll provide insights into the realms of culture, politics, and administration in the capital.
Our tour will culminate in a specialized jewelry and gold workshop, where you'll witness a demonstration of ancient techniques used for crafting traditional pieces.
Upon completion of the guided tour, we'll return to your hotel, with an estimated arrival six hours after the tour's start.
