We had a wonderful time with Serigo as our guide through the city! He gave us an incredible tour because it is clear that he is very passionate about history. He was friendly and cheerful and gave us recommendations on food, music, and places to see.
Thank you so much for your kind words! We are really happy to hear that you had a wonderful time exploring San José with Sergio. He is indeed passionate about our city's history, and I will be sure to share your feedback with him. We hope to welcome you back again soon!
We had a great time on our tour, there was a protest march on at the time and Jorge took care to alter our route so that we did not get mixed up in it! We had some really tasty food and learned about coffee in a very classy coffee restaurant where we got to drink eome special coffee. Jorge was extremely knowledgeable about the history of San Jose and Costa Rica. Highly recommended tour!
Thank you for your fantastic review of our tour! We are so glad you had a great time. We especially appreciate you recognizing Jorge’s quick thinking and care in altering the route so you did not get mixed up in the protest march. It is wonderful you enjoyed the empanadas and had a good experience learning about coffee. Thank you for your high recommendation. All the best, Roberto
We had a free day at the end of our coast Rica tour as our flight wasn’t until 18.30 so we’re looking for something to do to fill the day. So pleased we did! Had a thoroughly enjoyable morning with Felipe who was very knowledgeable and passionate about his city. We were lucky that it was only the 2 of us so felt he could tailor make the tour to what we were interested in. Only wish we could have done this at the beginning of our tour as we would have loved to explore San Jose more,
Thank you for your review! We are thrilled you had an enjoyable morning with Felipe. We're glad that Felipe could tailor the tour to your interests. We hope you will visit again soon! All the best, Roberto
Really interesting ride starting downtown - learning more of the history of CR - it’s coming to be and its culture. Then across different neighbourhoods where you can also see much differences to the feel and life in general. Very informative and then we had fantastic empanadas at the winning empanadas cafe and then onto a coffee tasting experience. Good bikes, good helmets and great guide (Elric) You may think it’s dangerous to ride round San Jose. We felt completely safe. Traffic was easy to navigate. It’s not a super long ride so very easy. Meet outside the national theatre then very short walk to pick up the bikes so don’t worry that you’re in the wrong place. Definitely recommend.
Thank you so much for taking the time to share your fantastic experience on the San Jose Bike & Bites Ride! We're thrilled you enjoyed learning about the local culture and exploring the neighborhoods. We will certainly pass your kind words on to Erick. It’s also wonderful to hear you felt safe and enjoyed the empanadas and coffee tasting. We truly appreciate your high recommendation! Best regards, Roberto

Hello! Thank you so much for the review. We are delighted you enjoyed our bike experience and the food stops! We appreciate you noting that an e-bike wasn't necessary for a great ride. All the best!
Felipe was a fantastic guide, he explained so much interesting history of San Jose and Costa Rica as we rode along. The coffee stop and empanada stop were wonderful. The traffic was very manageable, not a problem. Felipe made sure we had a safe ride. We would recommend this tour to anyone visiting San Jose.
We truly appreciate you taking the time to share your positive experience. We are happy to know you enjoyed our Bike & Bites Ride, and we'll be sure to pass your kind words on to Felipe. We hope to welcome you back again.
If you are fit to ride bikes up a couple hills, this tour is the best! Very engaging guide, you’ll see so much of the downtown area you would not see otherwise, fanTAStic coffee stop, yummy snack, wish we could rate this 6 or 7 stars!
Thank you so much for your incredible review! We're really happy to hear that you enjoyed the experience with Felipe. We're glad the coffee and snack were highlights of the tour. We appreciate your kind words and look forward to welcoming you back to San José. All the best!
Absolute blast doing this tour. Our guide had some great local stories, and the empanadas were fantastic. Good pace, and since it was just the two of us, our guide adapted the tour according to our preferences. Loads of fun.
It was a holiday when we did this tour so the roads weren't busy. Could be trickier with more traffic. Great insight into San Jose and Costa Rican history. Really enjoyed the coffee tasting and exceptional empanadas at a local soda.
