Amazing way to learn about and experience the culture of San Jose. The market we visited was truly the heart of the capital so it felt like it really captured the spirit of what the capital is. The food samples were great, we were able to try coffee, tortillas, and ice cream. Also a great way to shop like a local. Tour guide was spirited and passionate it was a very good package.
