Private Tour of San José
At your preferred time, we will collect you from your accommodation in San José to start a private exploration of the country's vibrant capital.
Our adventure begins at the National Museum of Costa Rica, which features one of the most important collections in the Central American region. As we navigate its permanent exhibits, you'll encounter various artifacts from pre-Columbian and colonial eras, enriching your understanding of the nation’s culture and history.
Next, we will proceed to the historic control tower of La Sabana Airport, established in 1977 as the Museum of Costa Rican Art. Here, you'll appreciate works by prominent local creatives, including renowned sculptor and artist Juan Manuel Sánchez Barrantes.
Your guide will then lead you to the stunning entrance of the National Theater of Costa Rica and the Central Market, both symbols of San José's cultural and culinary identity. Following this, we'll stop at the National Monument of Costa Rica, where you’ll learn about the valiant Costa Ricans who stood against the invading forces of American William Walker in the mid-19th century.
Finally, we will admire the impressive façade of the iconic Edificio Metálico and explore the Municipal Arts & Crafts Market. After an enriching six-hour experience, we will conclude the private tour and return you to your accommodation.
