San José, Costa Rica - Walking Tour Changes During COVID-19

First, thank you for considering travel to Costa Rica and taking an interest in our tours. 

We were THE FIRST walking tour company focused solely on San Jose and the urban experience in Costa Rica.

For 11 years, it has been our joy to help visitors scratch below its chaotic surface and expose the true hidden gems of history, food, art, politics, architecture and more. 

As borders start to open and flights start to resume, we are taking a FLEXIBLE approach to offering tours. ​

Changes

Availability 
As of November 2020, we are operating a select choice of tours.

​Please note availability could change as COVID mandates are issued by government. We will immediately communicate with you if there must be a change. 

We operate rain or shine. We reserve the right to change the routes based on special events, security or needs of clients.

Group Size
We have always had a max of 8 people on tours to ensure a customized experience. We are reducing this number to 4, and no more than 2 different social groups of people in order to minimize transmission risks.

All clients are required to wear a mask throughout the duration of the tour.

Walking Tour Options

Bird's Nest - OPERATING. 
This is our most popular tour and since its origination has always been 90% outside, stepping only into the National Theater lobby, a hidden converted cultural space and 2 churches.

Depending on these sites being open, current health events and your level of comfort, we may or may not enter these sites. Contact us to inquire. 
​

Artist Bird - OPERATING
This tour traditionally visits a few galleries but also includes a great amount of historic sites and street art. We will enter inside spaces as available.

It is likely that we will not be able to enter many until November or after. In that case we can mix this tour with elements of the Bird's Nest listed above. We are happy to be flexible with you if you'll be flexible with us! Contact us to inquire. ​

Hungry Bird - NOT OPERATING
This tour relies heavily on time spent in the Central Market. Due to its tight corridors and generally heavy traffic we do not feel it is appropriate to offer this tour at this time. In addition, restaurants are closing or modifying how they offer service and we cannot guarantee these experiences.

​In the meantime, our guide Alejandro is a vegan pastry chef and if you would like to have him prepare you some local treats let us know. Contact us to inquire.
