Testimonial Perfect Art Lover Tour "We enjoyed a visual feast in San José. The galleries and hide-away art haunts we visited with Barrio Bird were fun, well appointed and interesting. Our tour guide Stacey was knowledgeable, energetic and so friendly! We learned a ton about the history of the city and were amazed at how easy it was to absorb the beauty and fun/funky vibe, Highly recommended!!!" - Leslie P, TripAdvisor
