If it wasn't for coffee, perhaps there wouldn't be a San Jose city today. On this tour we'll share with you the history of coffee in our town, where was the first coffee plantation, the impact of the grain in our country after the independence, and how the exports helped bring progress to the Central Valley. We'll talk about the different coffee production areas in Costa Rica, as we sample coffee in different infusion methods. Do you know what's the difference between a chemex and a V60, or what's a Vandola? You'll also meet the local baristas, that are trying to change the way costaricans enjoy this delicious and energetic drink. Small groups (10 people max.) ensure personalized attention. Last but not least, we're a local company who believes that we can improve our city through sustainable tourism. We're the first tourism company to specialize on promoting the history and heritage of San Jose, and help other local entrepreneurs while creating unforgettable experiences.

Inclusions: Local guide, Hotel pickup and drop-off (if option selected), Visit to 3 cafes, 3 coffee tasting (3 different techniques) with their respective barista explanations, Coffee Connoisseur guide

Exclusions: Additional Food/Drink, Hotel pickup and drop-off (if option not selected)

We joined the pub crawl mid February with visiting friends from Argentina, the United States, Italy and The Philippines. It was a great way to spend time together, have our guests see some of San José, and learn more about Costa Rica from locals. We had previously joined Carpe Chepe for the free city tour, and since we had a good time then, we decided to sign up for this pub crawl. We were not disappointed. All of our friends enjoyed themselves and we got to discover some new places ourselves as well. We visited different bars and didn't have to wait in line at any of the these places. This was really nice because some of the bars had lots of people lined up outside waiting for their turn to go inside. The guides were very friendly, bilingual, and made sure everyone enjoyed their night out. They seemed to be having a good time themselves as well and they kinda just felt like part of our group! It sometimes took a while to get drinks, but other than that we had zero complaints. We would definitely sign up for this pub crawl again in the future, or try one of the other tours that Carpe Chepe offers. If you're looking for a fun night out, this is it!

This was our first trip to Costa Rica and we traveled with a group of 10 friends. Los Suenos Transfers was a huge part of our trip, because of the size of our group. They picked us up at the airport and drove us to Los Suenos. The bus is very clean and they had refreshments for the ride. We stopped halfway for some food and drinks while we viewed huge crocodiles from the bridge. The excursion to Manuel Antonio was awesome!! Diego and his brother Albarro were very knowledgeable being local and very informative about Costa Rica. Diego stopped the bus and saved a sloth trying to cross the road! We used Los Suenos Transfers for many trips while in Costa Rica and always felt welcome with their warm and pleasant demeanor. They were always on time and got us where we needed to be. Many times they would stop and show us things about their beautiful country such as panoramic views to macaws, monkeys, sloths, and crocodiles. I highly recommend Los Suenos Transfers if you want to make your trip better. Thank you Diego and Albarro for making us feel like family. Pura Vida!!!

We often book walking tours in most of the places we travel to. This tour was hands-down the best so far. Our tour guide, Jason, was funny, extremely knowledgeable, and detailed. At each spot, he explained the surrounding with a touch of history and politics. The markets were out of the world. Don't think twice to try out the food sample he offers and dine at the local spots he suggests. The food will blow your mind. We thoroughly enjoyed every bit of this tour.
