"Despite visiting San Jose during the rainy season, I still think a food tour is one of the best ways to get to know a city. Maria took me to multiple local spots. At great variety of dishes that left me satiated, but wanting to explore more. She’s a great tour guide. She’s very knowledgeable about the city, and her being an artist and Muralist only Aviad. Would highly recommend."

"Maria took us to several of her favorite restaurants and we sampled local food and drinks. She was so informative and fun, full of energy and you could feel her love of the city. The food she chose for us was delicious and just enough to fill us up. We also walked quite a bit around the city and she pointed out key areas and buildings for us. It was a great tour! Thank you! "

"I have three criteria for a great food tour. It should take me places I wouldn't have found via Google reviews, it should give me a window to the city's culture, and the guide should bring an interesting personality. This tour, while a bit pricey, absolutely delivered on all three. Maria was excellent company throughout the day, her intimate knowledge of the local art scene greatly enhanced the tour, and she picked great bites that felt very authentic and true to city's culture. The food selections focused on what every day Costa Ricans eat rather than high end culinary one-offs. We very much enjoyed this approach and left feeling like we had been given the chance to connect with the city through its food."

"We had a great time with Alberto. He is kind and engaging, a pleasure to talk to. He chose well for the 10 tastings. Great variety of food and locations, and at a casual pace. We were introduced to many new tastes even though we had been in Costa Rica for two weeks! Highly recommend."

"Three friends and I went on the walking food tour in San Jose with Maria as host. We couldn’t have been more pleased in the choices for all local dishes at various eateries. We had a lot of fun and I would recommend Maria wholeheartedly for this tour."

"Alberto was a wonderful guide for our family of four (2 adults, 2 teens). We enjoyed learning about San José, its food culture, and Costa Rica's history, and the all of the food was super tasty! We ran a little long and had to skip our last stop, but we had more than enough to eat. I definitely recommend this."

"The tour with Maria could have not been better. 10 local foods that I had not heard of and a great tour and history of the city. Proud of all the murals she has been awarded to do for the city-don’t miss this best part of Costa Rica! "

"We had a wonderful morning with Maria, enjoying the interesting flavours of Costa Rica as well as seeing some of the sites of the city. The ice cream flavoured with interesting spices was a highlight. The tour was made all the more special by Maria and her engaging personality. There was also plenty of food, so make sure you start the tour hungry!"

"First of all, come hungry! The 10 food items advertised in this tour are no joke. This is a food tour of delicious \"comida tipica\" (traditional Costa Rican dishes) led by local muralist María José. Her knowledge of contemporary CR culture, arts, and politics adds depth to the tour. María Josés English is excellent AND she was happy to let us work on our Spanish by talking with us in both English and Spanish. We were lucky to be able to see several of her murals and to talk with her extensively about her obra and her methods of making art. María José is a very engaging and knowledgeable tour guide. Her flexibility, depth of knowledge, and engaging personality made It worth the cost of taking this private tour. Do it! And don't forget to come hungry!"

"We’ve done lots of food walking tours in all kinds of cities. We got to try a variety of delicious local dishes while learning about the cooking traditions, the people of San Jose and seeing some of the beautiful murals which Maria has painting. Don’t eat before and you will be very full by the end. "
