Great tour

Excellent tour. Our guide was very knowledgeable and gave us a wonderful tour of San Jose. The music on the bus was a nice touch and the lunch was very good. Great for the first time visitor.

If you don’t have much time it was great trip to do & learn about San Jose. Guide was great & communicated well with all the tourists.
