San Jose Walking Nature Tour: Sloths, Birds and Trees
MUST see Tour!!
A trained biologist, Rigo, took us on an incredible tour of it started with the trees and then the birds and even a sloth! He explained the lifecycle and how so much of the forest is dependent on one another to continue to grow, ie., how some ants in a tree protect the sloth who lives there. We also went to a butterfly sanctuary and rainforest that can only be seen by tours or with a researcher. This organization offers other tours, private tours and I think even overnight camping. Take this tour and I promise you will be glad you did.

San Jose Walking and Bus City Tour
Excellent historical tour!
Our tour Guide was so informative. We are history buffs so this tour was an amazing overview of the founding fathers, Civil War and government. The Gold museum was fascinating and the market was amazing to see. Great fun day and the double decker bus was perfect for viewing the city.
