The tour begins with a hotel pickup and a ride in an air-conditioned minivan through San Jose, accompanied by live folkloric music and commentary from a professional art historian guide. It lasts about five hours and combines several walking segments with a longer bus route around the city. The first stop is the National Theater, where participants spend around 20 minutes viewing the theater lobby. Next, the tour visits the Central Market for about 25 minutes to observe local vendors and shoppers. On Sundays, when the Central Market is closed, the group visits the Handcraft market in downtown San Jose instead. After the market, the tour continues to Plaza de la Libertad Electoral, allowing 20 minutes to explore the National Monument there. Then, guests board a VIP city bus for approximately four hours, traveling past various monuments, churches, and other landmarks, with short walking tours included. The tour also includes a walking visit to the Pre-Columbian Gold Museum, followed by a 25-minute stop at the Museo de Arte Costarricense to see the Gold Room. A lunch meal is included during the excursion. The Ministry of Culture of Costa Rica has recognized this tour as being of cultural interest. Hotel drop-off completes the experience.
