You'll learn about Costa Rican history at stops like the National Monument – these stops take you all the way from ancient times to the 19th century battle for independence. There are several guided walking tours and a look around the grand lobby of the National Theater. In total, you'll stop at 25 monuments.

On the bus, you'll have access to the Wi-Fi. A folk band will serenade you as you cruise along the capital's busy streets. Come ready to do a little shopping — this tour comes with a stop to explore the Central Market, where you'll have the chance to browse local art and handicrafts.

At the conclusion of the tour, you'll stop for dinner. You'll eat at a popular restaurant where you'll try a typical Costa Rican meal. Afterward, you'll hop back on the bus one more time for the ride back to your hotel.
