  • 5Coffee tour

    We had a great experience at Doka Coffee Tour! The tour started with a refreshing welcome cold coffee, which was a nice touch. It was fascinating to learn about the entire coffee-making process, from seed germination and plant growth all the way to roasting. Our guide was very knowledgeable and made the tour both informative and enjoyable. The gift shop was excellent, offering free coffee tastings before purchasing, and of course, the coffee was delicious. Highly recommended for anyone who loves coffee and wants to learn more about its journey from farm to cup!

  • 5Great mix of beauty, learning and fun

    Thanks to Mauricio, the booking process was incredibly easy, and he took the time to answer all of our questions. As promised, the team reached out 24 hours before the tour to provide our driver's name. We were lucky enough to have Marco as our driver, and he made the drive to the Poás Volcano and Hacienda Doka a real pleasure. Along the way, he shared great insights and even made a quick stop to help us spot our very first sloth! The volcano visit was beautiful, and we managed to take a few photos before the clouds rolled in. It's a relatively small park, so you won't need to spend too much time there, but it is definitely worth seeing. Our absolute favorite part of the day was the Hacienda Doka tour. The grounds are gorgeous, and our guide was fantastic—sharing a wealth of interesting information while keeping the atmosphere fun and light. It was also fascinating to see the historic, old machinery side-by-side with the modern, much more compact versions. You finish the tour with coffee and chocolate tasting... You can't get better than that!

  • 5Costa Rican Agriculture is SO COOL

    I was the only one on my 9am tour with Angel and absolutely LOVED it! I work with American farmers & ranchers and this tour was fascinating. I was able to ask Angel questions about production hurdles, sustainability, and economic challenges. I Ubered (pre-booking both) to and from San Jose. It was about an hour away but so worth it!

About San José

San José is Costa Rica's capital in the high Central Valley, a working city of theatres, markets and museums, close to volcanoes and coffee farms.

San José sits in a mountain-ringed valley at about 1,100 metres, where the climate is mild year-round. The neoclassical National Theatre, opened in 1897, is the city's finest building, and the Pre-Columbian Gold Museum and the Jade Museum show the artistry of ancient peoples. The Central Market, a maze of food stalls, coffee sellers and craft shops, keeps its old rhythm, and Barrio Amón and Barrio Escalante have grand houses and newer cafés.

Top-ranked sights in San José: Arenal Volcano National Park, San Jose Central Market (Mercado Central), National Theater (Teatro Nacional).
