Your Costa Rican Guided Tour Operators

Guide and co-owner of Chiquita Tours, Heather got hooked on exploring the world as a young girl, traveling the Caribbean and Americas with her family. She went to study abroad in the Netherlands when she was 19 and hasn’t stopped traveling since. She has lived and worked all over the United States, Belgium, Ireland and Costa Rica, where she met her business partner and co-owner of Chiquita Tours, Kristin Brewer. She has also traveled extensively through Africa, Europe, Central, South, and North America. She presently divides her time between Costa Rica, Europe and the United States.

The Ticos, as Costa Ricans are commonly known, are famous for their hospitality, and are quite happy to live up to their reputation. They are well-educated and hard working people, who are quick with a handshake and a smile. They are well aware of the special land they have, and most likely they will help foreigners when they get lost, even explaining things that might seem bizarre to foreigners, and making their stay as enjoyable as possible.

People say the Ticos are their nation’s greatest asset, and once you’ve experienced their friendliness and spontaneity, you’ll have no doubt to that regard.
