Hi! My name is Guillermo Espinoza, although most people call me "Memo". I have 15 years' experience as a local guide and holiday planner. I am very pleased to be able provide efficient service with a smile all the way through!
Wanting to give my clients a more personal experience, without the rushing nor the crowding that comes with big groups and larger companies, I now work directly with groups of families, friends or colleagues who wish to discover this beautiful country, together, at their own pace.
With my team of drivers and guides, I will make sure you have the experience of a lifetime - without any hassle.
I enjoy providing information and answering all your questions! My knowledge and love of nature and the local wildlife, as well as of the local people, will give you a deeper insight into the life of Costa Ricans and our environmental treasures.
My philosophy is that a day out should be well planned, but also leave plenty of room for enjoying those unexpected moments that come along and make a trip truly memorable. I am happy to travel at your pace! - stop whenever and wherever required to see animals, take pictures or go shopping. I also love to find out about what makes you tick, and surprise you with off-the-beaten-path activities...
I always carry a selection of refreshments in the vehicle, and while we will make the most of your time here, I am not looking at the clock to get to the next place as quickly as possible. Hey, you're on vacation, pura vida!
Because I run a small operation with plenty of experience on the ground, I have fewer expenses than the big companies, so the cost of having your own personal guide and private vehicle is surprisingly affordable - just a fraction higher than the regular tours offered by hotels and tour operators - and in some cases even lower if your group is big enough!
No sharing a bus with strangers, having to pick up people from different hotels, being ushered around to stick to the timetable... Travelling with me, Memo, is about you and your group's flow.
Enjoy a personalised experience for the trip of a lifetime, safe in the knowledge that I am looking out for your safety as well as your enjoyment.
I look forward to meeting you! Click here to contact me.
