| OUR
KNOWLEDGE AND EXPERIENCE: |
|
|
One
of our strengths as a tour operator in Costa Rica and itinerary consultant for
individuals is the great experience and knowledge of the country that the staff
and in particular Enrique Balsevicius, the General Manager of Saint Germain Tours, has.
Enrique studied for 3 years in the Steigenberger Hotel management school in
Germany ( Steigenberger Hotelberufsfachschule ) from which he graduated in 1983.
Returning to Costa Rica he started to work as a professional tour guide for
many of the better tour operators. Working with tourists of many different nationalities
for over 14 years has produced a wealth of knowledge within the tourist industry
of Costa Rica. Guiding throughout the country with emphasis in naturalism has
led to respect from those customers whose needs, wishes, and points of view
were all dealt with in a humorous but professional manner.After having worked
as a free-lance for many tour operators and wholesalers, and knowing the routes
and modus operandi of those companies, Enrique decided to become an independent
tour operator. The purpose being to provide the very best professional service
and the very best personal service. In this way he could offer a flexible and
honest company attitude producing a product at a fair price with very careful
attention to the clients wishes and needs. His goal is to fulfill the expectations
of tourists and to give them a warm caring treatment that is sadly missing in
large travel and tourist companies. Because of these circumstances he founded
together with his wife Julia the tour operating company Saint Germain Tours, that
offers a personalised tailor made service. We invite you and your guests to
Costa Rica so we can give you the welcome, service and care that you desire
and deserve!
