5.00Ashlie’s walking tour of downtown Alajuela was one of the highlights of our time in Costa Rica. An engaging and knowledgeable guide, she brings the city’s history and culture vividly to life as you explore the heart of Alajuela—from the Juan Santamaría Museum and the historic cathedral to other architectural and cultural landmarks. Along the way she shares fascinating stories about Costa Rica’s national heroes, influential writers and artists, and the political figures who shaped the country. Born and raised in Alajuela, Ashlie clearly loves her city and is passionate about sharing the very best of her hometown with visitors. She also made the experience especially welcoming and thoughtful—even surprising us with refreshing bottles of iced tea along the way. For anyone wanting an insightful and authentic introduction to Alajuela, I highly recommend this tour with Ashlie.
