Fun and educational all in one. - Christopher was our tour guide and was amazing!! He was very informative about the local flora and fauna as well as info about the cultures and economics of the region. He went above and beyond (jumped off the bus to dig in the dirt to show us the size of local spider) spotted many of the wildlife (bats, sloths, monkeys and more) and made sure EVERYONE was able to see and take pics. He was fun, informative and made our tour well worth the visit!! Kudos to Christopher, truly the BEST tour guide ever!!

Greenway Tours and Esteban are fantastic! - Esteban took very good care of us our day in Limon. He picked us up at the appointed time and gave fun commentary in his van. We went to the rainforest tour with the tram ride. Followed by rover boat. Saw lots of sloths and a couple of monkeys. He was our favorite tour guide of our whole trip!

Wonderful opportunity to view and photograph rainforest, and wildlife while learning a bit about Costa Rica - Steven our guide for the day was waiting outside the cruise terminal area holding a sign with our name. There were only 5 in our group for the day. On the ride to the Rainforest Steven told us about Limon and Costa Rica. He was great fun and very friendly. We enjoyed our day with his guidance. At the Rainforest we had a nature guide for the walks to point out wildlife and plants. She gave us plenty of time to take pictures. The Tram ride gave great views of the rainforest and the Costa Rica mountains in the distance. The guides on the boat tour worked hard to find and point out wildlife. We saw howler monkeys at a distance, many types of birds, iguanas, and a sloth up close. Steven had a snack of fresh fruit waiting for us after the river boat. He made the trip fun and informative. I would recommend to anyone who wants to see rainforest.

Great biodiversity in the rainforest - A very nice tour. During the hike we were lucky enough to be able to see a very large toucan right in front of us and. During the river trip, we saw birds as well as some sloths and caimans. A great day in a very beautiful region.

Don’t believe the small group descriptions. Although I believe it was not the organizers fault, but each venue - Our “small group experience”. Leaving the port, fine, a van of about 10 people. When we arrive at the rain Forest our group split into zip liners and tram riders. Ok so far. Then we sat around and waited for 20 minutes for another BUS of people so our small group tripled in size. Several in this new group were unprepared for the stairs and walking involved on the trails. The canal portion was decent, but we had a group of 4 women who were early and already on the boat, drunk and fairly obnoxious. Did see sloths, which was the point so ok …

Review - We had a wonderful tour guide from TripAdvisor. From him we learned something we did not know before. Especially he taught us the fruits produced by Costa Rica. We even tasted the fruits beared from his backyard.

Beautiful Day in Costa Rica - We had a goid day with Ariel and the tour. This was not a polished experience but done with the best of intentions and with care. The man's seating was pretty tight and the driver missed a turn. Our canal boat ride was in the city and it ran around on a marked shallow point. There was a lot of talk about the conversion to green energy as we witnessed the poverty of the areas we were driving. It seems tge people would be much better off if the high cost of green energy would be put to work for them. They could have lower energy costs, better transportation, and lower taxes rather than less reliable green energy. Ariel worked to make it the best experience possible and we felt very good about him. The gondola ride and walks were beautiful and their guide made it a fun experience. Overall we had fun and enjoyed Ariel's adventure. We do think going with a Holland America tour would have been more comfortable and curated.

Not very interesting - The driver guide was great but the walking guide was dry and seemed disinterested. Overall, it was not a great activity. Having been in Costa Rica and knowing what it has to offer, this was a boring excursion.
