    We had an interesting and informative tour and were very happy with the arrangements. We were greeted by our tour guide just outside the port and the tour departed on time. We followed the proposed itinerary and feel that we learned a lot about many aspects of the Costa Rican culture, economy and daily life. Our guide and driver were flexible in little ways that made the day most enjoyable and fun for the whole group. We would definitely recommend this tour.

    We booked this tour outside our cruise ship excursions. I think we saved money, but the real point is that the tour was small, personal and easy going. The guide, whose name was (I think) Stephen, was terrific. Personable, informative, in love with the countryside, full of jokes, and very, very knowledgeable about the flora and fauna of Costa Rica. We could not be more pleased with our choice and would recommend anyone coming off a cruise ship in Lemon (not the most attractive town) to book a trip into the countryside with Greenway. The boat ride on the canal was the best part with lots of sloths in the trees and birds flying about.
