Wonderful tour, friendly tour guide operator Evelyn & driver Mario. Visited the city, went for a crocodile boat tour that was awesome, saw the Macaw bird, many beautiful flowers. Had a great day.

Luis and Marvin were an excellent tour guide and driver. Marvin enjoyed the monkeys and parrots as much as we did that day. It was beautiful to see the scarlet macaws flying as pairs through the sky and they are very noisy.
As for the crocodiles we saw, wow, you just don’t realize how big they are until you get up close. The guide on the tour boat was very well informed about the birds and plants growing in this area. We both felt safe at each site visited. Luis shared some local culture with us and talked about the annual fruit festival. Overall a great adventure.

We saw more crocodiles than I expected...one even made a full circle near the boat for us! I would have appreciated it if our guide (Luis) had warned me that the monkeys at the Monkey House would be jumping onto me before he led me into their area. Luckily, I like monkeys but this would have been a terrifying experience had I been afraid of them. I felt badly that our driver had to drive some distance to reach us when there were only two of us on the tour. Both he (Willy) and Luis were very good about helping my husband get in and out of the van.
