Friends of The Barn in Basel: visits Costa Rica - Excellent tour led by Kimberly and driver Luis. Wonderful exploration of a country unknown to us. Our guide Kimberly was great and brought us right into the fauna and flora of Costa Rica!

Private Tortuguero Canals Tour and Puerto Limon Highlights - Excellent Tour - We met our guide (Christian) right at the cruise port. Our group of 6 had a private tour for the day and were transported in really nice "like new" air conditioned vehicles. Our first stop was the Tortuguero Canal for some nature sightseeing where we saw several sloths, several small crocodiles, a caiman, a basilisk lizard, and a family of monkeys, along with a few hawks and many other birds. We toured a banana plantation where Christian explained the banana harvesting process and introduced us to many other plants and flowers that are found in Costa Rica. We took a scenic overview tour of the port city of Limón. We had lunch (not included in price) at a local restaurant located right on the beach where to paraphrase the song "we got our toes in the water, azz in the sand, not a worry in the world with cold beers in our hands". All said and done, this was a great tour and a nice introduction to Costa Rica, which is a place where we would definitely love to return to in the not too distant future! As they say in Costa Rica - "pura vida!"

City Tour and canals - It was an amazing experience, we did the city tour and canals with Risheylin and Alcides. We never experienced such a professional guided tour beforehand.

Costa Rican Start of our vacation!! - This trip was great for families. Our tour guide Kendrick made sure of it, ensuring they saw animals l, recommending great good, and having a fun experience at the beach. Because the tour was private we were able to adjust to our speed as compared to group tours this was an extra benefit. Kendrick was knowledgeable about the area and what we would be seeing. I felt he went above and beyond for a personal experience. Would highly recommend booking this tour out of Puerto Limon, Costa Rica.

Great tour guides - Great tour. Great tour guides. We saw a banana plantation and a beautiful beach, the water was a bit dangerous with the current, but it was really beautiful. There is a life guard on the beach

Easy and Relaxed Tour - The tour guide was great and tried so hard to see animals that we could view. Unfortunately, there was not much to see .....but we had a nice afternoon. Everything was very organized....A pleasant outing.
