We took a Carnival cruise to Costa Rica and the Panama Canal. Based on reviews here instead of doing a Carnival excursion in Costa Rica we went with Jorge Ramirez. It was everything we like in a tour; a guide that communicates well, is passionate and knowledgeable about his city, is safe and dependable, and charges a reasonable price. There were several options but we went with the Tortuguero Canal along with sight seeings and a few stops for fruit and shopping. For the canal tour we had the boat to ourselves. We saw monkeys and sloths. He also took us to a really cool banana plantation that a friend of his is starting and we walked around there for about thirty minutes. We mentioned that we worked for the public schools in the US and he pointed out a few of the schools and colleges that we passed as we drove around. We got back to the ship in plenty of time. Overall it was a great tour and next time we are in Port Limon we will definitely use Jorge again.
