Great Puerto Limon experience with Your Lucky Tour

[Kirsten T]

We booked in advance with Your Lucky Tour for our March Zuiderdam cruise. This was 2 weeks ago and we did dock in Costo Rica; we ended up having a private tour with Eduardo and our driver, Alexander. We did the Tortuguero Canal with lunch tour and it was fabulous. Eduardo is really responsive to email, and was waiting exactly where he said he'd be with a sign with my name. The minivan was air conditioned and very comfortable. We started by driving along the coast to the canals, and had a small boat to ourselves with an excellent guide. He got us within feet of a 3-toed sloth, monkeys, iguanas, egrets and other beautiful birds and gave us a lot of great information on the canals and the general area. Next we had a drive through the countryside to a fruit stand. Many locals were stopping buy to get fresh boiled corn, which they were cooking on a wood fire at the front of the stand. Very cool! Then we had lunch at The Red Snapper, an open air restaurant overlooking the harbor. The made us really refreshing fruit and ice drinks - we chose watermelon and pineapple, both delicious. We had chicken, fried plantains and rice and beans, all terrific. Then we stopped at a local grocery to buy coffee, which was amazingly cheap. Eduardo suggested using a credit card to avoid getting change in local currency. Then he dropped us back at the terminal in plenty of time. This was an excellent tour, and both Eduardo and Alexander were friendly, caring and very professional while still treating us like family. They are great hosts and can tell you a lot about life in Costa Rica as well as showing the natural beauty and tourist sites. This was far less expensive than a ship excursion and we got much more personal attention. I can't recommend Eduardo highly enough - I hope to do a different tour with him next time!
