Kendall and Darryl did a very good tour of Limon. They were knowledgeable and we learned a lot about the history and culture. The city itself does not have a lot of sights but the tour highlighted what there is to see.

Daryll and his older brother were our walking tour guides and they arrived 5 minutes late, so not a great start. They were very personable and are well-known members of the Jamaican community.
My main complaint is that the tour lasted for almost 3 hours instead of the 2 hours listed in the experience description. The brothers loved to talk, rather than to walk and show off the sites.
In hindsight, I might not have done this particular outing.

Thank you very much for taking the time to share your feedback with us.
We’re sorry to hear that this experience did not meet your expectations and that it wasn’t a 5-star experience, as most of our reviews usually are. We truly value all comments, as they help us continue improving.
Daryll and his brother are well-known, professional, and very friendly members of the Caribbean community. They are a clear representation of Costa Rican hospitality and the vibrant culture of the Caribbean, and we recognize the dedication and effort they put into every tour.
That said, we understand your concern regarding timing and pacing. While some guests enjoy longer, conversation-rich walks, we acknowledge that the experience should align closely with what is described. Your comment has been noted, and we will take it into account to better balance storytelling, walking time, and overall tour duration in the future.
Thank you again for your honest review. We hope you’ll consider giving us another opportunity in the future.
