Beautiful historic architecture

Herbert_L, Apr 2026
Wonderful, charming guide. Knowledgeable. Good dude. Also, helped me find local produce. Very interesting life story

Good tour for a first timer

We had a group of three. Our driver was extremely informative! We learned about the surroundings of the fort, local religious communities and visited a market. The only reason why I didn't give 5 stars because there just isn't that much to see in Paramaribo. The UNESCO worl heritage buildings were mainly seen from the car windows but you can see them also easily by foot. During this tour, however, you will learn to understand the basics of Suriname, it's history and versatility.

Nice way to see the city

A very flexible and patient guide! A simple city tour, with visits to the fort, presidential palace, places of worship for 4 religions, and a wealthy neighborhood

Simple tour is good for the price

Matthew_J, Jun 2022
This is a simple tour that is very cheap. I appreciated the mix of activities. We spent a long time at Fort Zeelandia. We also drove around a fair amount just to see the city without necessarily having specific stops. If I went to Paramaribo again, I would probably splurge for a more elaborate tour with some boating and/or time out in the rainforest. However, for the price point, this tour was quite good.

Immerse yourself in a fascinating history and culture!

This highly recommended tour of Paramaribo has illustrated Suriname’s eventful colonial past (formerly Dutch Guiana) and also introduced us to the country’s fascinating, colorful culture. The multifaceted beauty of Suriname and the great hospitality of its inhabitants must be experienced!
