• Don't sell tours if you can't accompany the guests

  Dagron tours did have the driver accompany us on the tour but literally a driver, not a tour guide. They did have guides at the sites we visited however it would have been nice to understand some of the history and landmarks along the way. Luckily, I had another tour where the guide did this so my questions were answered. Guyana has a long way to go where tourism is concerned. First of all be on time, and honor the time. Everyone seems to want to collect USD but the services are basic. Every meal is chicken and rice. Viator also gave you an option to choose where you'd like Lunch but that was not an option on the day of the tour. Drinks were likely made with local water and nothing else was offered during the meals although the driver did have a cooler on the boat as we hopped from island to island.

• Good guide, poor boat and timekeeping

  This tour offers an opportunity for Guyana visitors to learn more about the historical culture of the area and enjoy a day out. Our guide Eugene was highly knowledgeable and shared it with us at the historical sights. Unfortunately the tour experience itself was not very good. The start time is 6am but they arrived at the meeting poing like 6:15 and only departed 6:45, so already a lot of time wasted. This continued to be a theme throughout the day, when the group was not managed for time effectively and there were times of confusion. The group was completely full at 28 people, so was the old bus and old, battered boat.... which was the worst part of the whole experience. All the inside seats were taken, which left half a dozen guys no choice but to sit on the unsheltered rear deck, getting completely wet for 2 hour bumpy boat ride. There were a couple of vocal customers which did not help the mood. The Sloth island option was also unavailable for reasons not explained, and the resort was nothing to get excited about. At the end I was offered to be dropped off at my hotel as it was on the way, a pleasant surprise, so I did not need to worry about security if I had to wait for a taxi in the dark downtown streets.

• Too long and boring

  A long bumpy ride on a boat with only one interesting stop at the fort. Otherwise it is a 90 minute boat ride to swim at a hotel pool near the river and walk to a small waterfall. Agencies should construct a shorter, interesting tour. Do not recommend to anyone that has been on any of the rivers in the Amazon basin; you will be bored and disappointed.

  The Essequibo tour was fantastic from start to finish. Eugene was an excellent guide—super knowledgeable, engaging, and always going the extra mile to ensure we enjoyed every moment. Truly a memorable experience!

  We had a great time and got a lot of information about the places we visited but the most important we were impressed by our guide . We overslept and did not appear at the pick up point at the certain time and almost lost our tour yet the tour guide came to get us from the hotel. We are so appreciate for the kindness and understanding and wish your company all the best !
