Exclusive Cruise Shore Excursion City and Canal Tour

Amazing tour!

This tour is very worth the time! Richard was great! Took us places of interest to us, explained local culture and history and made sure we did everything we wanted to see. He was also able to tell us about medicinal plants. Our boat captain, Venton, made sure we saw monkeys, sloths and a cayman. He was very knowledgeable about the birds and wildlife. Overall an amazing tour.
