I had a great time. The drivers were courteous and polite.

Very well planned with excellent guides, drivers and comfortable transport. Communication with tour company easy and questions and concerns were answered immediately. Itineraries were sent and accurate. I have only one wish, to have a longer trip to experience more of the forests .

Would not recommend! Booked a transfer Paramaribo to Georgetown. Crammed like sardines into a tiny minibus along with any extra cargo the driver could take to make more money. He drove like a maniac, had music blasting constantly from 4.30am and didn't even stop for a quick bathroom break in nearly 4 hours. The seatbelts did not work. Once we arrived at the border/ferry we were given no information on what to do, where to meet him afterwards etc. I am well travelled and appreciate we are not in Europe, however we paid $75 each for this terrible transfer. We met other travellers at the border who only paid $50 for the same journey in a car where apparently the driver was careful and they had seatbelts. My advice would be to source an alternative transfer once you arrive in Paramaribo.

The overland transfer Paramaribo - Georgetown was a very smooth trip. The driver contacted me a day ahead by whatsapp and called again 20 minutes before arriving at pickup. I left at 4.35am in a car with five (including driver), arrived in South Drain around 8.45am. Performing check-in procedures and leaving Suriname took around one hour, boat left 20 minutes late (around 150 people on board, almost only locals). Boat ride was some 25 minutes to Molson Creek, Guyana immigration took another 15. To identify the onward driver there were two easy measures: I had received the name of the onward driver, and this driver had a picture of me on his phone (sent by the driver of the Suriname stretch). Bus of 12 (including driver) was full after ten minutes and we left around 11.15. One small stop halfway to buy some food and drinks and arrived around 3pm in my Georgetown hotel. Easy transfer, worth the money.

We visited all three of the Guianas. The capital cities are different in architectural styles, with some historical sites. However, in themselves the cities are probably not worth the trip. The main attraction of the countries is the jungle, which we chose to visit in Suriname. We had a couple of days at Knini Paati and five at Kabalebo. Both sites were very good and provided lots of opportunities to see wildlife. The staff at both sites were excellent. The only negative of the trip was the performance of the tour company Travel The Guianas. The trip program was changed without any notification or communication and caused us some problems. We had no real issue with changing the itinerary, we can be flexible. However, the lack of communication and organization over the course of the trip was annoying, frustrating and detracted from the trip. I would not recommend using their services.
