Giovanny and Didier

Our trip was a success due to a big part to our tour guide, Giovanny, and our bus driver, Didier.

Didier maneuvered the steep gravel mountain roads, the narrow streets, and the busy traffic of San José. He also had a sharp eye and could spot wildlife as he was driving. We had some extra photo opportunities because of him.

Giovanny was an absolutely fantastic tour guide. First of all, he was very knowledgeable about plant and animal life, about Costa Rica's history, about the towns and villages, and about the culture of Costa Rica. He was always prepared to answer any questions we had for him.

It was evident that Giovanny wanted to make our experience in Costa Rica the best it could possibly be. I was hoping my group would have the opportunity to go white water rafting and Giovanny made that come true. He also made the arrangements for the crocodile tour, another bonus that made our trip even more interesting.

He did an excellent job of keeping track of our group, suggesting places to eat, asking us if we had all our belongings, and watching our bags as we spent the day on the beach.

But most importantly, Giovanny is a kind and caring person. Everyone in our group enjoyed our time with Giovanny! He joined our group dancing at the club, sat with us to watch the World Cup game with Costa Rica and Greece, and treated us to different snacks and specialty foods of Costa Rica. He is an overall great person and we will miss not seeing his smile and hearing his laugh.

Gracias Giovanny y Didier!
