Summary:
An excellent tour by an excellent tour company. The office staff were super friendly, helpful, and reliable - 5 stars for them!
The city tour by Chafiht was great as well. Instead of just reciting dates, he provided great context about WHY things happened and why they are as they are today. I learned a lot about the history of the interesting city of Parbo.

Summary:
Orange Travel is a well-organized company with good tour guides. I did 3 day tours with them and all of them went smoothly. The Joden Savanne tour with Tony was awesome and Tony did a great job of explaining everything. I did the Paramaribo City Tour with Elton, who was very personable and fun. On my last day I did the Brownsberg tour with Gio. The hike to the waterfall was long, but certainly worth it. Overall, I was very satisfied with my experience and would recommend the company to anybody looking for day tours while in Suriname.
