Welcome to the interesting and off the beaten path Guyana. We based ourselves in the centrally located Rima Guesthouse and loved it. As well as touring Georgetown, Sloth Island, Parika and Bartica we also visited the nearby Kaieteur Falls.
Rima Guesthouse is very centrally located in Georgetown along Middle Street. With a bar immediately opposite the guesthouse, it is also close walking distance to the St. George’s Cathedral, Dagron Tours (30 seconds), Fogartys (8 mins), City Hall (12 mins) and Stabroek Market (16 mins). The wifi is reliable and the incredibly warm staff make you feel at home. Run by a local family, there’s a cosy lounge where you can relax or take in a cup of coffee.
Georgetown has a reputation for crime, and the staff were really great about telling us where not to go in the city.
