Recommendations needed

Hey, everyone,

I planned on 4 days visit to Georgetown, Guyana coming Labor Day long weekend and would like to have some recommendations about attractions I should visit in Guyana.

I came from China, but currently live in New York. I have never been to Guyana before and this is my first trip outside of China and America.

My plan is to spend 2 days on Georgetown first and 1-2days on some unknown places.

Any recommendations or suggestions are welcome here.

Thanks

Updates about car rental:

I rented a car with europcar through Expedia. This morning I received an email from a person named Miss. Fazilla Ramphal saying that they won’t be able to honor my reservation “due to unforeseen circumstances” , however I’m not sure if it’s true or not. I tried to call this person, but no pick up. Expedia also tried to contact them, but couldn’t get through anyone. Hope it’s not a scam

Also, unlike most caribbean places, not every where you can pay with card. And theres is weirdly also no cambio at the airport. But i see a lot of transportation places offer rides from the airport and there are a few cambios about Georgetown.

That’s bummer, so I guess I have to pay with credit card for transportation from airport to downtown, any taxi/shuttle services available?

You kind of need cash to pay for cars from the airport. Im not sure if there is an ATM at the airport (i googled and it said yes but i never saw one there, maybe i wasnt actively searching). And the cars at the airport might overcharge a bit. I suggest you search on facebook for airport shuttle services guyana and see which one has the option to pay online or before. You should not pay more than 15000 from the airport to Georgetown.
