Fun tour, great value

This tour was fun and it was a great value. Four parts: driving tour, boating around the islands looking for animals, stopping for a snack, and then a jungle walk. Enrique was informative and entertaining and we saw LOTs of animals even a sloth. Good for all ages.

Best private tour

One of the best excursions we did on our Panama Canal Cruise. Ruben was the BEST. We really enjoyed his knowledge of Panama City. I would love to come back and just spend a few days here. I highly recommend this tour and it is a great cruise ship excursion without going through all the nonsense of a cruise line excursion.

Best Experience In Panama‼️

This was the most amazing experience that I could even imagine. Do you wanna talk about value for your money!? This was incredible. The hours truly went by faster than we wanted. We could have enjoyed this all day. Our driver Orlando and our tour guide Robert were the most amazing people ever! SO attentive & helpful, even with photos, which meant so much to me as a single mom traveling with my 5 year old. my kid was all smiles from the very beginning. The atmosphere of the village and overall experience was absolutely priceless. The people of the village were so kind, and the beauty of it all made me never want to leave. I recommend this to anyone wanting to have a true cultural experience while visiting this astounding Country of Panama. We will definitely be back. Thank you so much to Robert & Orlando For making this unforgettable‼️💯🙏🏼

My wife and I had a great...

My wife and I had a great time. The experience allowed us to explore a different side of Panama City and connect with new people. The clubs were nice, but we were surprised by the music selection. We expected to hear more local music, yet much of what was played was hip-hop and rap from Atlanta and New York. Still, we enjoyed visiting five different spots and had a wonderful experience overall.
