Panama highlights

Nancy_O, Feb 2026
Jeny our guide was awesome and Brian our driver was great. The city tour was quick as we were all super hot! A better bathroom stop with more than one bano would be better. Also can the tickets for the IMAX be bought ahead of time so once we are there the group can be seated together? The admission price can be added to the tour price .

We had a fantastic day with Jesus our tour guide. It was a small group with 8 people. Jesus our tour guide was awesome. He provided a lot of great information about the nature and the animals, but also about the country, the economy, the people etc. It was an enjoyable day – thank you for such a great experience!

Great Caribbean Highlights Tour from Limon

Jesus was the best. Friendly, knowledgeable and very personable. We never felt rushed. Jesus had us to stop for great photo ops, etc.

Diferentes miradas de Limón

carol, Feb 2023
Recorrido en lancha en Tortuguero, playa Bonita. El detalle de Gerardo de convidarnos con cacao. Que Gerardo recuerde que habíamos 2 excursionistas que hablábamos español. Habló mucho para las personas de habla inglesa y poco en español

Response from Host, Feb 2023

Estimada carol, Muchas gracias por tomarse su tiempo para escribirnos este comentario! Nuestros guias efectivamente son bilingües, sin embargo, entendemos por su comentario que la mayoría del tour fue brindado en su mayoría en inglés. Hemos hablado con nuestros guías y nos aseguraremos que en el futuro cuando tengamos clientes de distintas lenguas el tour sea dado de forma equitativa. Le deseamos un feliz resto de sus vacaciones y si decide volver a Costa Rica háganoslo saber y le enseñaremos el resto de nuestro hermoso país.

super!!

Barbara_B, Nov 2019
dieser Ausflug ist sein Geld Wert. Unser Reiseleiter Jesus hat sich sehr viel Mühe gegeben, dass wir so viele Tiere wie möglich sehen konnten.
