Great Tour Guide, Great Tour

Mike_B, Aug 2025

My wife would give this tour 6 out of 5 stars! First of all, our tour guide Mike H. was punctual, friendly, professional, patient, and INCREDIBLY knowledgeable about everything we saw not only on the drive out to the Embera tour but also the tour itself. Got a lot of info on the neighborhoods we saw along the drive, historic sites, construction projects, public transit options and activities, the significant road networks, and even local schools and churches. Also got preview info on the Panama indigenous tribes and where they’re located. Would highly, highly, highly recommend this tour with him as a guide as a top of the list attraction while visiting the Panama City area. The visit to the falls exceeded expectations. And the visit to the Embera village was also top notch. We found the indigenous tribe to be every bit as authentic as the they were allowed to be. Their strict commitment to their customs and way of life was admirable. So the tour itself was the highlight of our Panamanian vacation. That said, prep instructions for the tour were non-existent for us. There weren’t any instructions on the itinerary, what to wear or bring, and/or what we should be prepared to experience. As a result, we weren’t wearing our swim suits when we should have been. And we weren’t prepared to carry all of our stuff with us, which we ended up having to do, which made the hike to the falls a little more interesting. And we were prepared-ish for the moderate hike through slippery paths, rocky terrace, and streams with sharp rocks and uneven walking surfaces (necessary because of low water levels that may have surprised everyone), but that was only because we were lucky enough to have worn sturdy water shoes. People who were wearing flip flops or slides, older people, and young kids were struggling! They weren’t in our group but we saw them in passing. But be advised that that hike isn’t for everyone, and you don’t know if you have to do it until they park the canoe short of the falls. So be prepared. But if you’re flexible and prepared, get ready for a great experience.
