Unique Tours in Manta

From Manta to Montecristi : Market, Straw Toquilla and Living Culture

Excellent tour, worth the price paid and fantastic tour guide

What a wonderful experience. My husband and I took this tour of Manta's fish market, downtown Manta and Monte Cristi for a morning adventure. We couldn't have been more pleased with the experience and knowledge of our tour guide, Jose, who was absolutely wonderful. He took us everywhere we wanted to go and explained all the sights for us including the history of the world famous Panama hats. He took really nice pictures of us too so we would have these memories to cherish forever. He also pointed us in the direction of a really nice local restaurant to have fresh, local food for lunch. I highly recommend this tour if you get a chance to take it. You won't be disappointed!

Pacoche Hiking Tour

Must do experience

Don’t usually leave a review on executions but needed to take the time to write this. This tour is amazing and well worth them money. We couldn’t believe how much we did during the day and just how fun it was. We came from the cruise ship and our guide was waiting for us with a sign with my name it, nice and easy. He then got us in the car and took us to the Pacoche rainforest where we met a local that lived in there. We took a private path in the rainforest away from the busy tourist areas. Our guide translated everything to English and it was so interesting listening to what was being said while learning about he area. We saw the howler monkeys and watched them for a bit, definitely a highlight. We ate fresh fruit, went to a authentic hat making shop (they were not pushing to buy/ a tourist trap), got lunch (delicious and cheap), saw beaches and went to a authentic chocolate making shop with an small, authentic chocolate making factory (again not a tourist trap). Our guide, Antoni, was amazing he was informative, answered all questions and was a genuine fun guy. The driver, Ronald didn’t speak any English but still Antoni was translating even tho he wasn’t talking to us which is a nice touch. Honestly a great experience and would recommend. A must do experience.

Half Day City Tour in Manta and Montecristi Landmarks

Wonderful tour of Manta and Montecristi

This tour was quite interesting of Manta, the “tuna” capital, but the best part was visiting the hat museum in Montecristi where we were able to learn and see the making of a Panama hat- very informative and what an art! We were also able to tour Casa Rosada where we also had coffee and the best empanadas!
