    Mario was absolutely amazing from picking me up at the airport to sharing so much information about the history and culture of Panama. The best part was Mario's sincere thoughtfulness throughout the three tours he led for me.

    Our guide picked us up right on time and he was full of information and energy. We enjoyed about ⅔ of a very lovely walk before we were caught in torrential rain. As it was a hike up the hill and back down, it didn’t make sense to turn around (it wouldn’t have made us any drier!) so we continued to the top. Obviously there was nothing to see from up there in the rain. So I can’t speak to the view as we did not experience that. I gave this 4 stars because I wish the guide had brought water along. We were all thirsty after the long walk…

    Mario was a very attentive and engaging guide. His love of Panama shines through. After our walk up Anton Hill and around part of the Canal Zone, I feel I understand Panama’s history a little better. We were lucky enough to see two sloths and some tamarind monkeys. Views well worth the uphill walk (but it’s slow and gentle).

    Javier took us on a lovely hike of Ancon Hill. He gave us so much information on the history of Panama, no question was too much for him! We had a lovely cool morning hike and saw lots of tamarin monkeys, frogs, vultures, wood peckers, agoutis. Javier was so professional and a joy to spend a few hours with getting to know each other. We had lots of laughs and couldn't recommend him more. He took things at our pace and showed us so many amazing things. Communication was seamless, pick up was on time and everything went smoothly. You won't regret booking any tour with this company 💙

    Mario was great. He was on time and communicated with us the night before and in the morning. He is very friendly and enthusiastic. He was very hospitable and packed extra water for us so we were able to drink it on the trip. It was more than just a hike but also a history lesson. He also found a nice area to take photos of us. His car was clean and it was a nice ride. Definitely a good experience if you want to see amazing views of Panama City!
