    I absolutely loved my private tour. I feel that I really got a chance to see and experience Panamá. As much as I enjoy group tours, what I liked most was that we were able to proceed with the tour based on a pace that was comfortable to me and where I was able to ask additional questions.

    Our guide Esteban was simply the best. He went out of his way to be helpful and adjust our tour to suit our needs. He is very knowledgeable, friendly and sincerely enjoys his job. This makes it enjoyable for us to. He went beyond the call of duty for us. We recommend him 100%.

    The tour was excellent! The guide Caesar was wonderful. Very kind, polite and considerate. He explained all the details about the places we passed and answered many questions we had, and even stopped at special places to take pictures. The car was super clean. Anyway, we recommend the tour with César!!
