This was a perfect side trip to our stay in the city. Claudio picked us up at the hotel on time, gave us some interesting history of Panama on the ride out to the boat and got the monkeys to eat out of our hands! It was the right amount of time and with the right guide. Can’t recommend it enough.

The worst tour guide we even tried to use. Wasting time and creates disappointments. It is not ok to offer a tour when the guide knows they are not able to do the trip because everything is closed because of COVID. Please, just don`t offer the trip until you guys are able to fulfill your job for the money your customers have already paid. We would have waited at the pickup point, 10 km away from the place where we live. Luckywise we tried to contact the guide to change the pickup place, that's when he told us we should cancel the trip. If we wouldn´t have contacted him, who knows we still might wait on the agreed pick-up place :-(. Never ever again! Frank

Captain Nano was very laid-back and willing to adjust the tour to our desires. He was very knowledgeable and accommodating. We thoroughly enjoyed our time with him. The meal was delicious and he is a very gracious host! Our driver, Daniel, was wonderful! We even managed to catch up with him later in the day and he told us about the local ruins, and even saw him on the drive back to Panama City. We knew if we needed help he was nearby (we drove ourselves to/from three marina)! They are a great company to work with!
