Adapted day trip to Valle de Antón - I did a day trip to Valle de Antón with Panama Your Way, guided by Aldo, and it was a wonderful experience — even though the day didn’t go exactly as planned.
We initially planned to hike La India Dormida, but unfortunately I wasn’t feeling well that day and my body just wasn’t able to make the climb. Aldo was incredibly kind, patient, and understanding. Instead of pushing the original plan, we calmly discussed alternatives and came up with a new itinerary that suited my health and energy level perfectly.
We visited Chorro del Macho, where we spent time resting and enjoying the natural swimming pools — a beautiful and peaceful way to connect with nature. After that, we stopped at the local market to try some delicious, typical mango, and then headed to the beach to enjoy a great fried fish andA relax in the sun.
The day felt balanced, unrushed, and thoughtfully adapted. Aldo was the perfect guide: attentive, flexible, and genuinely focused on making sure I felt comfortable and still had a great experience.
That’s exactly what you want in a guide — someone who makes the best out of any situation and truly cares about your well-being. I will definitely hire Aldo again and highly recommend him.

An unforgettable adventure in the heart of nature - Visiting the butterfly sanctuary, taking a walk through the jungle to swim at the foot of a waterfall, and discovering the charming village of the Anton Valley were just perfect. Our guide, Edwing, shared with us the fascinating history of this place. An unforgettable day!

All day Panamanian tour, including monkey Island, the sloth, sanctuary, and the national park. - Gabriel was an amazing tour guide. He was able to relate many facts to us about the Panamanian culture and country. He was very attentive to the people in our group.

Honest, prompt and good company! - Great company! Fast replies. We had to cancel a trip a few days before and they refunded all the amount, no problem. Our guide, Levy picked us up promptly at our hotel and we stopped as needed for bathroom breaks. Levy had lots of cold water, much appreciated because we found it very hot. We weren't able to complete the India Dormida hike because of ages (71) and heat, but no problem. About 2 hours each way Panama City -Anton de Valle - Panama City

El Valle - our guide, Enrique, was extremely knowledgable, helpful and fun! Having a private, customizable tour made it so much easier and relaxing to see the sites at our own pace. El Valle is absolutely gorgeous. Danny organized everything and was super responsive when booking. Really happy with every aspect of this tour.

Did not meet... - Did not meet expectations. The tour was to expensive for what was offer. To mush driving to see a butterfly's garden, a visitor center and a local market. The tour director was the best, very knowledgeable. Aldo know his job.
