A great day in Panama City - We booked a private tour for 4 people to Panama City. Camillo came all the way out to the Riu Playa Blanca resort (2 hours away) to pick us up. Communication was great throughout and he was punctual. We got to see the Causeway, Casco Viejo, Panama Canal and then drove around the downtown area to look at the interesting architecture buildings. He then drove us back to the resort. It was a great day, we weren't rushed and he was very flexible in what to do and see. Highly recommend.

Reliable customized enjoyable experience - Camilo is a true gem in Panama, Im so glad that I contacted him in advanced when I was planning my trip with 8 good friends to visit Panama. First of all he is so reliable, with wonderful communication skills and always interested to add value and make our experience the most enjoyable and memorable one. All my friends were coming from different places in the World and different times, he organized to pick each one at the airport ensuring the first impression was the Best one! He also took us to different restaurants in Casco Viejo and made sure we were comfortable, happy and secure all the time. He took us in a private day tour customized to our requests, we had so much fun visiting Causeway, the Biomuseo, shopping beautiful panamanian handcrafted souvenirs, eating ceviche at Mercado del Marisco, and leaving us for a beach experience at the Dreams Playa Bonita! I cannot thank him enough for all his wonderful professionalism making sure we had an incredible experience. Highly recommend his services to anyone visiting Panama 🇵🇦

Amazing tour with a friendly, helpful, FUN Panamanian expert - Booked a one-day tour of Panama City with Camilo. After our original flight was cancelled, we were so lucky that he was able to push our tour out a day. We had a series of issues first thing (canal timing that didn’t line up, spontaneous parade blocking Panama Viejo) but Camilo rolled with it all and we had a lovely day. He was super accommodating and flexible. When my son said he’d love to see a sloth, Camilo literally texted a bunch of friends and asked where our best chances were. When we mentioned we wanted to go to the fish market for dinner after our tour, he went out of his way to show us the best/safest way to get there. His rates were also really reasonable. After such custom service, it’s hard to imagine paying more for a big tour bus with much less flexibility. Thank you Camilo!

Smooth from end to end - It was my first visit to Panama and because of Camilo's great review on Tripadvisor, I decided to have him arrange everything for my trip, from airport pick-up to all the excursions, and airport drop-off. Everything was smooth from the beginning. Camillo is high responsive on email, later on Whatsapp. We went to all places together and with his fluent English, he explained to me what I don't think I can get from the Internet. In short, I strongly recommend Camilo for anyone visiting Panama.

Great introduction to Panama - My wife and I booked both a transfer from the airport to our hotel and a tour the following day. Unfortunately, the flight to Panama City for which we had tickets could not be met due to the airline being unable to make the scheduled connecting flight. Camilo was excellent with regard to his flexibility and his speedy response to our necessary changes. We lost a day of our planned stay in Panama City and feared we would not get to see much of the city as we had to get to Colon the next day. Amazingly, Camilo was able to combine a great tour of Panama City, including Casco Viejo, with lunch at one of his favorite restaurants and subsequent drive to Colon and brief tour of that city. Without Camilo we would have missed a great deal of the sights in Panama. Highly recommended!!!

We had a 12 hour layover... - We had a 12 hour layover in Panama. Mario met us at the airport, showed us around all the sights of Panama City. He was very informative and personable. Absolutely worth the expense if you have a stopover, or staying longer in Panama.

Camilo is the only person you will need, whether for airport pick up for full day. - If you come to Panama and don't use Camilo you will miss out on an exceptional guide. I contacted 10 companies and attached an itinerary of information I had found on what to do on a tour. Half didn't respond. The rest just sent their pricing. Camilo actually read my attachment and responded with pointers and suggestions. Up until our first tour (I booked Camilo for 2 days 5 hours per day), Camilo was communicative and quick to respond. Oh, and Camilo speaks English better than most Americans. He had mapped out the places I had said I would like to visit. Camilo was able to provide information on Panama, great conversation, and always able to answer questions, making the drive informative and pleasant. I felt secure having Camilo with me in any shops and places we visited. I didn't want just the usual "touristy" items. And I wanted to make sure things were really from Panama's indigenous people. Even when we went to the Canal, Camilo provided a thorough history and set a picture of everything we would see. He kept abreast of the time for the first ship to pass so we didn't waste unnecessary time. Exceptional service and a stand out even for the most experienced traveler. Camilo listened to what we would like and then went above and beyond to exceed what we asked.

Fuerta Amador...Horrid Experience. Worst we've had worldwide. - Told by the taxi dispatcher at the cruiseline port in Fuerta Amador a certain price for a tour of the city. The cab driver (who ended up speaking no English, doubled the price. His boss told him not to. Regardless, he followed us into a restaurant demanding $40, which we had already paid. Then he tried to raise it to $60 and yelled "policia" when I objected. Not wanting to cause a scene, I had to go to an ATM and get the cash demanded, even though we were told by the dispatcher that he took credit cards. As far as the "tour," the guy took us through the ghetto to a closed church that he said was open. Upon return and talking to his boss, who acted surprised, there was no resolution as the taxi driver had left. DO NOT TAKE THE TAXI TOURS FROM THE PEOPLE MEETING THE CRUISELINES AT THE PORTS, specifically the port at Fuerta Amador. We've cruised all over the world. Panama, in our experience, Has NO redeeming qualities. None. Apparently, we weren't the only ones in "situations." Most passengers returned to the shop early.
