Perfect trip, excellent service - This was my best experience in Panama. I was lucky that I was the only guest on the given day, but Gino did not cancell the trip and delived it as planned. Thanks! All aspects worked perfectly. The boat ride brought us close to large container ships, and also the monkeys were present. The sceneries are really nice.

Natural magic. - Diener was a wonderful tour guide. From pick up to drop off he went out of his way to make sure we spotted wildlife well after the ‘official’ tour. Monkeys came down to greet us, the Gamboa hotel view was breathtaking. The butterfly, frog and sloth sanctuaries remarkable. Diener spotted more rare birds on our way back. It’s clear he loves sharing the beauty of Panama and that comes through so clearly. A beautiful and unforgettable experience.

Our tour guy picked us up from our hotel and Gave us a very informative and detailed history breakdown of Panamá and the different areas of Panama, on the way to the monkey tour. We felt extremely safe the entire time.

Fun adventure to see... - Fun adventure to see nature and the ships in the canal. My your boat only had 3 guests which felt like a better experience than the boats that were packed full. Tour guide, Oscar, was fabulous!

Multiple last-minute... - Multiple last-minute changes to the pickup location (three different meeting points in total). The final change was sent only 1.5 hours before departure. We took an Uber to the last provided location, but no one was there and the mall was still closed. As a result, we were unable to join the tour, yet we were still charged the full amount and marked as a no-show. All communication is documented in the Viator message history. Very disappointing experience.
