Richard was great! - Richard was my guide and he was great. Personable, knowledgeable, patient and accommodating. Was as much a history teacher as he was a guide. I don’t think I would have done better with any else.

Panama Essentials - The tour started early in the morning which a must have given the hot weather in Panama. The guide (Luis) was polite and courteous with plenty of knowledge and ability to explain everything in a nice and smooth way. The car was clean and neat.
I rate this tour very highly as you can gain a lot of knowledge and complete the list sees of the country in a span of 4-5 hours. I recommend anyone traveling to Canada with a open agenda to start with this tour as it can help you plan better the activities you might have as there’s plenty of things to be done with the Canal transit being a non negotiable activity.
