Omer arranged multiple tours for us and all were outstanding. Daniel was our tour guide and helped translate in the village we visited. I highly recommend this experience to see a different side of Panama and learn their history and culture.

An excellent tour from Panama City to the Emberá Tribe. The experience was well organized and truly memorable. Our guide was outstanding — very knowledgeable, professional, and spoke excellent English. He explained the culture, history, and surroundings clearly and with passion, which made the visit even more meaningful. Highly recommended for anyone looking for an authentic and enriching day trip.

We had an absolutely wonderful experience with Omer! He offers not only excellent guidance for various trips but also a stunning apartment for rent. The place was beautiful, clean, and comfortable. The neighborhood is quiet, safe, and pleasant to walk around—even at night. Omer is available at any hour, and his team is fantastic. We truly recommend spending a week with Omer—you won’t regret it

MAGICAL DAY! We wanted an authentic adventure, and we got that and so much more. It was the perfect family day (our 7 year old daughter had an absolute blast). Just the right amount of trekking, swimming, canoeing, and spending time with the tribe. The hospitality and professionalism with Omar was truly exceptional. We hope to explore the rest of Panama with Riko Tours.
