5.00We had a great experience! Saul was our driver. He was on time, waiting for us at the Panama City airport. He was very professional and knowledgeable; giving us some history as we drove through Panana. Our drive to the Riu Playa Blanca was comfortable. The van was clean and air conditioning worked great. Saul spoke both English & Spanish as not everyone in our group speaks Soanish. Highly recommend!
way to good driver way back bad driver

2.00the transfer from the airport to the resort was fine but lot of traffic but the return trip the driver was on his phone most of the trip and no using his hands free. I just retired from being a bus driver and this should not take place when your driving customers we paid for his time and should have gotten better service! unsafe is unsafe!!
Enjoyable ride
