5.00John is very knowledgeable and intelligent. He’s a good hiker who’s attentive to people’s needs while also being on the look out for wildlife. He is also an excellent driver, a quality that shouldn’t be undervalued in a guide in Panama City! 😎
If you want to see something beyond the usual Panama tour.....

5.00There are your standard tours of Panama such as various Panama Canal excursions or islands like San Blas. We certainly did several of those tours and we highly recommend them. If you want to get off the standard tourist track and see everyday Panama, we can't recommend this tour highly enough. John went above and beyond to make this a very special day. Given the limited hours that the Biodiversity Museum was open only on weekends due to the pandemic, this day was really our only opportunity to visit the museum. John not only heartily endorsed the idea, started our day earlier, but even purchased us tickets to the museum. He was even willing to wait a couple hours while we toured the museum but we declined that offer and took an Uber. We enjoyed sunrise from a beautiful vista, had a great breakfast that he prepared, enjoyed a wonderful hike in the rainforest, then headed to a beach with Panamanians and not tourists. It was a great slice of typical Panamanian life with an incredible attention to detail. Don't miss this tour.
All the ingredients to make some real memories !!

5.00We felt honored to be this company's first tour since Covid! Juan and Joel were very accommodating; they thought of everything from snacks to bug spray that could have possibly made us more comfortable. The tour itself was a unique and breathtaking experience. If you like exploring nature and want a more authentic feel of Panama, this is for you.
