5.00We used Junior’s services for transportation from airport to hotel and back, as well as a day trip to Panama City from Playa Blanca. In all cases he was on time, very informative, thoughtful and his van was very clean. I would totally recommend him!
Monkey Island and Panama City

5.00We had two fantastic tours with Junior. Monkey Island - A comfortable and air conditioned van took us to Gamboa Rainforest. It was a 2 hour trip from Grand Decameron. We boarded a boat and had a fanastic tour and did see some monkeys and other wild life. Quite lovely. The boat ride was an extra $30/per person admission. Well worth the drive to see. Our second tour was to Old Panama City and the Canal. Again, 2 hour drive from Grand Decameron in a comfy, cool van. (much needed in the beautiful heat) Old Panama was gorgeous. Thank goodness for Junior and his driving skills, no way I would want to navigate through all that! Be sure to get out and walk Old Panamá, you will not regret. So many picturesque buildings. The Panamá Canal was nice but super busy. Very impressive to see the locks and watch the boat got through. Junior is a fantastic guide, very friendly and super knowledgeable, you will not be disappointed! I will be recommending to anyone who visits Panamá.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Amazing Private Tour with Junior!

5.00We had an incredible experience exploring Panama with our guide, Junior. He provided round-trip transportation from our hotel—which was two hours outside of Panama City—and made the long drive feel easy with his friendly personality and great conversation. Throughout the day, he took us to all the must-see spots, including the Panama sign for photos, the beautiful streets of Casco Viejo, the Amador Causeway, and even timed our visit perfectly so we could watch a barge passing through the Panama Canal. Junior went above and beyond by taking us to the Panama Mall so we could pick up souvenirs, which we truly appreciated. His kindness, knowledge, and genuine passion for what he does made the entire tour feel special. It was such a treat having a private guide who clearly loves his country and enjoys sharing it with others. Highly recommend booking with Junior!
Congratulations

An experience not to be missed in Panama

5.00An experience I recommend 100%. The places are spectacular, you learn too much from history and there is enough time to admire and enjoy every moment. Mauro is a friendly and patient person, in addition to respectful, provides the spaces to have a complete experience and is always willing to solve doubts and share all his knowledge about each place.
Great tour!

5.00Junior was very nice! He picked us up from our hotel in playa blanca. He can customize the tour according to our needs so that we had both monkey island and Panama City tour in one day. We had lots of fun especially in monkey island. Thanks a lot!
