One of my favorite day trips in Panama - One of my favorite day trips in Panamá! Alex is very knowledgeable about the area and great at his job. He had the monkeys eating out of the palms of our hands in within minutes, many other tours who offer the same service waited much longer. We got up close and personal with 2 of the 3 different species of monkeys. One even got curious and started playing with my girl's hair.
I absolutely recommend that you book this tour. Get the more expensive version where he picks you up and drops you off at a nearby hotel of your choosing. Absolutely worth it since you won't find any Ubers to drop you back off in the city.

Awesome - Tour was amazing. Alex our tour guide was on time, had much knowledge, and gave great energy throughout the entire excursion. The boat ride on the canal was everything i expected to be very beautiful and relaxing. Seeing the monkeys on the boat ride was an awesome experience and the hike was really nice getting to see monkeys and even a sloth.

Fantastic Gamboa lake and jungle exploration. Alex was an enthusiastic guide for our trip. Found us monkeys and sloths. - Alex was a fantastic guide. Picked us up at our hotel and we had a smooth drive to Gamboa lake. He provided great info about points of interest along the way including a quick stop to see a sloth. The lake trip was a blast passing several ships transiting the canal. We saw the three species of monkeys, one that came right down to the boat. Also saw some other flora and fauna. Then we headed inland a bit for an hour walk/hike. Before the walk we had a quick stop for some liquids and baño. On the walk Alex pointed out many natural point of interest. All in all it was a great outing.
