Wonderful tour in Panama City - First of all our tour guide Rafael was so knowledgeable and friendly. We have little kids in the family and he understood our needs of timing flexibility. The private tour was wonderful where in one day we saw 3 types of monkeys, a crocodile (we did not expect to see), butterflies and sloths. We recommend this tour to everyone who visits Panama City.

An exciting tour at a very reasonable price. If you love history, nature or just fun, make this part of your Panama City - This tour is a must if you’re ever visiting Panama. Rafael showed up right in time at my hotel and then we were off to the adventure. He explained the history behind the city, Panama canal, several historical and geographical sites. It was suppppper fun!!! I Got to see the monkeys up close, iguanas. The breeze of the lake was also very relaxing when traveling by boat. TLdR: very reasonable price for an exciting experience. Get the ticket!!

Wonderful experience - Got to see and feed the monkeys. Recommend to go early before they have eaten. Unfortunately, sloth sanctuary was closed.

The best service in Panama. - The service they provided was exceptional, the experience they provided from the reservation to the closing of the tour is impressive, the tour was carried out without any inconvenience, being private they are super flexible since it was a group with elderly people, The expert guide impressed and the services had no complaints. If you want to know this natural part of Panama, do not hesitate to take this excursion.
