Reviews
The entire experience was made extra special by our guide Roberto. He communicated in advance of the tour to see if we needed anything while in his country, he was prompt to pick us up and had a nice vehicle with snacks and beverages for us. He graciously took pictures and video of us and sent to us afterwards, that was a nice bonus. He was incredibly knowledgeable and friendly - he was the perfect host!
A nice observation was that he wasn't distracted by his phone at all, except to take pictures and video of us. He was completely focused on our group all day.
Next time we're in Panama he will be our first contact for anything outside of our hotel!
