Our guide Luis was great! He was very knowledgeable, it was great to hear about the places that we were visiting, but also history of Panamá in general. He also gave us several recommendations for places to see to round out our trip. Feeding the monkeys was definitely a highlight from the trip! If you are visiting Panamá, this tour is a definite must!!
great tour with Luis

This was a very nice experience the only reason I am giving it a three and not a five is because i was under the impression it was a grouo tour meaning there would be more people. It was just our party. They did pick us up on time and tour guide was nice and patient.
