This was such a great tour and Horacio was a phenomenal guide. He took care of everything and helped us understand the history and highlights of Panama. He was flexible with unexpected adjustments to our tour time and so great to work with. Would absolutely recommend him and if we ever go back we will for sure use him for other tours.

Horacio was an excellent guide! He made arrangements for us to take a covered motorboat on Gatun Lake to spot some of the native rainforest animals. He has an amazing eye, and we were able to get some excellent photos of 3 different species of monkeys, some huge iguana, a crocodile and a caiman. Of course I didn’t spot any of these, and would have completely missed the show right in front of me. After the little water safari, we visited the canal with perfect timing to watch a huge ship entering and passing through one of the locks on its way into the Pacific. It was a great experience, and highly recommended!

We had an AMAZING day with Horacio! We loved all the sights he took us to see in Panama. Horacio was so easy to communicate with and he happily picked us up at the ‘new’ cruise port. He adjusted our ‘tour route’ to fit best with local traffic etc
.We really appreciated that! Horacio was amazing on the boat tour to ‘Monkey Island’ and he was very determined to find us the 3 types of monkeys, a sloth and a beautiful rainbow toucan! Huh was also very flexible in letting us determine what things we wanted to see most during our ‘day’ in Panama! Thanks for such great memories Horacio!

Amazing! Horacio graciously worked with our schedule, engaged with our children, and made sure we could see everything! Given our limited time, he clearly had all his contacts lined up to give us experiences we couldn't possibly have had on our own. Highly, highly recommend.
