TripAdvisor Reviews
We took a 5 hour layover tour of Panama, we really enjoyed it. It turned out to be a private tour and our guide Rafael was very knowledgeable giving us the insights of Panama. We got a chance a to see the Big ships moving across Panama Canal. Rafael went about and beyond to give us the best tour of Panama. I would definitely recommend it.
Our round trip transfers with R & E were seamless. I had not used this company before but I plan to deal with them exclusively on future trips to Panama.
Rafeal's tour of Panama was exactly what we were looking for! Our friendly, knowledgeable guide met us on arrival and took us to the main sites of the city. He called ahead to the Canal to see when the boats were coming through and rushed over there first so we could see a freighter going through the locks. We learned so much and it was a very easy day.
