This tour is truly as advertised and more ! The name of this tour is Private tour of Panama City; Mario is an excellent personal Tour Guide who is passionate and really knows his history. He also hadapts to his customers needs and physical conditions. We also had the pleasure to be driven around by Diego who is very relaxed and patient! Thank you so much to both of you, you made our experience unforgettable!
Mario is a remarkable tour operator, we learnt so much about Panama during our tour at the end we felt like family. Mario is very welcoming, kind, courteous, patient, knowledgeable, and an exceptional great driver, his vehicle is immaculately clean and he without a doubt took very good care of us. My husband and I are looking forward to visiting Panama again soon and without a doubt we will be utilizing his services. I highly recommend Mr Gonzales for your airport pick up, tours and I am positive you will be raving about his services like we did. Thanks a Million Mr Mario Gonzales oops I forgot to mention his English is top tier you won’t even know he speaks Spanish unless he is communicating with another Panamanian. 😎😎
We had the pleasure of spending a day with Mario. Our day started out with an on time pick up and we first went to the Panama Canal. Mario took all the stress out of purchasing tickets (waiting in line) and gave us a very relaxed experience. Beyond all of the great info. provided at the canal tour itself Mario took the time to explain the history of the canal zone up to present day. (extremely interesting) As we made our way into town we stopped at a couple spots for pictures in some popular spots, turns out Mario is a heck of a photographer as well! We continued on through the city as Mario shared his knowledge of the area and visited some amazing churches! When my wife and I travel we always like to get a taste of the history and present day culture and these 2 tours accomplished just that! Thanks Again Mario! Nick and Erika
Mario was a very knowledgeable tour guide and he spoke excellent English. We were in Panama City on a Monday and unfortunately the museums are closed on Monday. Our visits to the old town and churches were the highlight of the tour. The Altar of Gold in St. Joseph's Cathedral was absolutely gorgeous. There were also numerous nativity displays throughout the city that were very impressive. Mario's tour vehicle was extremely comfortable making the tour even more enjoyable. We would highly recommend Mario.
