Look no further- these are your guides!
Soray and Roger are fantastic guides and very knowledgeable about Panama City and the country of Panama as a whole. They meticulously cater to your interests and not only show you the city but have you experiencing the REAL Panama.
They know the best local coffee shops, restaurants, and places of interest. We were able to experience the local cuisine at some of the best restaurants and try some of the best coffee I have ever had.
The hospitality is wonderful and the passion they have for guiding people around their country is out of this world. If you are truly looking to experience Panama as a traveler and not just a tourist, these are the people you need to do it with!

Up close and personal on the Panama Canal complete with feeding monkeys
A full day of being on the canal in a small boat. Close to huge tankers. Seeing monkeys (and feeding one), sloths, crocodile, birds. Walk in the forest with a local who had unbelievable ability to spot the animals. Could not have asked for a better experience.

My darlings Mr Lee and Mrs Linda…
I was very intimidated when I knew who you were and how many countries you had under your belt.
I honestly thought there was nothing we could do leave a long lasting memorable experience in you but… I am happy I was wrong.
Your face when that cute White Faced Capuchin jumped on the boat was priceless…. Hahahaha…
Bringing Josecito along on our short hike was a smart decision because my jungle boy has the eye of an eagle and spotted those 3 sloths easily uh?!
Thank you for booking a second tour because we made you feel special and surpassed your expectations.
I thoroughly enjoyed your company and your life lessons.
I must say, I have the best job in the word… yes!
Hugs for both of you!

My darling Mrs Stephanie and Mr Kerry, I am happy to know we accomplish that day what you two wanted. I was glad to be your introduction to the Panama that is beyond the skycrapers and the Panama Canal. You know what I mean.
I noted the 5 life lessons from Mr. K and couldn’t get enough from you and all your experiences around the world.
From Alexis and myself, a million thanks for your company and hopefully your posponed trips will happen soon.

Really educational and the best tour guide ever. I even got to see a Sloth! Thanks Sorhay
This was our very first time in Panama. I was myself, my husband and our inlaws, and we did not know what to expect. We had a wonderful day with Sorhay our tour guide, and the driver. Sorhay went over and above to make our private experience phenomenal. We had no problem communicating with her, and her English skills are excellent. This tour wasn't just great for the sight seeing, but she really educated us on all of Panama, she shared the history of everything we saw on our drive, and knew everything about the canal. If we had a question, she either knew the answer, or found it for us. She even found a sloth in a tree on the side of the road and stopped for us to view and photo. She made our experience a really really nice time. I highly recommend her for anybody preparing to go to Panama. We got to know her so well, i feel like she is family. We booked 2 tours with her during this trip the second one being the Private Monkey Island Boat Tour at the Panama Canal. Both of these Tours Rocked. Thank You Sorhay!

Sra. Romina:
Qué lindo saber que en un pueblo pequeñito de Argentina, ya nos conocen y se quedaron con las ganas de más!!!... Belleza ....
Gracias a su Gabi por pedirme que lo llevara a ese templo Hindú que yo misma no había visitado en mi país. Sé que lo disfrutó.
Espero que su mami haya llegado en su vuelo separado sin contratiempos.
Hicimos bastante en el corto tiempo de su pasadía, sin apuros y tuvimos mucha suerte al llegar a Monkey Island y ver a los monos, allí esperándonos cmo si supieran que teníamos el tiempo limitado...
Besitos para Cata... un abrazo para el comelón de Valentín....jajajaj... LLegamos tarde a buscar esos chocolates 100% panameños pero llegamos....
Sé que volverán porque les falta un 99.7854% por conocer de este istmo precioso.
Un abrazo desde Panamá
Sorhay :')
