Even more beautiful holiday with Panama Your Way - I was in Panama with my friend in April.
I wholeheartedly recommend this private agency that made our vacation even more beautiful!
For five days, the agency helped us discover the beauty of the country. We visited Panama City (I want to mention that in Cerro Ancón we saw a lot of sloths thanks to our guide, Janiere, who is an expert in finding sloths), we made the partial transit through the Panama Canal (we had an excellent driver who took us from the hotel to Flamenco Marina early in the morning and then back to the hotel, thank you, Naibeth!), we spent some wonderful hours in Valle de Antón with our guide, Fernando, a person with very good energy, who knows how to make people feel good and who takes beautiful photos, we went to Monkey Island and the Sanctuary of the Lazy with our guide Edwin, who knows a lot about plants and helped me take a close-up picture of the Blue Morpho Butterfly and visited the Emberá community and the nearby waterfall with our lovely expert guide on sloths.
I also want to mention that this agency is serious, we had good communication from the beginning, when planning trips, until our arrival in Panama.
Maybe I had to write this resena in Romanian, but I like to practice Spanish when I have the opportunity.
Thank you so much!

Best excursion option - My spouse and I took two trips with Panama Your Way (Valle de Antón & the Monkey Island-Panama City-Canal trio) and we loved it. The owner took the time to come and greet us in the morning and explain the course of the day, which is very attentive. Not to mention the best guide, Edwin. We will resume other excursions with them when we return to Panama. Thank you for everything!

Adapted day trip to Valle de Antón - I did a day trip to Valle de Antón with Panama Your Way, guided by Aldo, and it was a wonderful experience — even though the day didn’t go exactly as planned.
We initially planned to hike La India Dormida, but unfortunately I wasn’t feeling well that day and my body just wasn’t able to make the climb. Aldo was incredibly kind, patient, and understanding. Instead of pushing the original plan, we calmly discussed alternatives and came up with a new itinerary that suited my health and energy level perfectly.
We visited Chorro del Macho, where we spent time resting and enjoying the natural swimming pools — a beautiful and peaceful way to connect with nature. After that, we stopped at the local market to try some delicious, typical mango, and then headed to the beach to enjoy a great fried fish andA relax in the sun.
The day felt balanced, unrushed, and thoughtfully adapted. Aldo was the perfect guide: attentive, flexible, and genuinely focused on making sure I felt comfortable and still had a great experience.
That’s exactly what you want in a guide — someone who makes the best out of any situation and truly cares about your well-being. I will definitely hire Aldo again and highly recommend him.

An unforgettable adventure in the heart of nature - Visiting the butterfly sanctuary, taking a walk through the jungle to swim at the foot of a waterfall, and discovering the charming village of the Anton Valley were just perfect. Our guide, Edwing, shared with us the fascinating history of this place. An unforgettable day!

All day Panamanian tour, including monkey Island, the sloth, sanctuary, and the national park. - Gabriel was an amazing tour guide. He was able to relate many facts to us about the Panamanian culture and country. He was very attentive to the people in our group.

Did not meet... - Did not meet expectations. The tour was to expensive for what was offer. To mush driving to see a butterfly's garden, a visitor center and a local market. The tour director was the best, very knowledgeable. Aldo know his job.
