In a few words, Juan the driver and Rafael the tour guide are the best. Rafael knows the history of Colon. We enjoy it!! - Rafael is an historian and he enjoys sharing his knowledge with us. As an AfroCaribbean, I want to learn about the history of Colon and Rafael delivers. Juan the driver is fun to be with. I will grade both of them 20/10. Excellent!!!

Colon City: Its history, its culture, its food, its people - We met Roderick in 2023 when we took a Casco walking tour with him. Having enjoyed that tour very much, we always kept his number on hand. This time we wanted to experience Colon City: its history, its culture, its food and its people. And we wanted to do it with a local, so we hired Roderick. Once again we thoroughly enjoyed this tour and feel that we got a taste of the spirit of Colon.

Unexpectedly Enlightening Colon Tour – Thanks to Roderick! - We were tagging along with friends on their Anniversary. The idea was to experience a bit of Colon. Roderick (our Guide) made it into a very relaxed experience. Being from Colon himself, his insight on the day-to-day life in the area helped give context to what our eyes were seeing. I’m from Panama myself, so this was an eye opening experience to meet as well. Thanks Roderick for a wonderful and informative experience!

Indigenous and natural experience - A small town but has a lot to do with its diverse attractions, its colors and warm welcome GREAT the Guide was quite educational and provided us with a look at the city and its surroundings from the most indigenous perspective possible.

To discover the true heart of the city of Colon. - Excellent day with Roderik who showed me around and loved the center of Colon. Colon, the unloved one who deserves attention. The locks of Agua Clara are more beautiful than those of Miraflores. And Oscar the driver, is perfect. Colon must be discovered
