- wilsonsotoesq0 contributionsAwesome Experience!Great flight! Thanks for hosting the New York Smoke Dawgs for a spectacular flight over the Panama Canal! Kudos to Monique!Written 22 November 2024
- joettem1410 contributionsTour does not fit the descriptionWe spent most of our time kayaking in the middle of the chagres river instead of along the sides where more wildlife would have been able to be viewed. We were not able to look up in the trees for monkeys sloths or toucans. Therefore we saw no wildlife. Also, Christian took a couple pictures of us kayaking and said he would send them and never did. I’ve sent 3 emails to him requesting the pictures and he hasn’t even responded to my request.Written 17 November 2024
- 203rfr0 contributionsAwesome horse back riding trip-Christian is great tour guide!The tour guide, Christian Piccoli, arrived at our hotel at the time he stated he would. This may sound like an obvious thing however since arriving in Panama we have found time is “relative”. The transportation was in a clean, air conditioned SUV that Christian drove in a safe manner. Once again, safe driving would be expected however we have found that driving in Panama is an “extreme experience” and not for the faint of heart. The horse riding was on sure footed, well trained horses. We rode through the local countryside, forest and multiple stream crossing. There wasn’t any recent rain so the insects were not an issue however we would recommend sunscreen, insect repellent, hat and sunglasses. Christian was easy to speak with, knowledgeable about the horses and surroundings. This was well worth the cost and a very enjoyable experience. We would highly recommend this tour guide and trip.Written 25 July 2024

I could not have been happier with this tour and especially, Jose'. Great tour to the canal locks with history about the canals beginnings. When he realized that I am an outdoors/active/nature loving gal, he made sure to let me experience this love of the outdoors by doing some hiking with exceptional views of the city! It was wonderful. Highly recommend this tour and if you get Jose', he will make sure to help you see/do, exactly what YOU want to do. Gracias, Jose'.Written 20 December 2022

We hired Christian for a private tour to the Embera Indigenous village at the last minute after another tour company fell through. We had enjoyed his horseback riding tour so much we felt confident he would be a great choice. He did not disappoint us as the tour was great! The transportation to and from the dock was in a clean, comfortable and air conditioned SUV. Christian is very personable and friendly. It was clear by his interactions with the Embera tribe that he was respected and welcomed. We traveled to the village by a motor boat and docked at one of the main islands. The Embera tribe are very friendly and welcoming. Christian was very good about translating everything into English and answering any question. The day was extremely hot, so remember to bring sunscreen, bug repellent and hat/sunglasses! We were fortunate to also get a chance to cool off in the river afterwards. We had an awesome time and would definitely recommend Christian as a tour guide.
