Wonderful Day - Due to Covid, the train was not running. However, we had the opportunity to visit San Lorenzo instead. It was BEAUTIFUL! We learned so much and had a wonderful time. We ended up having a private tour with Hector, who was so knowledgable about the history of all of the places we visited. The Aguas Claros Locks was fascinating, Portabelo and San Lorenzo were beautiful. And lunch was delicious! It was a great day and we would certainly book another tour when we return.

Fun and Educational - Awesome Tour!! Unfortunately, the train wasn't running, so if that is important to you, contact them to make sure. We saw the new locks and two ruins. It was amazing and the information Hector had was incredible. We learned so much. He was also great with our 9 year old son. Highly recommended.

Well worth the effort. - Great tour. A large amount of Historical information shared by our tour guide. He was extremely helpful and knowledgeable. Did not rush. Explained things thoroughly. Tour was lengthy so come prepared for a long day but was well
worth the effort. Would recommend to people who are prepared for a 10 to 11 hour day.

The Coolest, Bravo - Our third group vacations, this was the coolest trip ever. The most adventurous trip with great folks and our local tour guide was surely on top of his game. We had private transportations and the same tour guide for our group of 15 people for all 3 trips we booked with them.

The most Satisfying Experience - This is by far the most satisfying experience we have ever had; we booked this tour with a lot of expectations and they were all met, this was, most definitely the highlight of our entire vacations. We surely will recommend LIVE FOLKS to others, family, friends should they visit Panama.

NOTHING BUT THE BEST EXPERIENCE - My friends and I wanted to book an excursion that could inspire us and help us discover the rich culture of Portobelo, its people and history. What can I say about this excursion, we had Nothing but the Best experience ever. Hat off to our local expert mr. Hector P, he is simply great at what he does. This is amongst my top 10 experiences; we were totally inspired by the culture and history of each site we visited. I recommend this tour company a 100%, they are professionals, punctual and have the human touch to make you enjoy their company and activity.
