Birthday Celebration 🎂 - This excursion provided an incredible look at nature in it's rarest form. Our driver Douglas guide provided pleasant conversation throughout the ride. The indigenous people were kind and friendly. The waterfall was absolutely breathtaking. Our guide Italiano was especially helpful in helping us to maneuver our walk to the waterfall. When we returned to the village area we were greeted with local music. Their performance was heartwarming and genuine. The history of the people was fascinating. The food they served was really tasty and well presented.

Loved it - It was a beautiful relaxing trip. The local people took us to the waterfall in a long narrow motor boat. The villagers were nice and welcoming. Our tour guide Richard was great explaining things

Very good experience - Richard was an outstanding guide and extremely knowledgeable about Panama and the Embera people. He entertained us with his insight and endless well of facts about Noriega, the relationship between Panama and the United States, etc. I would def recommend! Oh, and def wear water shoes not flip flops maybe even tennis shoes you can get wet. The climbing around the waterfall is not flip flop safe and barefoot is not comfortable, and bring water and a hat.

Rewarding cultural experience with Richard the best guide in Panama. - The best part of our trip was our guide Richard. He was so engaging and helpful. He stopped at some key locations in the city and told us a lot about the history of Panama. Throughout the drive he was a wealth of knowledge and history including his own as a Panamanian growing up. 5 stars for tour but 10 star rating for Richard !!

Interesting trip - Very happy with the experience and the guide was very informative. Not sure I believe the village makes all the items available for sale but that did not deter from the experience.

The best tour ever - A great experience. Ali was an excellent guide. We were so fortunate to have had no one else on our tour group and had a private tour. Swimming at the waterfall was a unique experience and the Embera village people were wonderful!
