Extremely knowledgeable - My boyfriend and I basically had a private tour with Juan Carlos. He was very knowledgeable about the wildlife, plants, history of Panama, healthcare system, and more! Very enriching experience. Wish we would’ve done it sooner as it gave context to a lot of other things I learned on the trip. On time pick up on Casco Viejo even though it made it seem like it was outside of the pick up zone on the app. I just had to respond on What’sApp with a updated location.

Great Tour Guide! - Superb! Juan Carlos is truly knowledgeable. Enjoyed learning from him. Pick up was on time. Would highly recommend this tour. Would not have had the same experience visiting the hill on our own with a great tour guide.

Great Tour Guide - Our Tour Guide, Juan Carlos, was absolutely fantastic. He had an amazing wealth of knowledge that he shared with us during the tour. It would have been a completely different (less enjoyable) experience without having him to explain things and point out the animals and aspects of the topography.

Book this tour for wildlife, history, and some morning exercise with an outstanding guide - Outstanding experience. Not only did I see multiple sloths, but we also discussed fascinating topics around the history of Panama. Highly recommended!

A Memorable Experience - This was an exceptional experience. Learning the history of Anton Hill and its significance to Panamanians provided a wonderful backdrop for the tour. Juan Carlos, our guide, offered insights into the Hill’s intertwined connection to the Panama Canal and to the relationship between Panama and the US. But, history was accompanied by the beautiful scenic views of the city and canal during the climb up and atop the hill. Along the way, we stopped to discover the native flora and fauna from tree varieties to frogs, toucans, and sloths. We made our way up and down the hill at a comfortable pace with some snacks along the way. A totally enjoyable adventure!

Fabulous hike! - Juan Carlos was an incredible guide, knowledgeable and unbelievably quick to capture amazing wildlife in his telescope. We saw a wide variety of animals and birds and learned a lot of history, geography and animal facts. A perfect amount of time—felt like we had really accomplished a lot in three hours!

Exceeded expectations, highly recommended, ask for Juan Carlos - We enjoyed the whole tour, but climbing Ancon Hill when hardly anyone else was there felt magical. Juan Carlos was awesomely well-informed about Panamanian wildlife and history, including Canal history, and it was great talking with him all morning. The views from the top of the hill were unforgettable, as were the toucans on top of a nearby tree eating and calling to one another!
