The Unmatched and A1 Service We Received! - We are pleased with the service received from Mr. Ali and his team! Their hospitality and patience during our stay are unmatched. They certainly went above and beyond to ensure that our needs as tourists were met. There was constant communication and he made a few adjustments to satisfy the needs of our family. Without hesitation, we confidently recommed his A1 service. As a result of his knowledge, expertise, and rapport with other business operators, I assure you that you will receive the creme-de-la-creme. Your only worry will be to get dressed and go!!! Our only regret, is that we did not book our travel to Panama as well as have them handle our vacation home away from home.

Una Experiencia Buena! - With an initial plan to go to Panama with friends, I knew it would be a great trip. However, Danyal provided a fantastic, well valued, enlightening and enjoyable excursion on our first day in Panama. Danyal has the ability to read his customer and understand what they would appreciate. He did not disappoint! Our city tour was filled with just enough information to keep your interest, an equal amount of laughter and well paced so that he didn't make us feel hurried in any way. Even throughout our stay thus far Danyal has been someone we can call on to ask questions. All in all Danyal is good at what he does, providing a well curated experience of Panama. Would definitely recommend him and his tour group to my friends and family.

Old City Tour - We had no idea what we were going to do when we got to Panama, however as soon as we checked into the hotel we got a call from Danyal who offered up a series of activities we could do. We decided on the Old City Tour. Danylal is an excellent tour guide who took us to all of the churches and through the old city with a sprinle of all the folklore and history. We then made a quick pit stop for mojitis and the local beer balbosa in a hole in the wall bar behind a souvenir shop. On our way to the Panama Canal we detoured to the Artisan market where we picked up some local mola inspired souvenirs. No words can adequately describe the 7th wonder of the world, you'll just have to call Danyal yourself and organize a visit. We definitely got our money's worth and then some!

Danyal is an Excellent Guide! - Danyal is an excellent, knowledgeable guide who strikes the right balance of friendliness and professionalism. We were a group of 4 Caribbean women, and his knowledge of how the histories of Caribbean and Panama are combined is exemplary. Instead of giving us a “standard” tour, he asked us what WE wanted to see...and then delivered! Not only that, he also recommended other sights/attractions he knew would be of interest. Sadly, time didn't let us take advantage of his recommendations, but this means is that a return trip to this beautiful country is high on the list! Danyal goes above and beyond as standard, and we have no hesitation in recommending him and his services.

School group visit to Panama - Had a lovely 6 day stay in Panama with my school group of 23 thanks to Discover Panama. Karol was so helpful in arranging a great hotel and tour package to meet our needs & budget. Gustavo our tour guide and Joel our bus driver were excellent, patient and accommodating. I will definitely be using this tour service again.

Beyond Excellent - From our arrival in Panama City, until we left, Danyal and his team were beyond excellent. Our pick up from the airport was perfectly on time and the next day, Danyal delivered a tour of Panama City, that was knowledgeable and friendly. He accommodated our group of six, who were mostly seniors and made sure everyone was well looked after. Danyal was also versatile enough to ensure that the younger members were included and well entertained. I'd strongly recommend Danyal and Discover Panama 365 for any tour of Panama City.
