Great experience - We had a great time on the Panamanian Aventures Portobelo tour. It was myself, partner, and our 1 year old son. Roderick the owner/manager confirmed the pick-up time the day before. Our tour guide was Harry. He was very polite, courteous, and very attentive. Harry shared a wealth knowledge about the history, culture, and current conservation efforts of the Caribbean coast of Panamá. He is an experienced guide and we felt very comfortable with him. We enjoyed touring/learning about Portobelo and spending time at the beautiful beach. The lunch was delicious and our tour also included ice cold water and beer (if you’d like). We would definitely recommend this tour to anyone visiting Panamá!
