      The tour was a great end to our trip for us. We were picked up on time by our driver (Dan) and drove to the Caribbean in a very comfortable car. We saw many different landscapes, including how people live outside of Panama City. The fortifications in Portobelo are impressive. But the highlight was Isla Grande. We really enjoyed the crossing in the small boat and the beautiful hours on the beach. Dan, who was always available for us, organized a great meal for us on the island and then showed us the island on a short walk.

      Ceasar is very personable and friendly. He took exceptional care of me during my private tour. I learned a lot about the history of Panama and met some interesting people. The island was gorgeous and the history of Portobelo was thought provoking. I will definitely book another tour through Safe Transportation whenever I go back to Panama.
