    Our tour guide, Armando, was great and went out of his way to ensure we had an amazing experience. Some of the accommodation could have been better at the beginning and end of the trip (but hard to complain with the tour being so cheap). Great excursions and a beautiful country. Would definitely recommend.

    I loved the experience in Panama and our guide Mandy was excellent. I will recommend this trip to everyone I know that is looking for a quick week get away.

    Armando "Mandy" was an excellent tour leader. He was extremely attentive and effective in dealing with a diverse set of demographics and interests. He was a very positive and kind spirited person with an infectious laugh. Also the local guide in Bocas, Alejandro, was awesome. Lots of choices for special interests. My only critical feedback would be for G Adventures to mandate the hotels to provide filtered water so guests could refill water bottles and not made to purchase bottled water. Also group size of 16 proves to be a bit challenging and I prefer a maximum of 12. Still, I rate the trip with 5 stars.
