I used Safe Transportation Panama company for my airport transfers and for a day private tour of the Panama City and Canal, and cannot say enough great things about the quality of service I received!
The drivers for my airport transfers came on time, drive safely , and the vehicles were in excellent condition.
My driver and tour guide for the Panama day tour was Dan who was professional, punctual, friendly, spoke excellent English. We left at 7:30 am for the Miraflores locks, arrived there a few minutes before it opened, which was ideal. Dan told me where to position myself so I can have the best view of the boats passing through the canal, and offered to take a few pictures me of. Many guides simply abandon you after you enter, but Dan guided me and gave me suggestions for the best experience, without being intrusive. It is important to get to the Visitors center of the canal as soon as it opens at 8 am, so you can have a chance to see a ship passing and the locks in action. I managed to catch the last ship passing from the Atlantic to the Pacific in the morning (9 am is the cut-off time), the canal resumes operations in the opposite direction at 1- 2 pm. (cannot remember the exact time).
After I saw the boats, Dan patiently waited for me to watch the IMAX movie and get my souvenirs from the Panama canal center.
Because my hotel was in the Old city, and I had already seen the sights there, Dan took me to a Traditional Panamanian village-museum instead- it was fun and informative. He also drove me to many areas of the city, and told me so much about the history and culture of this beautiful country. We eve spotted a sloth, sleeping on a tree along the road!
I am very happy to have discovered Safe Transportation Panama and to have used their services while I was in Panama city! Thank you, and thank you, Dan! Highly recommend!
