 The trip was wonderful.  
Our driver, Eric, was punctual and superb in the chaotic Panama City traffic.
Victor, our guide for the Panama City area was personable, helpful, knowledgeable, informative and went out of his way to make all our outings enjoyable. The Panama Canal tour, being able to travel through the locks was especially interesting. Carlos, our guide in El Valle de Anton, was friendly, knew the area well, gave us excellent suggestions on where to eat and made our stay there very enjoyable. We really enjoyed the E-Bike tour.
We would say the highlight of the trip was the Red Cat catamaran tour to Isla Taboga. Jumping off the catamaran into the Pacific was a thrilling experience. The water was so fresh and clear.
The trip's excursions exceeded our expectations.  Everything was very well organized and went as planned.
