Reviews
The transportation company was great! The ride was early and got me to my destination in plenty of time! Nice comfortable car, handled 3 big suitcases and 3 smaller one with no problem. I would book with this company again!
Daniel picked us up early at the Colon Cruise Port for our hotel transfer in Panama City with a sign with our name on it. He was friendly, efficient, and bilingual. While on our cruise, we decided to upgrade our transfer to a Panama Canal Tour as well working with Elijah via WhatsApp. Daniel took us to the Gatun Locks Visitor Center, Agua Clara Locks Visitor, showed us the remnants of the original French canal, Chagres River, crossed the Centenial Bridge both ways, the Culebra Cut, Pedro Miguel Locks, and the Cocoli Locks. His knowledge & narration was excellent! On top of all that, he took us to a Farmacia to get my wife much needed cough medicine where he translated! Highly recommend them!
On time arrival, the communication was top tier.....................................................
Hard to know where to meet driver at the port. Very busy, very hot, quite frustrating Driver was great. Very safe comfortable ride to the airport
Dan was punctual, friendly and shared info about Panama on the trip. We stopped at a grocery store to grab drinks and snacks which was nice. No issues with navigation. Highly recommended.
Daniel was early to pick us up and offered fun facts along the drive from Colon to Panama City. He was personable and drove very safe. Would use again!
Mr Carlos was a great driver. Was an excellent way to get to the cruise port from Panama City. He showed up early and took a route so we never sat in traffic
Carlos was great. He arrived on time and the vehicle was nice and air conditioned. I would recommend.
Our flight was delayed and rescheduled. They were very accommodating to change our pick up to the next day so we still had a ride to our resort. Definitely would book with them again.
Great trip from Panama City Hotel to Cruise Port in Coloń. Driver on time, definitely knew best way to get to port. Friendly.
Nady ( our Driver ) was pleasant and early. The car was comfortable and the trip uneventful , which is what wants ! They sent us a picture of the car and drivers name the evening before ;nice touch ! I don’t hesitate to recommend and will be using in our return.
Very nice ride from coast to coast. Our driver was informative and welcoming. Would not hesitate to ride with him again.
The driver was early and very courteous and I would recommend/use Viator again in the future if needed when traveling.
Great ride! The driver was friendly, talkative, and informative. Communication prior to disembarkation was excellent. Would highly recommend this car service and company.
Driver arrived about 15-minutes early and located us in the hotel lobby to begin the journey to the port. Friendly, efficient and knowledgeable driver.
Everything went perfectly, our driver meet us at the hotel about 15 minutes early. It was very comfortable, I am 6'2" and 275 lbs so space mean a lot to me. It was a very good experience and would recommend it.
Great! On time, and very professional
Great communication about where they would be located for pick up. Lots of room for us and our luggage as requested.
The driver was trying to drop us off at a location that wasn't what we paid for. Apparently it was his first time driving and we were not familiar with the area; luckily some of the locals asked us where we were trying to go with so much luggage; we told them that we were going on a cruise and they stopped him from leaving us. He seemed angry and argued with them but they were very persistent. Luckily they were there to let us know that we were in the wrong area. Thank God for the locals, otherwise we would've been stranded in an unknown place unable to communiate because we only speak English and the driver only spoke spanish. Who knows what could've happened to us if those local bilingual guys were not there.
Driver arrived early at our hotel and waited for us to be ready at the specified pickup time. She was courteous, spoke English and a very safe driver. Once we arrived at the cruise terminal, there was a mixup with the cruise ship location and she offered to take us to the new location. We declined the offer and had the cruise company take care of getting us to the new location for the cruise ship.
Daniel was excellent. Very friendly. Helped is with our bags. Shared information about Panama with us and pointed out interesting areas. Got us safely to our hotel. Great experience!
Our drive was prompt, friendly, helpful and provided great information about the area during our ride.
Elijah provided friendly service and was very informative about information on the drive to the reserve.
Friendly driver, clean vehicle, good driver. Beautiful drive along the water with lush vegetation. Panama City old town is beautiful full of history and lots of tourists
Smooth and easy hotel to terminal transfer. Guide/ driver was professional and friendly, making us feel very comfortable as we transitioned locations in a new country. The team was very proactive, reaching out to let us know of a landslide that had caused some traffic issues along our route and seeing if we could leave earlier to provide enough time to reach our ship in good order. That was very much appreciated. Thank you!
I was very nervous about booking in Panama since I do not speak Spanish. Luckily our driver was Daniel and he was waiting for us as soon as we picked up our luggage. He was friendly, gave us lots of historical and fun facts on the drive as well as told us translations of signs or buses into English on our way to the port. He made my husband and I very comfortable and I would definitely book Viator & Daniel again!
The driver was on time and very friendly. We had plenty of room for our bags and we made it to our port in plenty of time.
We were greeted with a sign that said my name. It was very clear & he was standing separate from the chaos of other people offering a taxi. They loaded all of our luggage into the bus. It had rained so it was hot & muggy. We stepped onto the air conditioned bus & sighed in relief. There was plenty of space & we were told the driver was going to stop along the way. He did & it was very much so needed. He took us directly to the airport & helped unload our luggage. It was everything we needed. We felt safe & taken care of.
Daniel did a fantastic job. He was very attentive to our interests and made an excellent lunch recommendation that really hit the spot.
Daniel was right on time. The vehicle was spotless and in excellent working condition. He shared a lot of info about Panama City then and now. He also gave interesting historical info as we drove through the mountains from PC to Colon.
Very prompt. Ride was uneventful. Exactly what we were looking for. Mr. Yard was helpful in understanding where to go once we got to the terminal.
Elijah was prompt. Gave a good overview of city and country. Wonderful. Will recommend to others. Glad we went with Viator.
The driver was very punctual and got us to the cruise in plenty of time Would recommend viator anytime
Our driver was on time, he was friendly & got us to our cruise ship timely. He even took time to show us some sights along the way.
The driver was early, which worked out perfect for us, and easy to find! The vehicle was comfortable and large enough to accommodate 8 people and all of our luggage.
Easy and seamless. Driver was professional knowledgeable and kind. The van fit all 6 adults comfortably, even with multiple pieces of luggage.
Safe and efficient transfer to the airport. Driver was on time and pleasant. Overall it was a good experience
Our driver Elijah C was so awsome & helpful! Flight was delayed twice & he was still there waiting when we came out of Customs with his sign.
0730 P/U at Bristol Collection Hotel, then to Pipeline Rd for birds, then to Monkey Island boat ride to see Howlers, Tamarindo, other monkeys and birds, then to Gamboa Rainforest Reserve Hotel for more birds and lunch, then to Windstar in Colon by 5 PM, ship left at 6:30 PM Awesome utilization of Our Time, Great Tours!
Daniel was great, a real pro. Pick up went smooth. It was a very nice comfortable car. Very helpful and polite. I would recommend this service for any transfer you need.
The driver we had gave us an informed ride to the airport he was very friendly. Beautiful Port wish I would have gotten up and walked around to see the marina.
Prompt, polite driver. Made our trip to airport easy. Actually came early for us when we cleared customs quickly. Thank you
Excellent trip from our hotel to the port. Elija was even early. Talked all about the history of Panama on the way and was super nice.
Abreast of our flight delay, Daniel was waiting for us right outside our terminal exit door. We appreciated being able to confirm and converse with him via the Tripadvisor app! Excellent service and Daniel’s pointing out sites along the way enhanced our trip from the airport to cruise port.
Driver was waiting in airport upon arrival for pickup, was very informative throughout the drive to the cruise terminal, and got me to my destination safely and on-time.
Friendly and effective greeting at the airport. Pleasant and informative ride to the ship. Well Done!
Raphael was courteous, on time, professional and safe!! In short drive became a friend 😤 The BEST 😎
My driver was knowledgeable about Panama history and spoke very good English. He was always smiling and informed us ahead of time of his whereabouts.
Arranged for transportation from our hotel in Panama City to the port in Colon; our driver was waiting for us as my husband and I entered the lobby at the pick-up time and the car was in top condition and comfortable (with a/c). We had an excellent driver, in terms of driving skills and sharing information on Panama. The trip took no time at all and we greatly appreciate the professional service.
