Fantastic

Service

Great guide, an amazing adventure. We saw sites we never would have found on our own. Hotels and personal attention were second to none.

Tour

Dinner with the family, meeting the Panamanian hat makers, the bakery, the zoo. It was a great trip!

04/08/2018
Excellent.

Service

Excellent. Alvaro Montenegro was a first class tour manager Ivan Ortega was a very good driver..

Tour

Trapical rain forest and parks. Boat and canoe trios. Embera Tsupino.

03/19/2018

Service

Accommodations and non-response from email to customer service - both need improvement!

Tour

Accommodations were marginal and not enough tour promo and information provided. Tour Manager, Al, was great!

03/18/2018

Service

Collette needs to evaluate the Rainforest Resort. In the room to which we were assigned the furniture was shabby and mold was present on the air conditioner vent. All of the hotels were remotely located and we, along with co-travelers, felt trapped.

Tour

I was anxious to see the Panama Canal & enjoyed the boat trip through it. However, the boat was overloaded and seating was minimal. We along with many other passengers, stood through the entire trip through the canal.

Thank you for taking the time to provide us with feedback from your tour to Panama. A member of the Guest Relations Team will be reaching out to discuss your comments.

Overall excellent

Service

This was our fifth tour with collette. It was well organized, had a good variety of activities and had a well paced schedule

Tour

Our tour guide ******* was excellent. He was very knowledgeable, funny and helpful. **** our driver as awesome. The two of them made the trip. The Panama Canal was fantastic, loved the Embera village and the home hosted dinner was amazing.

02/11/2018

Service

The intensity of the tour was great. Lots of area covered with interesting stops. It was much much more than just the Canal, it was really about the country itself. Our guide ******* was excellent. He had so much information to share. Our bus driver **** was the best!!

Tour

The tour was very inclusive. I loved our Canal crossing but I also liked the Embera tribe. And seeing other parts of the country was super.

02/04/2018

Service

We were very pleased with the whole trip and the entertaining and very knowledgeable guide.

Tour

Hotel choices were ok but could be better It would help to provide a map and explanation of the proposed tours at the very beginning. Suggest to include a site with visit and direct contacts with tropical birds!

Mediocre

Service

Mediocre at best.No decaf coffee at the hotels, are the folks taking these tours not our ages? Inconsiderate at best.

Tour

First hotel left a lot to be desired.

10/22/2017
Decent.

Service

In general, the trip was fine. The first Hotel however was a disaster. Phone did not work, lights did not work, the room was dark. It said I-on the wall to dial zero if there is a fire. I did, to check how fast the phone would be picked up, no-one ever did.

Tour

Embrea indians, but I subsequently learned, that the carvings offered for sale were available all over the country, in identical form. I specifically asked if the carving were made by them and the answer I got was affirmative. Chitre was my favorite town to visit, so was the hotel.

05/19/2017
Very good local and office staff

Service

You had a very good local tour manager and driver. Office I dealt with very helpful staff

Tour

Information from tour manager very good, driver also very good. Both very helpful and patient, considering how rude many of the other travellers were.

Wonderful trip

Service

My fourth trip. Great tour guide, good pace, food and hotels mostly wonderful. No envelops for tips and review and did not rotate seats. That did not seem to be a problem. No exchange of email either. Summarize is spelled incorrectly below

The canal trip was out of this world. I loved every minute

Service

The service was excellent. Patrick Roca was probably the best tour guide we've ever had. We've been on approx. 30 tours .

Tour

The trip to the Embera indigenous village was fascinating.

Service

Overall the tour was very good, our guide and driver were excellent, Patricio handled the check ins at hotels so there was no lost time. On the previous years tour check in at the Wyndham was very poor. Would have liked to have had more time to spend at the Museum at the Panama Canal, possibly the 10 minute video could be watched aboard the bus in order to use the time waiting in the line for the video to view the museum

Tour

The airport pick up by the Gamboa hotel was excellent, however, I think it should be included in the cost of the tour.

Service

Wish they would have done a better job of scheduling flight. We only had 45 minutes total between flights in a large airport where the gates are very far apart. Our second flight was beginning to board before we got off of our first flight. Also, booking as far in advance as we did, (over one year) we head expected to have better seats AND be able to sit together.

Tour

Did not do everything that was listed on the tour description.

Service

GREAT EXPERIENCE BEING ABLE TO TRAVERSE THE CANAL AND SEE THE PANAMANIAN PEOPLE IN THEIR NATURAL ENVIRONMENT . VISITING THE EMBERA INDIANS WAS A UNIQE PRIVELEGE THAT I THOROUGHLY. ENJOYED. OUR TOUR GUIDE, PAT ROCO MADE EVERY MOMENT AN EXPERIENCE TO REMEMBER

It was educational and cultural beyond what I could hope for. The guide was a hit. Although the walking in the Indian village was hazardous, it was a complete enjoyment .
