Panama Vacations is a top notch, professional tour operator. In terms of trip planning, we were delighted with all of our hotels - Bristol in Panama, Red Frog in Bocas. Our tour guides Rene in Panama City and Ernesto in Boquete/David were knowledgeable, entertaining, professional, and added so much to our trip experience.

When on vacation, you never want to have issues. But knowing that someone is looking out for you, like Fernando and Jeremy at Panama Vacations, should put you at ease. When we arrived at Allbrook Airport for a flight to Bocas at 5:30 am, only to be told the airline had cancelled 4 of our reservations for no apparent reason, I did not hesitate to call Fernando. Within a few minutes, someone found us at the airport, introduced herself, and reassured us she was working on a solution with Fernando. Within a couple of hours, we were on a private 6 seat charter to Bocas! Had we not used Panama Vacations, I have no idea how this would have all played out.

If you're planning a trip to Panama, I highly recommend you make use of the services provided by Panama Vacations!

We worked with Namu Travel to plan our Panama adventure. Chelsey was fantastic from start to finish! The support team in-country was excellent as well. Every detail and accommodation was just as promised. We felt fully-supported even when not I’m familiar territory. We will definitely use Namu again and would love to return to Panama!

Cannot begin to say what a phenomenal job by Chelsey Perron in tailoring our 10 days in Panama to be a great experience. Each event and lodging exceeded all of our expectations in quality of both facilities and service. Drivers Rene, Nick and Orlando were great tour guides and went above and beyond to entertain, inform and make us feel welcome. We look forward to our return to Panama thanks to Chelsey and Panama Vacations.

Panama Vacations is a top notch / excellent agency to use - I highly recommend Chelsey= she is wonderful....but....Buena Ventura resort in Panama ......is a lovely property to look at. The staff are extremely warm and accommodating. The beach is long and lovely. This is the noisiest resort we have every stayed at. From 7:30 am - midnight = non-stop noise. Only quiet & relaxation we got was laying on the floor of the gym. Out of our 9 night stay=2 nights of decent sleep. We are exhausted from our "vacation". If rest, quiet, and relaxation are your goals=this is not the place for you.

Chelsey did a great job and provided the same level of service as does Costa Rica Vacations. Everything was perfect, as promised and smooth with no issues. All of the drivers, Rene, Nick and Ernie, were prompt and provided lots of information. Highly recommended.

Chelsey from Panama Vacations arranged a wonderful trip to Panama for our family of 9, ages 13 to 80. We spent 2 nights in Panama City at the Bristol Hotel, 5 nights at Isla Palenque and ended with another 2 nights in Panama City at Hotel La Concordia. All our transportation were perfectly timed and arranged, the city hotels were wonderful, Isla Palenque was just a dream and we cannot wait to return. Chelsey also arranged a special birthday dinner for us at Intimo in Panama City. All in all, a truly wonderful trip and we highly recommend Panama Vacations and Chelsey! Thank you!

We had 12 members of our family, ages 7 to 75, spend a week in Panama. Other than a couple of "timing" surprises, the entire trip was wonderful. The six children (ages 7 to 13) learned so much and had so much fun that they didn't even know they were learning. Since they have been home (1 week), they have spontaneously written books and made projects to share with their classes. It was an active itinerary that still left time for relaxation. Namu Travel had pickups and guides that never missed a step.I would heartily recommend Panama and Namu Travel.

Just returned from a wonderful 4 days in Panama. Chesley Perron from Namu Travel did a terrific job organizing the trip. My tour guide, Rene Guardiola from Your Man In Panama was charming and extremely knowledgable. I loved Isla Palenque. Highly recommend it. Very special!

We had a great experience in Panama. Once we decided where we were going, our detailed itinerary was smooth for the entire week. Starting off in Boquete in the mountains and then to Boco Chica on the Pacific Ocean and finally Panama City. All three locations gave our group of 4 a taste of the country. Our transportation guides and tour guides were always on time and informative. I would definitely use Chelsey with Namu Travel Group again.

We have just returned from a week in Panama, it was a great excursion! Our entire week was planned by Chelsey of Namu Travel Group, who did an amazing job making sure every detail was perfect. Our first stay was at the charming Hotel Panamonte in Boquete. This hotel is lovely and the food is wonderful. For a great local lunch, you have to try Sugar & Spice. For adventure, a definite thrill is the Boquete Tree Trek, super fun and nice long lines and many of them. Next, we went to the Bocas del Mar in Boca Chica. If you just want to relax, this is the ideal place to unwind. We ended our trip in Panama City, staying at the Bristol, a beautiful hotel. Our favorite restaurant within walking distance was Vespa. In Panama, you must see the Panama Canal, quite an inspiration and lesson in history.
