Panama is probably not on the radar for many tourists. But Panama is gaining ground and becoming a top tourist destination in Central America. When my wife and I decided to visit Panama 5 years ago we had no intentions to return to Panama. On our first trip there, we met our tour guide, Jesus. It was a coincidental meeting but it turned out to be the best thing for us. Jesus opened our eyes to the wonders of Panama, from the stunning Caribbean beaches of Portobelo, Bocas del toro, amazing hiking trails of El Valle, the Panama Canal, Panama has it all. Jesus put together amazing excursions, off the beaten path, unique and fascinating locations of Panama. In Panama City, Jesus  introduced us to the rich culinary scene of Panama City, Night life, and world class hotels.   If you are like me, someone who appreciates exceptional customer experience, attention to detail, punctuality and professionalism, Jesus is your perfect tour guide, articulate in both Spanish and English. My wife and I have fallen in love with Panama because of the warmth and love of the Panamanians. Jesus is surely a great ambassador of that country and I would not hesitate to recommend his services. 

Knowledgeable, kind and professional only begin to describe Jesus. A native Panamánian, who is fluent in English makes for an excellent experience be it as a driver or tour guide. He’s flexible with times and itineraries and has terrific suggestions. I’ve gone on several customized canal tours with Jesus and can’t wait to go again. Unequivocally - Jesús is the best!

Simply the best, he is ma' man in Panama every time I go, no doubt.

The service received is excellent, from the timely and friendly pick-up, it leaves you with a taste of family, it is as if you have known it for a lifetime, you feel very comfortable, confident and secure, providing you with the necessary and timely information at all times, It doesn't matter that on your first visit you don't know much about their culture and their country, you always receive a whole tour of information about their rich history and current affairs, always making the arrival at your destination very pleasant and safe, in short, an excellent service from a professional, I recommend it, warranty.

A couple of years ago some friends and I had the good fortune of meeting a great tour guide named Jesus Mendez.  He was personable, full of suggestions, fluent in English, and offered reasonable rates.  Because Jesus exceeded all of our expectations, we committed to a second tour where he took us off the beaten path, and exposed us to areas that we otherwise might have missed.  We were so impressed with his services that on a trip to Panama City last summer I employed Jesus to transport me to the Immigration and Tribunal Electoral offices.  Before dropping me off at each appointment Jesus went “above and beyond the call of duty” by getting out of his car to talk with the person I was meeting, and asking them to call him when I was ready to be picked up. This most certainly put me at ease as I negotiated unfamiliar surroundings.  This is the best transportation service I have ever discovered in a foreign country.

Visiting Panama was amazing. The real icing on the cake though... being on tour with Jesus made our trip extra special. Fantastic person with all the knowledge of the best places that Panama has to offer, his attention to detail was extraordinary. If your looking to take your vacation to the next level, contact Jesus. Thanks for everything and we will see you soon.

Whenever traveling in a new city, having a quality guide and driver is essential; there is no better way to get a feel for the town, where to go, what to see, where to dine, all put in context with a concise explanation of history and local culture. My wife Sally and I were fortunate enough to be introduced to Jesus through friends who previously discovered Jesus and his incredible talents. Now that we are established in Panama City, we have come to rely on Jesus’s iron-clad dependability to provide us with anything from airport transportation to complex tours inside and outside of the city. Even during the height of COVID, Jesus came through. We arrived one weekend unexpectedly with another couple who had never been to Panama. On short notice, Jesus put together an incredible day of exploration that hit all the highlights one would expect from an elite guide, giving our friends a comprehensive overview of Panama City and all the diverse sites and activities that are found here. Sally and I learned a thing or two as well. I can imagine no person better suited to provide transportation and tours than Jesus. He is reliable, friendly, funny, well-informed and dedicated to making his clients happy with his services. Sally and I consider ourselves extremely fortunate to have met Jesus, and remain grateful for his wonderful services.
