Thanks to Francesco we got to see so many things of Panama and got to know a lot of the nature, the history, the society and more. We were in... read more the jungle on horses with Francesco and he showed us a lot. He is an experienced guide and lives there for now 10 years. He speaks good english and is really funny. He gave us everyday another nice activity to do. So we went on the ocean with his kayak one day, which was a real fun ride. The next day we went amphibia board riding, which is board pulled under water by a boat. He also showed us some secret beaches where we camped and stayed the night.

We got the contact details of Francesco via an acquaintance of ours. He became our regular guide during our stay in Portobelo. Francesco speaks a lot of languages and has... read more a lot of knowledge about the village and the surroundings of Portobelo. He is originally from Europe, so he really understands the differences and similarities between cultures. We have experienced that he is patient, listens well and at the same time can think solution-based from our needs. He is willing to give you tips without immediately expecting something back. He gave us very good food suggestions which we really needed after one month of traveling with not always such good food. And some suggestions to visit small villages which you can’t find on your own. He has good connections with the local people. We did a combined trip where we went canoeing, hiking, chilling and snorkeling at a private beach. The day after we went hybrid snorkeling. That was stunning. Francesco has a very nice pace; he knows when to go slower and when to speed up. He was an incredible, enjoyable and helpful guide to us. We have booked our tours with him and will recommend to everyone to do this as wel. Our stay in Portobelo felt like we where visiting friends mainly because of Francesco and Camilla who where the nicest people and the best guides!

Had a wonderful kayaking experience with Francesco, Dario, an their adorable furry companion in Portobelo. We kayaked around the beautiful bay learning about its great history while Francesco regaled us... read more with tales of pirates and gold. From there we kayaked through the beautiful mangroves learning about their importance and biodiversity. After bidding farewell to kayaks, we hiked along a path through forest searching for howler monkeys before arrive at a secluded beach. It was wonderful.

We arrived via sailboat to the beautiful Portobelo Bay, and did the "Three activities tour" with Dario. There were 4 adults and 5 kids in our group. It was such... read more an incredible experience! He was so good with the kids, keeping them entertained while teaching them about the rich history, culture and ecosystems in this special place. Kayaking through the mangroves was magical, followed by a hike through the jungle (where we saw monkeys!) and finally, a swim at a beautiful, secluded beach. You can't visit Portobelo without a tour with these guys. It was unforgettable.

My husband and I decided to take a kayaking trip in Portobelo bay in Panama. We searched online and came across Panamore which said they provided private tours which included... read more kayaking, hiking through a swamp forest and rain forest and then a private beach. It had only a couple of reviews but was so cheap (only about $45 per person).
On the day of the tour, we were picked up by a taxi, arranged by Panamore (paid $150) that drove us from Panama city to Portobelo bay. There, at a local restaurant, we met Francesco, the tour guide (I think he owns the restaurant too). We had never been kayaking before, but had the most amazing experience that we're looking forward to doing it again. We kayaked for about and hour through the bay and then through a swamp forest. We left the kayak and went hiking with rubber boots provided by Francesco. After about an hour of hiking we arrived at a beautiful private beach where we were even provided with snorkeling gear. We spent about two hours there and were taken back to where we had started with a beautiful speedboat ride.The entire trip Francesco told us about history and culture, showed us things and kept us company.
After getting back, we cleaned up in the bathroom there which wasn't the best bathroom but was okay I guess . We then had lunch at the restaurant (it was so good! Cost about $20 each) and were taken back to our hotel with the same taxi driven by Luis.
Overall, it was an incredible trip and Francesco is an amazing tour guide. We highly recommend it to anyone travelling to Panama. This is one activity you have to do!
