I had a fantastic experience with Valley Guides and Ernesto from E-Valley Bike Tours. I found them online and connected with Ernesto via WhatsApp before my trip—he was incredibly helpful in planning my itinerary, even accommodating last-minute scheduling and responding late at night to confirm details. When I mentioned the tour price felt a bit steep, he generously included extra perks like restaurant recommendations, local tips, and even offered to lend me his ATV for free. My guide, Carlos, was excellent—knowledgeable, patient, and flexible, ensuring we had the perfect pace for our tour. Ernesto's passion for what he does truly shines through—he even offered to take me around town and invited me to his home for an authentic Panamanian experience. Though we didn’t get to meet in person due to his dog falling ill, we stayed in touch, and I truly appreciate his hospitality. I highly recommend E-Valley Bikes and Valley Guides for anyone visiting El Valle, and if you find yourself in Boquete, check out their bike store there as well!
