Laquanda_T, February 2026

The driver was extremely patient with us in how long it took to get out of the airport after landing. We were meet at the airport exit with our name on the sign. Not sure of our drivers name but he drove safely and was very funny.

Gerd_P, February 2026

The driver was on time and very friendly we arrived safely with no issues. Good experience overall highly recommended.

2.0 Not what we were expecting

Janice_O, January 2026

Booked this as we prefer to take private transport to and from the airport when we go to a new country. The gentleman who picked us up was very nice and was driving a minibus. But the seatbelts didn’t work and the dashboard was lit up like a Christmas tree. For the return trip however, we were picked up in a tiny car. The trunk would only fit our checked bags so our carryons had to be stacked in the front seat and we had to hold our backpacks in our laps. It was a very uncomfortable ride and we feel we would have been better off just taking an Uber.

Response from Host, January 2026

Thank you for sharing your experience, and we apologize if the service did not fully meet your expectations. For the arrival transfer, a bus was assigned. During this service, the dashboard warning lights were caused by a technical issue related to a fuse. We apologize for this inconvenience and would like to confirm that the issue has already been reviewed and resolved. For the return transfer, as the reservation was for two passengers, a sedan vehicle was assigned, which is normally sufficient for this number of travelers. Vehicle assignments are based on the number of passengers confirmed in the booking. In cases where extra or oversized luggage is being transported, it is important to inform us in advance so we can arrange a larger vehicle and apply the corresponding costs for special requests. We regret any inconvenience caused and appreciate your feedback, as it helps us improve our processes and enhance the passenger experience.

5.0 Excellent communication...

Joshua_E, January 2026

Excellent communication by the company. They arrived early even though our flight arrived earlier than expected. Provided a full van to transport family and luggage. Highly recommended.

2.0 OMG....Car Air Fresheners are too strong and too many

Willie_W, January 2026

Transportation arrived on time and was visible upon airport pickup and was early on the return trip from the hotel. PROBLEM....the car was overwhelming with air fresheners it was horrible for us. Passengers allergies and medical conditions should be considered before using several overpowering air fresheners in the car. It was terrible this appears to be a problem throughout PANAMA, because this was not the only time we experienced this while riding in transportation. I do not recommend having to hang your head outside the window of the car just to be able to ride to your destination.

Response from Host, January 2026

We sincerely appreciate you sharing your experience and are glad to know that the transportation service was punctual both upon arrival and on the return trip. We are very sorry that the use of air fresheners was uncomfortable for you. In Panama, as a tropical country with high humidity levels, transportation vehicles commonly use air fresheners in a moderate way to help control odors and humidity, ensuring a clean and pleasant environment for most passengers. We fully understand that every passenger is different and that what may be pleasant for some may not be for others, especially in cases of allergies or specific medical conditions. For this reason, it is very important that any allergy, sensitivity, or special requirement be communicated in advance, as we are not always aware of these conditions unless they are reported beforehand. We take this type of feedback very seriously and use it to continue improving our services. We appreciate your observation, as it helps us strengthen our communication protocols with passengers, always with the goal of providing a comfortable and safe experience for everyone. Thank you again for your comments and for trusting our services.

5.0 Good Service and Attention

Carlos_E, August 2025

Excellent Service and attention.,eñOur. Flight was delayed and we arrived late and were waiting to transfer to our hotel

3.0 Poor business practices

Tenesia_R, August 2025

Booked travel for my family of 12. I put in my hotel upon booking and was confirmed via whatapp the next day. Only while already on my flight did I get a text saying my hotel was outside the city center and they would have to charge me additional fees. It sounded like a scam but I we already landed with a large group so I was left with no choice but to still use them. I'll give them a little leeway since I did book last minute but first thing they should have done before texting the confirmation was check the destination. They did text saying the driver was there. The airport lost a bag and the driver did wait an hour for us to resolve the issue. The bus was a little dated but decent and the A/C was good. Extremely disappointed with how they do business but appreciative of the driver's patience and getting us to our destination.

Response from Host, August 2025

Dear Customer, First and foremost, we would like to sincerely thank you for your feedback and offer our most sincere apologies for any misunderstanding that may have occurred. Your opinion is very important to us, as it helps us continuously improve the information we provide to our travelers. It is important to note that not all hotels are located within the urban area of Panama City. Specifically, for hotels located in Playa Bonita, the platform clearly states that the reserved service does not apply to that area and that a different booking code is required for transfers to or from this location. This information is also detailed in the confirmation voucher sent after completing the reservation. According to our records, your request was submitted on August 2nd, and we provided a response on August 3rd at 12:56 p.m., within our established response period and prior to your flight’s arrival, which was scheduled for August 4th. Your reservation was also scheduled to begin on August 4th at 2:00 p.m., and we were not informed that you would be arriving a day earlier, which would have required separate coordination. We deeply regret any inconvenience this situation may have caused. However, we believe it is important to clarify that using terms such as “scam” does not accurately reflect the facts, as the service coverage details were clearly provided both before and after the booking was made. That said, we truly appreciate your kind words about the attention received from our team. We are pleased to know that our staff provided quality service, as customer care and satisfaction are always our top priority. Should you have any further questions or need assistance, we remain at your full disposal and would be happy to help you on any future trip to Panama.

1.0 Rough ride

Alecia_M, February 2025

Rough ride to our resort. A couple of people in our group got sick from the trip. Ended up canceling our return to the airport to try a different company instead.

Response from Host, March 2025

Thank you very much for your collaboration. Our clients' opinions are very important to us, they help us improve our services. We apologize for what happened, but it is the first time that we have received a comment of this nature. Please, if you can be more precise about what happened for us to find a solution, since we do not understand how they got sick from a 40-minute transfer, especially if they were all young passengers.

Barbara_P, January 2025

I told them I needed a van to transport my husband's wheelchair and our luggage...they sent a small car. They did give us another car right away.

Response from Host, January 2025

First of all, thank you very much for your comment. We apologize since the vehicles are assigned per person and in your case there were two, it was not understood that it was a wheelchair. In these cases, other vehicles are used, so they maintain additional costs. Since it was our responsibility not to have seen your observation, you were not charged, and a solution was immediately given to locate another vehicle for your transfer.

5.0 Great Service

Michael_B, January 2025

Great customer service Was met at airport… easy pickup Smooth ride Great conversation Driver was very professional

Response from Host, January 2025

First of all, we would like to sincerely thank you for sharing your feedback and rating our services. Your opinion is a valuable reference for other passengers and motivates us to continue offering the best possible experience.

3.0 Vehicle Not Matching Photo

viper52, January 2025

Our Transfer was fine, but the vehicle shown in the picture is not what we got. The photos show a white van. We got picked up at the airport in an old/loud 15 passenger tour bus. Same bus for airport drop off.

Response from Host, January 2025

First of all, thank you very much for leaving your comment, this helps us to correct and see what we can improve. Please could you tell me the date on which your transfer took place so that I can follow up on what equipment was used.

4.0 Transportation ok but won’t message back to confirm so be ready to have to hound them for confirmation

Catherine_H, December 2024

Pickup at the airport went great. Person was at the spot at the time with a sign with our name on it. I’m only giving four stars due to the hiccups getting the return trip. I booked the two way transfer but I had no contact from them. I reached out three times over four hours the day before to finally get the pickup set up. Day of I reached out on WhatsApp to make sure they were coming - no response at all. They showed up right on time so it was ok just really stressful.

Response from Host, January 2025

Thank you for this comment, this helps us evaluate our staff and ensure that this does not happen again.

1.0 Unprofessional Service!!

nursevalentine, August 2024

This was the worst experience I have ever had with a transfer ever!! Upon arrival at the airport and going to the Fascinating Adventures Travel booth, I had to wait 30mins for my ride. I was picked up in a beat-up car that appeared to be an employee's personal car. The gentle man was very nice. But it definitely, was not one of the nice vans that are advertised. I paid for a round-trip transfer. I changed my return day to a day earlier. I called Fascinating Adventures and sent a written request as was recommended upon my call to the company. I was told that it was taken care of and that I would receive a email confirmation. I never received written confirmation and could never reach anyone again by phone. I have to pay another company to provide transportation to the airport.

Response from Host, August 2024

First, thank you very much for leaving your opinion, it is very important for the company because thanks to you, we can correct all our faults. The photos are some of the equipment we handle, but we use other equipment, depending on the number of passengers we are receiving, in this case it was a sedan and not an SUV. Regarding the case of the pick-up, it is very important to make the changes in advance, especially if the change is a day before and during office hours, since we must guarantee to be able to organize it in advance, because we work with a service logistics already organized, according to our reservations. We apologize.

5.0 Exceptional

On-time and easy pick-up at the airport with a straight away to our hotel after a late evening arrival from the U.S. And, our return to the airport a few days later had to be rescheduled for earlier due to political protests.
