“I highly recommend using Inge and Luis's shuttle service. I arranged shuttle transport from Panama City to Santa Catalina months in advance and Inge was so responsive via email, I almost couldn't believe it.
She was professional and gave me good advice on how long to expect the ride to be. We used their services both ways. Luis is a fantastic driver, never mind a wonderful person, and fun to talk to over the long drive. And the coffee shops were a highlight.
The shuttle was comfortable and well maintained and Luis knows the roads like the back of his hand.
I appreciated how flexible they were in changing the pick up time as well
I couldn't give a higher recommendation than this. 5 stars!!!!!"

"Very professional and easy experience!
Luis, our driver, was waiting at the airport for us upon arrival with water and cool sodas to enjoy on our trip from Panama City to Santa Catalina. Was promptly on time for our pick up back to Panama City as well and even accommodated our requests for stops at the grocery store and for coffee !
The service was also very communicative and seamless! Would 100% recomend"

“As a new solo female traveler I still feel a little nervous. Luis was at the airport early waiting for me and made the entire trip to Santa Catalina and back to Panama City so comfortable.
Inge was so great with communication and Luis made me feel safe both ways of the trip. Very professional and the shuttle was incredible clean and comfortable.”
