No-show driver
After our flight arrived in Panama City on schedule as planned. After going through customs and picking up our luggage, we looked for the driver who supposed to have a plaque with our name on it. We saw other drivers in the area doing that we went outside and looked up anddown the row of taxis and waited approximately a half an hour or more, but the driver was a no-show. About a half hour or so after that when we were in the other Taxi, we had to pay for he called us to find where we were. This was well over an hour after he was supposed to pick us up and he was rude and hung up on us.
Response from the operator: Clarification regarding our meeting point and your arrival Dear Bruce, Thank you for your feedback. We are sincerely sorry for the confusion during your arrival at Tocumen International Airport. Our goal after 13 years in business is always a seamless "meet and greet," and we regret that we missed each other on this occasion. We would like to provide some context for you and future travelers to ensure a smooth pickup. At Panama City Airport, authorized private transfers like Amber Moon meet passengers inside the terminal, immediately after you exit baggage claim/customs. Our drivers stand right by the flight arrival boards with a clear sign featuring the passenger's name. Based on our records and the GPS data from that day: Location: Our driver was waiting at the designated indoor arrivals area (as noted in your voucher and the instructions sent the day before). Unfortunately, it seems you headed outside to the general taxi lanes, which is a different area from where private pre-booked drivers are permitted to wait. I noticed you did not connect to the airport WIFI, because we got your email just after you arrived to your Hotel. Verification: To ensure accountability, our drivers take a photo of the welcome sign in front of the flight arrival board and keep their parking tickets. We have verified that our driver was in position and waiting for your flight's arrival. The Phone Call: When the driver realized you weren't in the arrivals hall, he called to locate you. We apologize if the tone of that call felt rushed; our drivers are often anxious to find their guests amidst the airport crowd. Excellence & Fairness: Because we value our reputation and our customers' satisfaction above all else, we have already processed a full refund for your booking. Even though our driver was present and on time, we never want a guest to feel unsupported. We are widely known for being "easy to locate," and we invite any future travelers to check our detailed meeting instructions in their confirmation emails. We would love the opportunity to provide you with the true Amber Moon experience next time you visit Panama. Safe travels,

Used service to get to cruise port in Colon from Tocumen airport. Easy to arrange and the driver was great. He spoke excellent English and pointed out points of interest along the way

Transport to Colon? Ask for Manuel.
We hired Amber Moon Panama Taxi Service to transport us from a downtown Panama City hotel to the Colon cruise terminal. We booked them the day before and they were able to accommodate us by having their driver Manuel drive us there on January 31. Manuel was excellent. On time. A careful driver. Great command of English. An interesting individual who providing us lots of Panamanian history and insight during our 1 hour + ride to Colon. Excellent staff at the company and a smooth booking process. Reasonably priced. Ask for Manuel. You won't be disappointed. Robert & Colette London Canada.

Private Transfer Tocumen International Airport - Colon Cruise Port or Hotel: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Panama City.
How much does Private Transfer Tocumen International Airport - Colon Cruise Port or Hotel cost?
+
Prices start at $14 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Panama City usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Private Transfer Tocumen International Airport - Colon Cruise Port or Hotel take?
+
Plan for about 2 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Panama City is not rushed.
Is Private Transfer Tocumen International Airport - Colon Cruise Port or Hotel worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 58 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.3/5 across 9 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Panama City, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Private Transfer Tocumen International Airport - Colon Cruise Port or Hotel?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Private Transfer Tocumen International Airport - Colon Cruise Port or Hotel suitable for kids and families?
+
The operator sets a minimum age of 1. Older children generally do well here, and families should factor in the 2-hour running time when deciding.
How far in advance should I book Private Transfer Tocumen International Airport - Colon Cruise Port or Hotel?
+
Around 3 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Panama City can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Panama City and add a light layer if any part of the 2-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Private Transfer Tocumen International Airport - Colon Cruise Port or Hotel start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Panama City within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Panama City?
+
On Outty we rank every Panama City experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Tour to a waterfall and Embera village with lunch included, Panama City Visit an Indian town Embera and waterfall with lunch, Ocean to Ocean Combo: Canal Boat Safari, Agua Clara & Gatun Locks. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Panama City?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Panama City?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
