The tour was excellent from start to finish. John and Victoria were very knowledgeable. A great way to get an overview of the country if you aren’t sure yet where you want to be plus learn about everything you could possibly want to know about relocating to Panama. The hotels were all beautiful and the food! Each restaurant went out of their way to provide impressive meals. Would highly recommend to anyone thinking of relocating.
I went to learn about Panamá, gain information about the different provinces, types of actual rentals. The guided were very knowledgeable. The food amazing, we stayed in a variety of hotels. Friendships made,. They did not disappoint with their knowledge the country they now call home. The real estate agents they are affiliated with are awesome. Knowledgeable about their province, and what they have available at any given time.
If you are considering moving to Panamá, take the tour, you will not be disappointed.

I got home from tour #304 last weekend and besides being great, it gave me all the tools I need to move forward with my relocation dream. It was also a lot! A lot of movement, a lot of information but also a lot of fun and new friends. This is not a vacation so don’t expect a lot of free time to go off and explore.
From the time you are picked up at the airport until the following Friday when you are flown back down to the city (if you choose) you are in PRT’s hands and well taken care of. We met with 2 immigration attorneys, realtors in different cities/towns and saw the types of apartments that are available in those areas as well as hearing expats tell us their stories. But more than that, our time on the bus was not wasted. There was a topic agenda every day and we got the complete scope of what it took to get ourselves, our families our pets and our packages into Panama. The food along the way was good, a few meals were really great and memorable. Sometimes I wish I had picked a different entree and my only complaint here would be, I wish we had more vegetables that came with our meals. I also wish we had eaten more Panamanian dishes. But I recognize that feeding 29 people 3 meals a day isn’t always easy.
I stayed a few days after the trip to see Panama City. That was really good for me as I got to check things out at my own pace but also got to be a tourist. I would recommend that people spend a day or two on the front or back end of the tour if they have the ability. It gave me the opportunity to fall in love with Panama outside of the tour.
A shout out to John, Victoria and Becky for their never ending need to herd us all and the in depth knowledge they constantly imparted, to Humberto for picking me up and coordinating my ride back to the airport, Jorge for keeping us moving in traffic that was crazy to me, and to Jackie for setting up a program that I would not have been able to easily figure out on my own.
For anyone wondering if this is worth it, YES.

Visited Panama for the first time ever in September on Relocation Tour # 304 with guides John, Victoria, Becky and excellent bus driver Jorge. They all clearly worked hard to make sure that everything and everyone was taken care of, no easy feat in a locale where the pace of work and life move more slowly than in North America. It was a good introduction to a cross section of the country from east to west and from upscale to budget priced areas. My wife and I were fortunate to have met many wonderful people on the trip, both expat and Panameno. We found the locals to be very welcoming and were impressed with the infrastructure in Panama. The trip filled in some of the gaps in my research and the stories from the guides were helpful in understanding challenges one may face in making a move to the country. Although we will return to explore a few other locations before we settle on a favored spot, I think the tour was money well spent.
My wife and I took the tour which lasted a week and are now taking steps to apply for our pensionado visas. I have looked at a bunch of other companies’ Youtube videos and Facebook posts and I want to say as loud and clear as I can – look here and book here. Over the years, Panama Relocation Tours has developed one-stop source for all you need to evaluate Panama and once you move to Panama a guide to get the services you need. These companies may all look the same but here’s the difference, and you can see it for yourself. When this company Panama Relocation Tours makes a recommendation, it’s because it’s good for YOU. Too often when other companies make a recommendation it’s because it’s good for THEM. Look for yourself. Look at the tone of recommendations made here. For example, many companies who make recommendations for real estate agents, visa lawyers, mechanics, and drivers will recommend the highest bidder who pays the best kickback. This company does not take kickbacks! If they recommend a lawyer it’s because they have checked out the lawyer and they ask their clients for their feedback. They negotiate fees for the group. If a lawyer’s clients start saying to PRT that the lawyer didn’t pay close attention, or was too busy for them – they are scratched from the vetted list. Not a dollar changes hands to get on the list. One thing gets you on the PRT list: Quality and integrity. If the quality drops – they get dropped from the list. Also PRT is not trying to sell you knick-nacks. They get paid from their tour fees. As the Apostle John says in another context, test the spirit. You can even ask the other companies – do they get paid a fee for recommending this real estate agent or this landlord. Often you can tell from the tone of their comments. I have been on this group’s Facebook page for a period of time and consistently all I see is integrity. And when you’re making life decisions, and you are trusting your future to professionals in a new country, you need to know that they are honest. Honesty is what you find here. The tour was a gas and very informative. It was candid – the bad with the good. It was worth it. Also, you get access to their private Facebook page, and here’s what is unique about it: No harassment, no sarcasm is allowed – or the customer gets booted! What you find on the Facebook page is a quality community of helpers. On other lists you too often find sarcasm – why did you ask such a stupid question? Everybody knows that, are you that stupid? The owner watches the comments and people get warned. This group is a culture of encouragement. So the online community of several thousand people is pure gold, and the online directory is pure good. And you make friends on these tours, and at the meetings all over the country, with helpful people. I am not saying that no one else operates with integrity. But watch and be aware. And I strongly sqy – you can trust this company. And nobody’s giving me a dime for saying so!
I loved this tour. It is one of the best investments I made for myself. I went with two friends and my brother. We all loved the tour and plan to move to Panama. I would also like to give a shout out to the guides on tour # 303. Thank you to Jolynn, J, Michele and Janice. You did an excellent job keeping us together and informed. Everyday was exciting and fun.
My name is NPL and my tour was #304. I was in Panamá, Boquete. This trip was one of my dream vacations. I planed this trip three years ago when I first heard about PRT. I went with an open mind, wonder, anticipation and excitement. I just returned home from my tour on Friday 9/29/25. Your tore went all over Boquete which is a beautiful country. We had amazing accommodation throughout our travels. I met wonderful people from all over the US and Canada. I would like to thank Jackie for opening this lifetime opportunity for all to experience. Our tour guides John, Victoria and Becky
thank you for your vast knowledge of your beautiful country. I would like to thank John for his kindness when he came to my aid when I discovered that Distilled Water for my CAPA machine is not a staple in the grocery store or in all pharmacy’s he shared some of his with me at my panic moment. He and Victoria went a step further they assumed me they would find me what I needed the next day and to my surprise they did. Thanks to John and Victoria for your kindness. And last but not least I would like to give a special thanks to Jorge for your amazing driving skills.
Thank your PRT team!

The 300th PRT tour was outstanding. Our tour guides, John Veillon and Victoria Steichen were very professional, approachable, and helpful. Both were very knowledgeable about the country of Panama and relocating to Panama. They shared some of their personal experiences, which made them relatable. My favorite thing about Panama was the consistent weather. I enjoyed being able to go outside everyday, not having to check my weather app to see if I needed a sweater, jacket or coat for the day.
I also liked touring the rental properties in a variety of locations. This provided insight into the types of rentals Panama has to offer along with the associated rental fees.
I did have some safety concerns with the walkways at the last hotel we stayed at which could be hazardous, especially for seniors. In addition, I would have preferred to spend another day in Panama City to see more of it, tour some of the neighborhoods along with additional condos and homes. Perhaps the tour time spent in Boquete and Panama City could be more balanced.
Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed myself, learned a lot about Panama, ate good, and left Panama with a smile on my face. Thanks to the PRT Team who were involved with making the 300th Tour a success.

Overall the tour was excellent. It was well planned and the itinerary was followed. This is the best way to get an overview of the entire country of Panama.
The guides were very knowledgeable and a huge anoint of information was presented.
Jorge, our bus driver, is a master at maneuvering the giant tour bus through some very narrow streets.
The restaurants were all good. A couple were great! You will not go hungry on this tour!
My criticism would be that there is almost no down time. It would have been nice if for a short time each day the bus could have been quiet be or at least the tour guides could have let the microphone rest.

My husband And I are just returning from PRT tour #304. Our guides were Victoria John and Becky, who shared their knowledge and personal experiences regarding relocating to Panama. This is not a scenic tour, your head will swim (in a good way) with all the details of an international move.
We toured rental properties, met other ex pats stories and real estate agents,, ate at local restaurants and overall good a really good idea of what life would be like living in Panama.
My husband and I are not sure if we will relocate permanently to Panama but as of now, we do plan to come back and stay a few months.
Many thanks to our amazing guides, this tour couldn’t have been better!

The tour is worth every dime in that the information is accurate, accessible and the tour is unbelievably organized. The pack-your-bags-make-it-to-the-plane simple approach makes me want to do it all over :-). We were whisked away on an excursion that settled our hearts and changed our lives. Thank you so much PRT. Family “forever”!
I used the guide to identify a lawyer that I thought would work well in helping me get a Pensionado Visa.
In one of her updates a few months ago, Jackie added a new lawyer in Boquete. Just Wednesday of this week with the lawyer in the immigration office with me, I received my temporary Pensionado Visa card!
I cannot say enough positive things about the attorney‘s work with me. I highly recommend Jackie’s online guide. The attorney she recommended made the entire process efficient and easy for me.
Thank you, Jackie!

My husband and I just returned from our Panama Relocation Tour and cannot recommend the tour enough. This in an information and destination packed tour beginning in Panama City and ending in the mountains of Boquete with many stops in-between. Our guides were informed on everything Panama and answered any questions we had. We were able to get a good feel for what it would be like to live in Panama City, the beach areas, and the mountains. We have looked at other countries and now know that Panama is definitely for us. Many thanks to Jackie for making this tour possible and for the valuable relocation guide. We also would like to thank our knowledgeable guides, Debbie & Chuck, and our excellent driver, Jorge. We highly recommend taking a Panama Relocation Tour!! You will not regret it!
Four years ago my husband and I were looking for information on Panama for our honeymoon. We came across Panama Relocation Tours and instantly realized that Jackie and her team are an immeasurable wealth of knowledge when it comes to all things Panama.
We went on our honeymoon in 2022 and knew that this would be the place we would retire to after just 2 weeks in the country.
In 2024 we purchased the Online Guide. What a well thought out reference guide. It truly is a step by step outline of what it needed to retire in this amazing country.
Because of the guide we confidently found our immigration attorney and started the process in November of 2024. The guide saved us so much time and a boat load of money.
In March of 2025 our minds were blown again when we went on the Tour. The tour guides were awesome. They did not shy away from any questions and shared their own experiences with us. There would be no way that my hubby and I could have planned this great a tour of the country.
In 7 days we visited one end of the country to the next. (Shout out to Jackie’s driver who made us feel safe the whole way). The number of cities, the rental properties, and the food (ohhh that food never stopped coming) were much more than we could have ever imagined or expected.
By the time we left Panama we had learned a lot about the country, the culture, and we had out temporary visas and driver’s licences in hand.
None of this would be possible without the help of Jackie and her team. We owe the PRT crew an enormous debt of gratitude.

Panama Relocation Tours is truly the only company that is going to give you the insider intel into Panama. Jackie’s dedication to helping others learn if Panama is the right place for them is second to none! I was just on PRT #285 (May 2025) and it was a fantastic trip. We had the pleasure of having Jalynn (sp?) and J as our guides and they were phenomenal. They are a great wealth of information and no question was too odd or too hard for them to answer. It’s so great to have guides who have been through moving to Panama after both of them had taken the tour. J’s story telling was so enjoyable and Jalynn had so many insider tips and kept us laughing! Both are so knowledgeable about Panama and both moved there (separately) after taking a PRT.
I’ve had the online guide for a few years since I had to cancel a trip during the pandemic and there is no guide that can come close to matching what Jackie and the team has put together. You get access to the guide normally once you complete your PRT trip. The trip was the icing on the cake to actually get boots on the ground and see so many places in one week. It helped me realize that Panama will be my choice for relocation once I am able to retire. The people are gracious and the country is beautiful.
It was such a great experience. If you are on the fence, just do it! You won’t regret it.

We already had our location and place to live when we came across Panama Relocation Tours. We bought the Online Guide to assist with all of the logistics for moving to Panama permanently. We have discovered that the “Guide” and the private Fb group that we have access to, are priceless!! Jackie and her team do an incredible job of making sure to keep us updated on any changes made to the guide. We have used her recommendations for how to get our documentation and paperwork together and we will be using her recommendations for “fixers” to help us with the last few things that we need to do! You will NOT be disappointed with this Guide that Jackie and her team work tirelessly to help us make our dreams a reality!!
We’re so glad we bought the online guide from PRT. We used lots of the info when we flew down to check out places to live. When we got home and started getting our documents, the guide and posts in the private FB group have been invaluable. We selected a recommended attorney who is a blessing in this process. We would have been lost without the valuable information, recommendations, and advice from Jackie and crew.
Panama Relocation Tours is one of a kind. They treat their clients like family and leave no stone unturned in constantly looking for ways to help their clients in the entire relocation process. The tour guides are fun, knowledgeable and professional at the same time. The owner, Jackie, is super responsive to any and all questions and concerns. She shares the good, the bad and the ugly not just the warm, fuzzy things about Panama. We would have never even considered Panama had it not been for the tour, the team and Jackie. Extremely customer service oriented company.
PRT community and guide have been invaluable resources when considering our future retirement in Panama. Than you!
We did not experience the all inclusive tour; we purchased the guide. It’s been invaluable for helping us to navigate our move to Panama. There’s no way we could have gone through the steps and found reliable contacts on our own.
Amazing group, Jackie Lange is a real star.. She makes moving to Panama easy and saves you a lot of problems & time. Highly recommend
An A+ act: The Panama Relocation Tours is a robust site that accomodates anyone needing information about what Panama has to offer for a major life changing event, that of retiring overseas. The tours are booked months out and they adjust needs by intercalating additional tours. The Online Guide offered by Panama Relocation Tours is an invaluable resource that is constantly updated with important information including changes in rules/ regulations/laws, medical facilities updates, and all the tools needed to insure a smooth transition in moving to Panama. The savings we have benefited from more than out weigh the aquisition cost; the cost is paltry compared to the never ending support provided by Jackie Lange of Panama Relocation Tours. Upon joining the group and acquiring the Online Guide I was able to join the FB Panama Relocation Tours Community which is another terrific resource with hundreds of peoples sage solutions to each and every question or concern we have had. I can say wholeheartedly that without the Panama Relocation Tours group we would not have been able to navigate our retirement to Panama with the ease and trust that we quickly gained of Jackie Lange and her group. If you want down to earth, straight answers join the group. 5 stars!
the guide has given us confidence in getting to know Panama. It is well written ,informative and loaded with critical info on every subject.The added bonus of a friendly FB group helps with extra questions . Well worth the money.
I purchased the Panama Relocation Tour online guide about 3 years ago as I wasn’t able to go on any of the tours. It has been a great investment in money and time. I used the online guide information to visit Bocas del Toro, Coronado, Chame and tour around Panama City. I have returned to Panama over the last 2 years. Now I am retired I’m relocating to this wonderful country. All this has been possible because of Jackie Lange and the PRT online guide. The guide assisted me with the Panama bus system as I travelled around the country. With the help of the guide I hired my immigration lawyer and am a Permanent Resident Visa of Panama. Jackie Lange and team are always updating the information in the guide so it’s not a one time buy and you end up with outdated and useless information. The guide has also helped me find an agent for apartment hunting, shipping information for my pet and a shipping company for my personal belongings. When I say that without the Panama Relocation Tour online guide and Jackie Lange diligence to make sure the information and the people and companies she recommends are correct and honest it would have made the challenge to relocate more than twice as difficult. If you are on the fence about buying the guide or going on one of the tours please get off the fence. An additional bonus to buying the guide or attending the tour is the private Facebook group. I have met quite a few people through the group and whenever I have a question or concern not only do I get helpful answers but Jackie Lange will give information on the subject. The group is monitor to make sure information is correct. Jackie Lange will also give updates to FB members. If you haven’t guessed by now not only do I recommend this company but I’m a fan of the PRT organization. They are organized, informed, knowledgeable and professional. I also recommend this company to my family and friends and that is a big deal for me. So buy the guide or take the tour and move to Panama 🇵🇦. The country is not only beautiful but the people are the secret sauce to this country.
The guide is SO worth the price. I’m in the process of moving to Panama, and pouring over the Guide plus watching the livestreams make me feel ever so much more confident. Plus Jackie responds to your emailed questions. You MUST get this if you are coming to Panama to live.
We purchased the PRT guide and its the bible for getting to know Panama and a step by step relocation process. Jackie Lange we cannot thank you enough for including Maury Miranda in the guide. As a tour guide she went above and beyond for us. We scheduled 3 days with her (Sunday- Tuesday). During that time we toured Boguete and Volcan. Her knowledge and experience she shared was priceless and greatly helped us narrow down our landing choices. She knows neighborhoods like the back of her hand and was responsive to questions off hours. We had scheduled a meeting with our attorney, Javier, for Monday and she adjusted the schedule to give us a quick tour of David. When Javier called to tells us our temp Pensionado visa would be ready on Wednesday (just took 3 days), Maury cleared her schedule and took us again to David to pick it up. Our whole visit was easy cause we followed the advice in the guide.
So seldom on this planet, do you find a company that strives for excellence. What I have discovered about Jackie and PRC is that it is making my dream come true by offering me genuine expert help. I’ve learned from the Facebook group, every time I write PRC Jackie, or someone answers me almost immediately, and let me just say finally I’m grateful beyond words. It was the best money I have spent in a long time to buy that guide and it is a dynamic tool that will serve me as I transition. I’m leaving April 30 to go to my new home!!!
Highly recommended if you are considering a move to Panama. The educational tools provide easy to use and accurate information.
There’s also an amazing community of people who are planning, or have already relocated that are very helpful and responsive.
The icing on the cake: NO politics.

I can’t imagine moving to Panama without this guide. It was recommended by someone on TikTok who “felt” credible. My intuition was right on. She stated that it was worth every penny and then some and I now agree. Even with that though, I was hoping this wouldn’t end up in the category of “Well, that was a waste of money!” but it was quite the opposite. It ended up in the “It’s already paid for itself!” category.
All questions that you have (and, like everyone else – you have many!) will be answered from both the guide itself (that is updated on a regular basis when needed) and the private FB community. In the private group, often there is often no need to even ask your question because someone else has beat you to it. The answer to most is just a search away. If it hasn’t been asked and answered, there will very likely quickly be multiple replies from people who can answer based on their experience – often sharing what they learned the hard way, so you don’t have to.
The contacts in the guide are vetted for honest business practices and updated as needed. This is where the guide pays for itself. I have peace of mind knowing that the attorneys, real estate agents, fixers, et al are credible and not price gouging vulnerable gringos, such as we are.
I don’t generally write reviews. I only do so when I feel very strongly that a product or service is everything it is advertised to be.
If you’re seriously considering moving to Panama, I guarantee you will only regret not buying the guide sooner!

Time well spent. You don’t get to see every unique spot in Panama, but you see so much more than you would on your own in 7-days. Beware, you might even gain 5 lbs if you are not careful.😀
We purchased the online guide about 8 months ago when we were exploring whether we wanted to move to Panamá. Since then, we did a primarily self guided 2 week tour of Panamá, used two recommended private tour guides in two different areas of the country, and worked with three different recommended realtors to find rental properties. We made our official move on March 23rd after connecting with a recommended attorney that helped us set up a corporation for the Friendly Nations Visa and do all the necessary paperwork. The guide helped us make sure we had everything done before we left the US to set up our Panamá bank account. While in Panamá City waiting for our temp Visa, we also used a car broker (recommended in the guide) to buy a car and we used a recommended fixer to get our drivers licenses. I can’t imagine trying to do any of that on our own or through our own fumbling online research.
Even beyond the online guide itself, I think my favorite benefit of the guide purchase is the private Facebook group. Even if I don’t post, the amount of knowledge we’ve gained from other people’s questions and answers has been invaluable. I was hesitant at first to spend the money for the guide, thinking I could figure it all out on my own. After thinking about all the resources we would be using and the negotiated rates Jackie has with guides, fixers, attorneys, etc, made me realize how much money I’d actually be saving by using the guide.

My husband and I were part of tour #245. I had never been out of the States before and tried to make this tour with an open mind. We had SO much fun. Our tour guides were John and Jerry and they were great. They were so knowledgeable and were open to the many questions from our tour friends. I think that was the most amazing thing to me—we actually became friends with many others on our tour. Our guides explained that their job was to give us as much of Panamá as possible in 7 days but NOT convince us that Panamá is the place for us. As a result of our tour, we decided we wanted to pursue the Pensionado Visa so we arranged all the necessary documents, had them shipped to the attorney we met during our tour and made a second trip to Panamá to begin that process. We recently returned to complete the process of obtaining our permanent visa and cedula. All has gone smoothly thanks to the tour and the on-line guide Jackie has made. Will we move to Panamá permanently? That’s a decision for the future but we will not even attempt it without following Jackie’s checklist!
Great tour full of fantastic information!
I would definitely recommend this tour to anyone!😁🤙🏼

Phenomenal information and truly care about their customers and friends highly recommend
The wealth of information available is amazing. The guide is constantly updated with the newest information and any questions are answered quickly. It is great and I could not recommend it enough. Kimala
Completed the tour a few weeks ago and am still processing all the great information. While everything was comfortable, food super, this was ” a working tour” focused on a realistic look at where, what and how to make a move. The guides were excellent, including the driver. And the group I travelled with was outstanding. Maybe it’s the people interested in relocating here? Highly recommend.
Money well spent and great time was had. Very informative and fun throughout. Bring your appetite, comfortable walking shoes, and enthusiasm for learning about the country.
It’s not easy organizing 30 travelers. Thank you John and Victoria for a great week in Panama and for sharing your knowledge and personal experience!
A few days ago, my husband and I returned from a private tour of Boquete, Panama by our wonderful Tour Guide, Maury. She was very knowledgeable and informative about the different areas, the different landmarks, best places to eat and shop. We loved shopping for fresh fruits, and vegetables at the open market and fresh baked goods at the bakery near our apartment. She made sure to point out all of the banks and ATMs available to us. She even patiently helped us with a digital wallet problem we encountered. We even had our laundry personally washed, dried and folded at LAVAMATICO Super Clean while we were on our tour. Maury has a great wealth of historical, and political information and also of current local news. She drove us all throughout the mountains and valley of Boquete to view the neighborhoods and homes in those areas. She took us to a few nearby pharmacies to inquire about availability of my immunosuppressive medications and also made phone contact with a couple of pharmacists regarding the same. Maury was so easy-going, personable and hospitable. We are very appreciative of the many resources provided by the Panama Relocation Tours (PRT). We recommend this service and Maury to anyone who is seriously looking to relocate to this wonderful place on the planet!! Now that we’ve seen Boquete for ourselves, we believe all that we’ve seen on the multitude of YouTube videos and articles provided by PRT, and are so ready to relocate. Thank you so much Jackie Lange, and Maury Miranda, you are the best. Have a great day; Yah Bless!!
PANAMA RELOCATION TOURS
Hola, My name is Theresa Wilkes and I am tourist from PRT 268.
Not sure where I should start other than to tell you that it was everything and more exceeding my expectations. I did this solo, after the passing of my partner. Gosh, I was overwhelmed and nervous and exhausted from my partner’s passing. BUT, I pushed on. Panama Relocation Tours put the step back into my life!
They showed me and gave me the tools to make my decision about my future. Was Panama right for me? Was I right for Panama?
I bought the guide ahead of time. Joined the PRT FCBK group. I found that there were many people, solo and couples; similar backgrounds: older & younger etc.
Our group , PRT #268 bonded. We laughed, we cried, we walked, we ate, we socialized, we took notes and compared notes, we even shared our contact info to keep in touch. We also did a WhatsApp group for PRT #268. Our guides Debbie and Chuck Klappa kept us going. As a tour they successfully take you from A to Z. You will discover the ins and outs; plus n minus of each location area of Panama.
Ahead of time, I was thinking Boquete or Volcan area, because of the weather. 60-75f, the breeze, the rainbows, the green lush land, the mountains.. so soothing.
Why Panama? Because of the peacefulness, the friendliness and the open arm acceptance of all. The US dollar is equivalent; eastern timezone; economy is great; cost of living is cheaper; life style is healthy;
weather weather is right for me!!
So, was the Panama Relocation Tour worth it to me?? YES!! Go ahead and book it for yourself …. You will be a part of a tour like no other.
Peace & Adventure,
Theresa Wilkes

Tour #264 met as strangers and left as family. The entire group instantly connected. Chuck and Debbi were fantastic. They were so knowledgeable and helpful. The guest speakers were amazing. And no one drives a bus quite like Jorge. The man has mad skills. Jackie is meticulous in the details and implementation of these tours. If you are planning a move to Panama, I highly recommend you take the Panama Relocation Tour. You will not be disappointed. Thank you Jackie Lange and all the wonderful people who work for you for such an awesome experience!
Tour 263. What a wonderful, educational tour with professional knowledgeable tour guides. I highly recommend taking the tour for anyone considering relocating to Panama.
FANTASTIC TOUR!! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!
I wanted to see if Panama would be for me. Jackie Lange has made it an amazing experience to take a tour and make that decision. I’m not much for tours normally. However, this tour changed my mind. The bus is clean, its air conditioned, it’s comfortable! Our tour guides on #258 in October were Debbi and Victoria! They were fantastic. They give you all the information you could ever need. Plus, they made it a lot of fun. The food in all the different restaurants was delicious! The fresh made pina colodas were wonderful! My friend is lactose intolerant, and even she was able to enjoy the Pina Colodas- they made one special for her without the cream! When Debbi talks about the fresh made Pina Colodas, you’ll get to see the Debbi dance! The Debbi dance still makes me laugh. Victoria went out of her way, helping me figure out how to find a place to rent. I needed no stairs, and I don’t speak Spanish very well yet. You dont need to know Spanish to take the tour. But do learn how to use Google translate it’s very helpful! Thank you for all your help, Victoria. Jorge, our bus driver is definitely a rock star! I don’t know how he makes it into the traffic and the little streets! But he does it and makes it look easy. He’s been with Jackie since the beginning. I highly recommend taking a tour! When you do, if you decide to move to Panama, I’ll see you there. I’m moving there early, 2025! I can’t wait to start my next adventure! Again, I can’t say enough wonderful things about this company and this tour! WHAT A FANTASTIC TOUR!

Tour 256 Debbie and Chuck were great! The tour was organized and informative. Our driver (I forgot his name☹️) was an amazing driver and kept us all safe!
We enjoyed visiting different areas in Panamá and seeing many properties that were available for sale or rent. The food selections were varied and delicious. Our accommodations were good, very clean, with friendly staff.

You will receive a vast amount of information in order to make an educated and individual decision whether to make Panama your retirement destination. Highly recommend the PRT. John and Victoria were awesome. And of course a big shout out to Jorge for getting us around.
Highly recommend this tour if you are considering Panama for a relocation. Extremely well organized, with much attention to detail. The hosts for our group were Chuck and Debbie and they made the entire tour organized, informative and light hearted.
I highly recommend Panama Relocation Tours (PRT) for those considering moving to the country of Panama or Panama is on your list of places to move to. PRT provided us with the opportunity to learn about the various locations throughout the country, experience the culture, and meet EXPATS to learn of their experiences. The tour guides, “J” and Jolynn, and bus driver, Jorge, made the tour fun, informational, and personal. I would like to thank Jackie, the founder and owner of PRT for her dedication to making our relocation seamless.
Great tour, packed full of relevant information for those looking to emigrate here. I quickly lost count of the number of pitfalls that ths tour has helped us avoid – and that’s before I really get into the guide itself. We were provided with great places to stay, wonderful food, and lots of information at just the right pace. Enormous thanks to our very well informed and entertaining guides John and Gerry, to Jorge for his mastery in the driving seat, and to the rest of Tour #240 for making this a really enjoyable as well as educational week.
My experience with Panama Relocation Tours has been extraordinary. No one is more dedicated to helping people relocate to Panama than the company founder Jackie Lange.
The tour itself is top-notch and a great first step to see the country when deciding if you want to make the move to Panama – you’ll travel from Panama City in the east, to Boquete in the western highlands with stops in-between at various communities providing exposure to the culture and different climates of the country. We stayed at first-rate hotels, ate at excellent restaurants, met with reputable attorneys and real estate agents, and ex-pats who willingly share their advice and experiences with moving to Panama. Stops are made at Panama Citys major hospital, shopping areas along the way, plus different properties such as apartments, condos, and houses to give you a feel for what is available. You’ll travel in a comfortable, air-conditioned tour bus with knowledgeable, personable guides. If they can’t answer a question, they will find the answer in short order.
But it’s more than the tour. Once you’ve completed the tour you are provided access to The Complete Panama Relocation Guide, a virtual bible of just about everything you need to know about moving to Panama: healthcare and insurances, getting visas, a drivers license, bringing your pets, banking, shipping your belongings, and this is only scratching the surface of what’s covered. Also provided are lists of vetted immigration and real estate attorneys, and private tour guides for when you revisit any community you may be considering. If they don’t maintain Jackie’s high standards, they are removed. Jackie also consistently updates the guide, making it as current as possible.
Not only is this guide available to you, you are given access to the PRT private Facebook page. Even if you’re not a fan of Facebook, this page is a great forum of over 4,500 members providing even more information as well as the opportunity to ask questions and connect with those just starting the process of moving to Panama, to those who have lived there many years.
But wait, there’s more! Proving Jackie’s dedication to helping people relocate, she holds a weekly online meeting which can be a question and answer session, or she may have guests such as insurance providers, visa attorneys, and the like.
Finally, once you make the move to Panama, there are frequent get-togethers of the PRT “family” throughout the country.
More and more it’s hard to find a company which takes such good care of its clients. Jackie Lange and Panama Relocation Tours is such a company.

We purchased the Panama Relocation Guide and it is absolutely invaluable. It is well worth the money. It guides you through the intricacies of relocating and proves trusted contacts. That is a gold mine. The fact that Jackie diligently keeps it up to date just goes on adding value. Don’t hesitate.
