Nice!

Published on May, 2025

The guide was amazing. A very worth full experience to know the canal and the old city. I could experience Panama in 5 hours

Worth every penny

Published on Apr, 2025

I highly recommend this experience! It was truly exceptional. We were conveniently collected from our hotel and warmly welcomed by our amiable guide, Dan. Dan was remarkably knowledgeable and personable, familiar with all the unique locations and optimal photo opportunities throughout the city. The private tour made us feel well taken care of and at ease, allowing us to tailor the day according to our interests and pace. By the end of the day, when we were returned to our hotel, we felt we had seen and achieved a great deal.

Canal and old town was great

Published on Apr, 2025

The tour was first class and the tour guide, Dan, was awesome. The canal was great to visit and the old town was excellent to see the different sites

Excellent view of the Canal and Panama City

Published on Mar, 2025

Ricardo was a very informative guide and showed me all the best spots in Old Town. The Canal tour showed me a cargo ship transiting the Miraflora locks and there was a very informative IMAX movie in 3D afterwards.

A Definite Must-Do-Tour!

Published on Mar, 2025

Dan was our guide and made the tour so enjoyable! He met us at our hotel in an air conditioned, super comfy van and we started with the Panama Canal. We gave us valuable information related to the Canal and its history and allowed us to stay as long we wanted. The tour then took us to Amador Causeway and amazing views of the city and four islands. We then headed to Casco Viejo and he took us on an amazing walking tour. This guy knows everyone in the city, it seemed. He took us to places we would not have seen on our own. Offering to take pictures and videos to remember our time. This was one of the highlights of our time in Panama City! We scheduled it for our first full day and it was a great way to get our bearings and decide how we wanted to spend the rest of our time. We took an afternoon tour and it lasted all of five hours. You won’t be disappointed with this tour!
