Fantastic Private Panama Canal Tour with Jose – Highly Recommend!

Published on Apr, 2025

We had an excellent private tour of the Panama Canal this past Friday, and Jose was the perfect guide. Even though many places were closed for Good Friday, he still managed to give us an incredible experience. Jose was punctual, professional, and full of knowledge about the Canal and Panama’s history. He took the time to show us key parts of Panama City, sharing local insights and pointing out interesting spots along the way. His passion for his country really came through, and he made the whole tour feel personal and engaging. If you’re looking for a great private tour in Panama, ask for Jose. You won’t be disappointed!

Comprehensive tour of Panama City

Published on Apr, 2025

Excellent tour! Our guide was very flexible about scheduling a time for the tour. He was very knowledgeable about Panama and we were impressed with how much we learned in a short time. We love private tours because we can hear better, ask questions, and really see the parts of an area that interest us most. First stop was the Miraflores Center. Our guide made sure to get us there at the right time for the English version of the IMAX movie. Highly recommend because it shows and explains what you see at the Canal. Again, our guide provided excellent details about the Canal history and operation. Our guide then took us to a wonderful vantage point for seeing an overview of Panama. Finally we drove through the old parts of Panama City. Our guide provided recommendations for what to see and do there. Great tour!

Viva Panama Pura Vida!!!!

Published on Mar, 2025

Our guide Rick was friendly and personable l. He has a rich knowledge of of the country of Panama and the city of Panama City. He planned out our day perfect And we were able to see so much in a relatively short amount of time. He saved the Panamá Canal for last as most ships pass through during the afternoon. He took us to a more affordable souvenir shop to help us save money as well. You won’t be disappointed with him.

Excellent experience!
