This was an enjoyable,...

Published on Apr, 2025

This was an enjoyable, free flowing visit to the Canal and to old Panama City. I was completely out of it after a red eye from Chile, but Ricardo was very engaging and knowledgeable and I had a good time.

The perfect Panama layover tour

Published on Mar, 2025

Perfect layover tour. Was personalized for our schedule, Dan is the perfect tour guide, and we spent 4+ hours site seeing without worrying for a minute about logistics.

Great tour experience

Published on Mar, 2025

If you’re visiting Panama City, this tour is an absolute must! Dan, our guide, was fantastic — not only knowledgeable and engaging, but also a true photographer at heart. He took the most stunning, Instagram-worthy photos at every stop, capturing the beauty of the city in ways we could never have done on our own. The tour itself was well-paced, giving us a perfect mix of history, culture, and amazing views. Highly recommend this experience to anyone looking to explore Panama City in style and leave with incredible photos to share! Five stars all the way!

Tour of casco viejo and the canal

Published on Feb, 2025

Kevin was very knowledgeable and a very safe driver. The tour of the casco viejo was great and the tour and transportation fit well during an 8-hour layover in Panama

Ricardo was the best. Very informative, great knowledge of the city and country. Explained the canal operation in detail. Pointed out all the great places in the city. Curious and polite. A gentleman in every way.
