Panama Travel Guides (Updated September 2026)

I had a wonderful time. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable, even getting around the traffic downtown, LOL! Plenty of opportunities for photos, to grab a quick bite to eat if needed, and to see some hidden historical landmarks that you wouldn't see otherwise unless you are already in the old city. I particularly enjoyed the IMAX portion of the Milflores lock and got to see a large ship pass through it. Give yourself about 5 hours for the entire tour and wear comfy shoes, as there is quite a bit of walking in the old city, but it's worth it.

Great trip to see the animals on Gatun Lake and the Nee Panama Canal on the Atlantic side. Noris was a wonderful guide

Bang for your buck. Definitely worth doing as it’ll give you a taste of Panamá, I highly recommend this tour. Great tour guide also, very knowledgeable and helpful. Would do it again.

We had an incredible day exploring the city and Miraflores lock with our tour guide Jorge. From the very start, he was warm, punctual, and incredibly knowledgeable. Instead of just reciting dry historical facts, he brought the local culture to life with fascinating stories, personal insights, and great humor. He also customized the pace to suit our small group, making sure everyone felt comfortable and engaged. If you are looking for an unforgettable experience, do not hesitate to book a tour with them!

Alide was a very good guide !! We very enjoyed the tour

Naidi was such a great host!!!!

Excellent tour. Excellent communication in advance. A very friendly and informative guide providing a great overview of the sites included.

John was knowledgeable, professional, and made the tour a great experience. The tour was reasonably priced, the lunch was excellent, and I loved the eco-friendly focus. We had plenty of time to explore and enjoy the beautiful scenery without feeling rushed. I finished the day with dinner at El Nacional, and the food was A+! Highly recommend John and this tour! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Absolutely recommend the tour, it was great and fun! Our guide John was an absolute blast and pleasure to have on our tour, I highly recommend this guide.

The route was very well planned and we saw plenty of awesome views of the city! Carlos was awesome and very knowledgeable about Panama and its history!

Great experience! Stefan was a wonderful guide, very knowledgeable!

Very informative and fun experience. The guide and driver were great. Really appreciated that the guide did not bring the monkeys on the boat as the other tours were doing.

Our guide was outstanding. He walked us through the entire process of organic coffee harvesting and roasting, and we even got to roast and take home our own bags of coffee.There is such care in farming the coffee ethically and gently, in paying fair wages for workers, and in innovating ways to use the whole coffee cherry. I was inspired, and now I am also a bit buzzed from all the samples.

A+ tour. Dennis is a great tour guide. Shared a lot of history of his beautiful country of Panamá. Dennis communicated with us a day before to confirm pick up location and time. This is a must do tour if this is your first time in Panamá.

Dennis was great!!! Very friendly and knowledgeable. He made us feel comfortable and safe as we travelled throughout the city. I highly recommend this tour.

A great way to see main touristy spots , ie Panama Canal. Hotel pick up is wonderful and appreciated 🌸
