Toni was the best guide ever. He walked with us through Casco viejo and showed us everything. Out group was amazing. Definitely recommend

Gabriel our tour guide was excellence very knowledgeable about the history of Panama 🇵🇦 and surrounding area.. He went above and beyond to make our trip great 👍..

I had such a great experience on this tour! Everything was well organized from the hotel pickup to the different stops throughout the day. I really enjoyed visiting the Panama Canal, but Casco Viejo was definitely my favorite part. It was beautiful and had so much character and history. The tour was a great way to see different parts of Panama City, especially as someone traveling alone. I felt comfortable throughout the experience and I’m really glad I booked it. Gabriel was our guide and he was really nice, helpful and very informative, which made the experience even more enjoyable. I would definitely recommend this tour! ❤️🇵🇦

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.

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

Bravo to guide Gabriel and driver Rogelio for a memorable experience. Great communication, timely pickup and drop-off, and Gabriel’s impressive knowledge of all things Panama made for a wonderful day. The sunny sky was a bonus. Muchas gracias!

Omg Jose was incredible! The detail he knew about his city and his country was extraordinary. He molded the trip to meet our expectations. There are not enough positive adjectives to describe his skill. The canal and casco viejo were both absolutely amazing, breathtaking. Book these folks today!

Ronald was an amazing tour guide! He’s very friendly, knowledgeable and enjoys what he does. He took great care of us. Thank you, Ronald. 🙏 Highly recommend!

I took an afternoon tour with Gabriel to the Miraflores Locks, Amador Causeway and Casco Viejo. The whole tour was fabulous and a great way to see all three places. Gabriel not only provided information about the Locks, but also how its’ construction intertwines with the history of Panama. The visit to the Locks was timed perfectly for us to watch the IMAX film narrated by Morgan Freeman, which brought the history of the canal to life. Then we had enough time to get to the viewing area to watch a ship pass through. The Amador Causeway stop was 20 minutes and was all that was needed. The final part was Casco Viejo, again Gabriel gave us lots of information about all the key sites as well as the main history of Casco Viejo.His knowledge and enthusiasm made this tour extra special.

Carlos was an excellent guide. He took us to many hidden gems on the tour. It included a little bit of everything. We visited the canal and watch the IMAX movie. We visited Old Town Panama where we learned some history and did a bit of shopping. Kudos to Carlos for making our trip memorable!

Excellent service and communication Exceeded customer expectations.

This was beyond incredible! Gabriel and his dad are absolutely tremendous tour guides. Highly recommended!

I really enjoyed this trip with Gabriel. He made sure we were ahead of big crowds to get prime spots for viewing the canal, gave clear instructions on meet up times, anticipated rest stops. The tour included more than i had anticipated, we drove around parts of Panama City before our walking tour. Really enjoyable and very straightforward pickups with good communication.

The tour was amazing. Ronald spoke in both Spanish and English which was nice for someone like myself trying to learn and retain Spanish. It was a ridiculous amount of traffic but Ronald was smooth. Very interesting tour as well and nice to learn about the canal from a Panamanian perspective.

My tour guy Carlos was very knowledgeable and professional . He arrived at my hotel 10 minutes before the pickup time and start our day and a good mood. He even stop at a market place with us that was not included in our package. We had a good time and learned so much from him. He makes us feel so comfortable and safe. I would definitely recommend him to friends.

We as a family had a wonderful experience with this tour of Panama Canal and city. Our guide Ronald was very knowledgeable and provided as all the history of the city from as early as 1500. It had all the must visit places including the old Panama. Love the tour and guide. Tour operator was excellent and made sure we got to all places on time!
