Panama city

Im now getting to this review from our 2025 trip. Ana Rosa was the best. She made our tour so much lighter and enjoyable. My kids totally trusted her. She went above and beyond for my family.

Not good enough

Ok not good enough. The car that we tour in was small and uncomfortable. It was even missing one door handle. We had a water bottle included and did not get any in this very hot weather. The restaurant that the guide stopped in for lunch had a bad salad, lettuce was translucent and brown. The guide stopped there bcs he gets free lunch. He said he was a substitute driver.

Kind guide, but tour fell short of expectations

We unfortunately didn't have a great time on this tour for a few reasons. Firstly, and most importantly, we did not get to see any ships pass through the canal. We chose the 10:30am time slot and unfortunately that day, the ships were paused from 11am (when we arrived to the canal) until 4pm, so we only watched the documentary. It seems the canal schedule changes day-to-day so we understand this may have been out of the guide's control, but perhaps going to the stops in a different order could have allowed us to see the canal in action. We also did not visit three (!) of the stops listed on the itinerary (150 Years of the Presence of China in Panama, Canal Administration Building, and Mercado Nacional de Artesanias). Our guide was very kind and we felt comfortable with him, but unfortunately we didn't get much information about the stops we visited and when we asked questions, he often didn't know the answers.

Operator response

Thank you for your feedback! During the New Year there are activities that woun’t be open due Holidays we do always the full tour but it places are not open we go to the main places so you can enjoy the experience! If you had questions that are not answered by the Guide we are always open for your questions at any time and on that way we can also improve the service. Also for that especial date you received instead of a Shared Tour a Private Tour and the Guide tryed to offer you the places as the Market and you said no. One more time thank you for your feedback and have a great New Year!
