It was a private tour with my host Juan.We started at the Panama Canal.Juam had a aura that immediately makes you feel safe and that was important to me since I was a solo traveler.He was knowledgeable about the canal and historical sights. More stops and photo opportunities would make the tour A+ Overall it was a good tour.
Hola, thank you for taking the time to share your experience. It has been a pleasure providing you with our services.
Very bad. Bad time management. Wasted time watching issues of less interest and almost no time left for the channel. It complained and said that the fault was the agency that should have taken a specific tour to the channel because that the channel was just that the time available. The agency that booked, once and for all, said that it had never thought that the Panama Canal would be treated like this as something so secondary and that it would endeavour to never make a reservation with this class again. He couldn't even see a boat pass through the enclosure because he had to run out. Moreover, part of the race was because they needed to drop a specific person from the group on a panoramic flight.
Hello: We don't have any reservation with your name. Please check if you really did the tour with us, if not please delete this comment. There are many other tour operators that operate this tour.
Casco viejo is beautiful and well preserved! And the canal is an amazing feat of engineering! The guide Juan, was courteous, and all around a great guy.
Hey, Thank you for your comments.
Ariel was an incredible guide and very knowledgeable. He had a good sense of humor too. He even went out of his way to show me my dads old high school, which was very special.
We do our best to ensure our customers enjoy their experience to the fullest, and we're glad it was that way for you.
I'm a frequent visitor to Panama and have done several tours in the city. This private tour with OLIVER was by far the best, friendliest, and most informative tour ever. I learned so much that I've educating Panamanians about their city and history. Oliver is personable, super informed and generous with his time and knowledge. I highly recommend booking this and ask for OLIVER.
Thanks for your comments, we are glad you enjoyed it all.
Oliver was knowledgeable and listened to what we wanted to see and do. He knew exactly when ships were going through the locks at the canal so we made good use of our time. Excellent afternoon!
We are happy that you enjoyed the tour.
My opinion is that the Panama Canal is one of the most important places in the city where you can live a great experience that allows us to know how the world economy and the country's economy develops since this is the main engine of its economy, see The passage of enormous ships that transport all types of merchandise make this place something majestic. old town is a beautiful combination between ancient and contemporary, you can enjoy here both during the day knowing its history, its churches and museums, you can also enjoy the landscape from here you can visualize the modern city with its great buildings and at night you can enjoy the music, the joy of its people, the bars and restaurants provide their services to locals and foreigners. If you have the opportunity to travel to Panama, you cannot miss visiting the Panama Canal and the old town, the sites with the greatest tourist development in the country.
Panama bridge of the world, heart of the universe, thank you very much!
Excellent Tour with professional attention and masterful explanation of the places visited and their history from Mr. Juan Carlos Valdes who served us as a Guide.
Nos alegramos que haya disfrutado de nuestros servicios.
Oliver was excellent at describing the history of Panama and of the canal, and answered all our questions about Panama. He was a very good driver and did not rush us. Unfortunately there was no parking in the Casco Viego so we only walked the Herrera plaza and saw what we could as we drove by. Also the access to the Amador causeway was blocked so we didn't go there as planned. The Miraflores visitor center Imax movie was good but other parts of the museum were closed.
Thank you for taking the time to share your experience.
Juan was amazing tour guide and very informative. He was able to answer all of questions in English. We learned so much about the Panamá Canal and the city.
Thank you !
