Must do

The trip was awesome, we saw so much of the city. Our captain for the day was Pablo who was an absolute joy and wealth of knowledge. The admission fees were exactly as outlined in the booking. I can’t recommend this trip enough. If you’re looking for history, sightseeing, thrills or easy going this tour has something for everyone.

Amazing Private Tour Guide

Dwayne was absolutely AMAZING! He was so hospitable, knowledgeable, and introduced us to everything there is to know about Panama. From viewing the most popular tourist sites to trying local cuisine and learning about nightlife, Dwayne showed us all around the city and showed us the most amazing views with an observatory deck and the Panama Canal on our first day here. I highly recommend booking Dwayne for your city tour of Panama if you want to learn all about this beautiful city. Thank you Dwayne!!!

Terrific Tour

It was an awesome experience for my clients (friends and family). This was my first group trip to Panama as a travel advisor and my clients LOVED it. John was our tour guide. He was patient, as he catered to my elderly mom. He was very knowledgeable.

Excellent tour for first time visitors!

This was an excellent tour for our first visit to Panama City. Our guide, Joey Herrera, did a great job showing us the main sights and explaining the history along the way. He even stopped on the road side to show us a tree with three sloths in it which was an amazing added bonus! The tour was well paced as the 5 1/2 hours seemed to go by quickly. By the end of the tour we felt like we had seen and learned so much about the city. Highly recommend this tour!

Do this if you’re on a long layover in Panama City!

Oscar was so fun and knowledgeable. He saved us so much time by knowing about all the lines and possible delays at the canal. Be listened to us and adjusted the tour accordingly. Super nice guy, and we really enjoyed chatting by with him. I highly recommend this tour if you have a long layover - we were picked up and dropped off at the airport.
