This was an excellent...

Published on May, 2025

This was an excellent tour 10/10 recommend our guide was very knowledgeable and gave great tips on where to find real Panamanian food

Great tour and tour guide.

Published on May, 2025

This tour is perfect for the first time visitor. You will see many of the highlights of the city and the canal. Richard is an amazing guide. He provided a history of panama and pointed out points of interest along the way. He had cold drinking water for us, took pictures of us, and is a safe driver. He planned the itinerary so that we were at the canal when a boat was coming through the locks. He purchased our tickets for us, so we were able to not have to wait in line. He planned for the right amount of time at the canal, so we were able to watch the IMAX documentary. I highly recommend this tour and Richard.

Book it!

Richard was great! Communication was excellent. When things didn’t go as planned, he rerouted to assure we got the best out of our experience. Photo skills are outstanding. Very attentive and helpful throughout. Highly recommend.

Ask for Richard as your Guide!

Richard was a fantastic guide! He has a lot of knowledge, a pleasant personality and was intentional on making sure our experience was great! (He even brought umbrellas and rain ponchos, and ice/cold water for us). We highly recommend this tour for anyone who would like a detailed tour of the old town, the causeway, and the canal - as well as a delicious authentic Panamanian lunch stop.

It's a great way to...

It's a great way to sightsee the city. Conveniently, we were picked up and dropped off at our hotel, which was one of the designated hotels. I recommend it.
