Wonderful tour!!

Our private Panama Canal/Casco Viejo tour was terrific! Our tour guide, Harry, was punctual, friendly, knowledgeable, and provided us with so much great information! We had such a positive experience!

Great value as it was a private tour. The tour guide was extremely knowledgeable about Panamanian history. He took great care of us.
Want to return

Walking through the beautiful old city! So much history. Lived the churches. And Rodrick customized the tour to our interests after visiting with us. He was so knowledgeable and passionate about his country and Panama City. His insight was balanced and practical with the current and historical culture. Panama City has a great ambassador in Rodrick. I want to come back and visit again.
BEST TOUR GUIDE AND DRIVER IN PANAMA!!!
Paulean_B, Oct 2022
I booked a last minute tour with Roderick due to the fact that my first tour guide cancelled because of unforeseen circumstances. Nevertheless, I AM SOOO HAPPY that my initial plan didn't go through. Roderick is sooo amazing, fun, charismatic, funny, knowledgeable, EVERYTHING that you can ask for in a tour guide! Juan himself is amazing too. If I could've rated this 100x, I would because the tour was THAT GREAT! Even better when DJ Juan (lol) played Reggae Music💃🏿 Despite the inclement weather, they made sure I was okay and still enjoying the tour. Thank you sooo much Roderick and Juan for making my Panama stay 10x better! Would for sure recommend you to anyone, anyday!
Awesome tour!

This was by far the best way to see the city and the canal in one day. Knocked two things right off our list. Roderick was AWESOME!! He was a fun tour guide and made this experience worthwhile. A must do!
Excellent Tour of Casco Viejo, Customized to fit our needs

We met Roderick in front of the Central Hotel Panama Casco Viejo where he helped us arrange parking for our rental car. We were running a little late due to Panama City traffic and called Roderick to let him know via the cell phone provided. He picked up right away and told us not to stress he will be waiting for us. We started the trip in Independence Square where very quickly we could see that we had a very good tour guide. Roderick is a beautiful person, full of energy and good vibrations, very warm and friendly, immediately made us feel very comfortable. If you want he can do the standard group tour kind of thing offered by the larger tour operators where you step through the list of sights in Casco Viejo, but that is not what we were looking for. Yes we wanted to see the standard sights, be we wanted a more authentic walk that could evolve organically. One of the highlights of the tour was a spontaneous decision to stop in a small coffee shop as we were walking by when Roderick asked if we like coffee. He said let me show you something neat. We went in and did a taste testing of the Gesha coffee Panama has become famous for over the last five years, and his friend who did the testing told us a lot about the Panamanian craft coffee scene, it was cool, very informative, and delicious. We really did not know much about Panamanian coffee before hand but since realize it is very important for Panama, this Gesha craft coffee. The other thing we noticed about this coffee shop was all Panamanian customers, not the tourist that where numerous everywhere else. We continued the trip doing things very organically, hoping from site to site and doing fun things in between for our kids. Bought some souvenirs at the markets, he showed us a good spot to get our 5 yr old a Panama hat when he was getting very hot. He got us some coconut water straight from the nut. When my 5 yr old was about pooped out, he picked him up and carried him a little ways and used his good vibes and great personality to get him going again until the end of the trip. He also treated my 14 year old very well too and talked to him a lot. Roderick was simply great and provided a very fun and customized tour to meet our specific needs. Essential we had a knowledgeable local guide (and great human being) to show us the town for the morning.
Response from Host, May 2022
When a charismatic guide and an incredibly wonderful family merge on a private tour, that guarantees an incredible and enjoyable experience without question. Thanks for your feedback and let us know that we met all your expectations resulting in a fantastic time we all had together in Casco Viejo
