      Amazing!!
      sokhary_P, Apr 2024
      This was such a unique way to tour Panama! The car is super cool and heads will turn as you drive by! Ramon was my guide and he was phenomenal! He's full of knowledge and was so eager and passionate in sharing the past and present stories of Panama! I was a solo traveler and he ensured I had a great time and took great photos and videos of my experience! He even stopped traffic a few times just so I could get a nice photo with the iconic views! 10/10! I would suggest doing this tour in the beginning of your trip as Ramon gave great suggestions on places and restaurants to visit in Panama, he even sent me a playlist of some great songs the locals enjoy! Talk about above and beyond! Thank you Ramon!!

      Did this tour with Ronel. She is such an amazing and funny tour guide. She took us to a souvenir store then around Panama to take some amazing night pictures using her humour to add entertainment to the experience. The car brought us loads of attention and we felt like celebrities

      Charika_H, Feb 2024
      Pretty cool car to ride around the city in! We really enjoyed Tomi! He's very knowledgeable about Panama. I would definitely recommend this excursion to others I know that will visit there.

      A highlight of our stay in Panama City!! A must do!!
      Stephan_A, Feb 2024
      What an awesome way to experience Panama City! Something to be said for driving around the city in a VW Thing! Our tour guide Ramon was amazing!!! His knowledge and equally impressive was his ability to articulate his knowledge of Panama and its amazing history and culture. Ramon put on an incredible tour for us allowing us to see the Old City of Panama, the causeway and the financial/downtown core of the city. Most notable was not only his knowledge of Panama but his willingness to risk life and limb to help me find my hat that unexpectedly blew off my head from a sudden wind gust while driving down the main boulevard!!! To my surprise we were able to recover it and have a really great story to tell about it too.
      Response from Host, Feb 2024
      Ramon is a wonderful guide and a real gentleman. I am happy to know he was able to recover your hat! Our VW Thing is our pride and joy and I'm so happy you enjoyed riding around this beautiful city in it! There's nothing quite like it, I'm so glad you found the City Safari. Thank you fr taking the time to leave a review! Tomi

      Karina_H, Feb 2024
      We had a great time Tomi was very informative and friendly !!! He took us to casco viejo and the causeway in his cute little green convertible!!!
      Response from Host, Feb 2024
      Thank you for leaving a review Karina! It was a lot of fun showing you around and I'm SO happy you enjoyed it. And.. you're right the car is pretty cute :) Thanks for choosing to see Panama in our green classic car with the roof down. I'm very grateful you chose us!
      Just great fun!!
      Lori_K, Feb 2024
      This was fabulous!! Starting with the car and Tomi who after two hours we felt was our new best friend. He's so knowledgeable and everywhere you go people are taking photos of the car! It's just great fun and a wonderful way to see Panama City! You won't be disappointed until you have to say goodbye.
      Response from Host, Feb 2024
      It's funny because for me the toughest parte of this is at the end when we have to say goodbye. This car and tour attracts the most, kind, fun-loving people and it would so much better if it never had to come to an end! Still, we hope you'll have beautiful memories (and pictures) to last a lifetime. I loved reading your review and I'm extremely grateful, thank you! Tomi
      The Green Thing is the Real Thing
      Penny_S, Jan 2024
      Wonderful 2 hour tour that I recommend you take early in your itinerary. Tomi has a lot of knowledge on Panama history and recommendations for visiting Panama City. Highly encourage you to book!
      Response from Host, Jan 2024
      Thanks ever so much for reviewing the City Safari and recommending our tour. We're thrilled to know you enjoyed the experience and I'm extremely grateful to you for booking with us (and being so kind as to take the time to leave this review). Wishing you all the very best for all your future travels! Tomi
      Best way to tour Panama City
      Kelly_R, Jan 2024
      We sometimes do those double decker bus tours but opted for this one instead and I'm glad we did. Tomi picked us up right on time and it was the perfect way to see the city. Tomi knew a lot about the history and culture of Panama and the car was a real head-turner. I loved being able to go to places that a bus or van tour wouldn't be able to go. The car is a convertible so you get uninterrupted 360 views, all while Tomi points out sights and tells the history of the area. Panama City is bigger than you might realize and this tour really hits most of the major areas. Tomi also took great photos and offered so many suggestions for restaurants, many of which we tried over the next couple of days and they were exactly as he described. He even dropped us off at a lunch suggestion after the tour. I'll now look for tours as close to something like this wherever we go. Thanks!
      Response from Host, Jan 2024

I'm so happy we have left a positive impresión of our City Safari Tour and Panama City! Thanks again SO much for your kind words. Team Tomi Tours wishes you all the very best in all your future travels!
      Incredible, knowledgeable, educational
      Sarah_K, Dec 2023
      Tomi was incredibly insightful and very knowledgeable throughout the entire tour. He was truly amazing from taking pictures of our family with the VW in Panamanian Hotspots or from the amazing conversation throughout the tour. I highly recommend that anyone going to Panama to book this tour and to do it close to the beginning of the trip as Tomi points out sone really great things to go see and do. Tomi was absolutely wonderful and the tour was incredible. Thank you Tomi for such a wonderful experience for my family and I
      Response from Host, Dec 2023
      This is such a kind and thoughtful review Sarah, it means the world to me to know how much you and your family enjoyed the trip around the city in our VW Safari!

It was a pleasure meeting you - thank you so very much for your review and booking our tour of beautiful Panama City. Hope to see you back here one of these days! Tomi
      Wonderful car ride!
      Jason_M, Dec 2023
      This is an excellent tour of the city. We loved every minute of the tour and how close we were able to be to people. The car makes people smile and wave. Having the top down was so fun and relaxing. We loved hearing about the history of Panamá City.
      Response from Host, Dec 2023
      I'm so happy to know that you enjoyed the tour - and especially how much you enjoyed the reaction to the car of all the locals (and tourists!). The car is definitely loved and the waving and smiling is a huge amount of fun. I am so happy you found our tour and even happier to know you enjoyed it so much. Thank you so much for taking the time to leave a review. Tomi

      A tour to remember!
      Jamila_H, Nov 2023
      Wow. Just wow. Our classic car tour with Tomo was an experience to remember. It’s absolutely the best way to see Panama City. And made our aunt’s birthday celebration weekend all the more memorable. Tomo is so knowledgeable and so personable. He makes sure to tailor the tour to the sights you want to see but also to the aspects of Panamanian history that capture your interest. And, with great stops for photos! I highly recommend.
      Response from Host, Nov 2023

      Aside from cruising around in the coolest car in Panama, this tour was great because of the history that was shared, Tim’s passion, and the sights toured. Highly recommend!
