Great tour!
Lisette_J, Apr 2024
Tour was good. We had a lot of time to visit each site. Tour guide was patient in letting us take photos and explore. Driver was knowledgeable about the sites and history of Panama. Monica did a good job translating. Overall I would recommend this tour, just be sure to bring your own snacks/water because they aren't provided.
Good tour
Tove_L, Feb 2024
Our guide was great and told us a lot about Panama. He was also great with our three children and engaged them. We enjoyed the visit to Panama Canal, but would have preferred to stay there a little longer. The IMAX 3D movie was great. Then we did a tour around the old town and some other sites. It was a good introductory tour of Panama for our one day lay over.

Guids were great, very informative and friendly. Very helpful and getting me back to the canal to see an actual ship. Go through since we missed them in the morning. The IMAX movie is well worth it.

Our guide Armando was very knowledgeable, courteous and ensured we saw what we wanted to see. One stop was not available so he took us to other interesting venues. He was excellent. Muchas grasias Armando!

Nice tour
Beverly_B, Sep 2022
The tour with Armando was great. We had the tour as a small group of about 5 people. We got to visit the canal, see the American bridge, casco viejo and a lot of other places along our route as well as take pictures. Despite some showers that didn't deter anyone and we managed to grab lunch and visit the interior of some of the churches as well.
Response from Host, Sep 2022
We are glad you had a good day. Thank you for leaving us your comments
Great tour. I recommend.
WILLIE_C, Jul 2022

Response from Host, Aug 2022

Esteban was our tour guide. He was like 30 minutes late meeting us and the driver due to traffic from his house. Esteban spotted a sleeping sloth on our drive and we were able to stop and get pictures. We stopped at Miraflores, but there were no ships going through the canal that morning. They said afternoons and evenings are the best times for that. We still went through the museum. I didn't realize the tour included a walking tour of Casco Viejo. I'm glad that I didn't end up purchasing the separate deal I saw for that. We saw some cool architecture and amazing nativity scenes in two churches. I really wanted to try raspados and Esteban made sure to find a seller for me. The tour was supposed to include bottled water, but it didn't. It was a hot and humid day and water is definitely needed walking through Casco Viejo.
Response from Host, May 2022
We apologize for the delay of our guide due to a demonstration at that time that complicated the traffic. We take note of the water bottles to make sure they are not missing again. The comments about him are very helpful for the company, we appreciate it.
Great Tour for a great price.

We really enjoyed the tour. The guide was very knowledgeable and stopped up at a few places that weren’t even part of the tour.
Response from Host, Jul 2021

Top value for money
dietheretzel, Feb 2020
Ruben provided a knowledgeable and indepth tour with all the history. His effort to time the canal visit with an actual ship passing through was a huge bonus. The old city was an unexpected surprise for us with many architectural treasures that would require a full days visit.
Response from Host, Feb 2020
Thank you for your comments, we are very glad that you enjoyed your tour.
Love it.
Peter_W, Jan 2020
I had quite a professional tour guide. Wonderful half day trip.. Do recommend for anyone with limited time. Definitely worth time $$ spent.
Response from Host, Jan 2020
Thank you for your comment for us it is very important to be able to value all our services, and thus provide our tours within the reach of all our customers.
great thing to do on first day in Panama
Jeffrey_F, Dec 2019
This tour provides a good introduction to Panama City. I wish we had more of a chance to explore on foot, either more time in Casco Viejo, and maybe a stop a Ancon Hill (which I didn't end up getting to). Our tour guide was great, and he took the time to tell us stories about Panama. It was a bit unnecessary for him to announce that he won a "Best tour guide" award.
Response from Host, Dec 2019
Thank you for your comments are very important for us and so we can improve our services, we will take note to add these points in the tour.
Wonderful Tour
Ashley_W, Sep 2019
I loved this tour. Neville, the guide/driver, picked everyone up right at their hotels and proceeded to give the tour in both English and Spanish and made sure to include everyone in the conversation. He was absolutely awesome, friendly, charismatic, knowledgeable, very well spoken in English, and so easy to talk to. I was traveling solo and he always offered to take pictures of me at various stops on the tour. The entrance to the Canal museum is not included and it is another $20. The Canal itself is stunning, just absolutely breathtaking, and we were fortunate enough to get to see a ship go through one of the locks. I highly recommend this tour!
Good but missing the point
Matthew_B, Jun 2019
Good tour and knowledgeable guide. They are excellent at what they do. They take you to the canal which is great and you have enough time to see everything. Then they take you to two craft markets and a duty free shop, these were tourist shops and we're not the best things to do, it should be 1 maximum and spend more time in Casco Viejo.
Response from Host, Jul 2019
Gracias por su comentario son importantes vamos a tomarlo en cuenta. Pará futuras giras.
