This was a great stop over experience. We were a family of 7 with a few young children. IFYKYK. Gabriel was our guide and did an amazing job. He was knowledgeable, helpful, and agile with our itinerary. His attention to timeliness allowed us to decide what was best for our family and how we wanted to experience panama. Communication before and during the trip was easy. He also taught us much of the detailed history of Panama and avoided some long lines. Highly recommended.

Our tour guide, Gabriel, was outstanding! He was very knowledgeable, friendly, professional, and made the entire experience enjoyable. He took the time to explain the history of each location, We had an amazing experience visiting the Panama Canal, Old Town, and more. Each location was beautiful and full of history, culture, and incredible sights. He answered our questions, and made sure everyone had a great time.
We couldn't have asked for a better guide than Oscar. He was punctual, full of knowledge, open to questions and extremely flexible. Very professional and highly recommended.
Personalized experience with a great guide. Daniel was amazing from start to finish; punctual, knowledgeable and accommodating. He even tried to get in a sloth sighting Memorable day
We had a great time. The plan to visit the different parts and areas of the city was well executed. Our tour guide José received us well, made us feel comfortable throughout the tour. We had great conversation the whole time, and became friends in the process.
Jose was an exceptional tour guide. We were a group of 4. He was flexible, knowledgeable we had a great time!
We loved Panama and I really enjoyed the city tour! Our tour guide, Joy Herrera, was very kind, friendly, responsible, and paid close attention to every detail. Plus, he was punctual, you can tell he loves what he does, has great energy, and comes highly recommended Thank you so much for everything
My tour guide was Gabriel Morales. He was amazing. He was very informative and knows Panama well. He patiently waited while we enjoyed ourselves at all the sites. A very fun guy and I’ll definitely be booking and recommending his services.
Elena made our private tour of Panama City a wonderful experience. She was warm, friendly, easy to talk to, and incredibly knowledgeable. She helped us see everything we wanted, and was flexible when we wanted to adjust the itinerary along the way. She’s a lovely person, and we’ll definitely stay in touch. Her employer is very lucky to have her. We highly recommend Elena to anyone looking for a great tour guide in Panama City!
Our tour guide and driver Pablo Salas was outstanding and very informative. Thank you very much , Pablo Salas.
The tour was excellent. The booking process and customer service was dreadful. It took several days and many emails back and forth. I nearly gave up several times. Problems with the software (only given 1 minute to book instead of 20 mins, discount code worked at first but then didn't work, customer service would not answer my questions and kept giving me the same information relentlessly but not what I needed, I asked for email of whoever was in charge to complain - they ignored that. I've booked with Viator before and had no problems. The other thing is most tours you can only book for 2 persons. Hard luck if you are a solo traveller.
We got great time doing city tour with Carlos. He was very patient and explained many history info during the tour. Highly recommend.
Jose was a wonderful guide. My friend and I enjoyed the tour very much. The tour of the old town was interesting as was going to the Panama Canal, watching the film about the history of the Canal and seeing a ship transversing the Canal locks. Highly recommend this tour and Jose.
Our guide Gabriel Morales was outstanding! He was very responsive and picked us up from our hotel on time. Gabriel is very knowledgeable and responded all of our questions and satisfied our curiosity to learn more about Panamá. He made our visit to Poin, Casco Viejo, and Panamá Canal absolutely enjoyable. We highly recommend Gabriel for his professionalism, respectful demeanor and caring approach.
Gabriel was knowledgeable and our trip was perfect. Allowed us to choose how quickly we moved and where we spent our time. It was a great day and allowed us to see the important sites.
What an incredible day exploring the Panama Canal, The Point, the old city and Amador! From start to finish, our tour guide Gabriel made the experience easy, fun, and completely stress-free. He confirmed our pickup time the day before and arrived right on time which is always a great way to start an excursion! He was bilingual in English and Spanish, incredibly knowledgeable, and gave us so much interesting information about Panama’s history, the Canal, the economy, and the local area without making it feel like a history class. And when we said we wanted coconut water, he said, “Let’s go!” He made a stop so we could grab some, kept us hydrated with water, and was incredibly flexible throughout the day. He also knew the operating hours of local spots, which made planning our day so much easier. No guessing, no wasted time just good vibes and a well-planned adventure! Of course, we had to get the pictures! And our guide was more than happy to be our personal photographer throughout the day. He was patient, knew the good spots, and made sure we left with plenty of memories. And just when we thought the day was over, he dropped us off at the local fish market so we could grab a local bite before taking us home. Talk about ending the day the right way! The meal was so fresh. I would recommend this excursion if you are looking to see most of the city in a short time.
Very good tour. Our tour guide Jose Berrocal was punctual, patient, friendly and knowledgeable. Would definitely recommend him or this Panama city tour to visitors
Very good experience. Jose Berrocal was an excellent tour guide. Very knowledgeable, friendly, patient, punctual and a good photographer. Would definitely recommend this tour for anyone visiting Panama
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ This tour exceeded all expectations. Our flight was delayed by almost two hours, and despite the inconvenience, our guide was still waiting for us at the airport with a warm welcome and a positive attitude. What impressed me most was their commitment to ensuring we didn’t miss out on the experience. Even with the delayed start, they adjusted the schedule seamlessly and made sure we saw everything that was included in the tour. We never felt rushed, and the entire experience was professional, organized, and enjoyable. The guide was knowledgeable, friendly, and genuinely invested in making our short time in Panama memorable. If you’re considering a private sightseeing tour in Panama City, I highly recommend this company. Their customer service, flexibility, and dedication to their guests are truly exceptional.
Dwayne made our experience in Panamá absolutely incredible! From the Panamá Canal to shopping, local adventures, great food selections, and learning about the history and culture of the country, he made sure we experienced Panamá the right way. What really separated Dwayne was that he didn’t just feel like a tour guide—he felt like someone who genuinely wanted us to enjoy his country. He was knowledgeable, patient, professional, personable, and always willing to adjust the experience based on what we wanted to see and do. The Panamá Canal was amazing, but some of our best memories came from the places Dwayne introduced us to along the way—the local food, shopping, culture, and experiences we probably would have missed without him. If you’re traveling to Panamá and want more than just a typical tourist experience, I highly recommend Dwayne. He gives you the history, culture, adventure, food, shopping, and local perspective that makes a trip truly memorable. Dwayne, thank you for taking care of us and helping make our Panamá trip an experience we’ll never forget. We came as visitors, but you made us feel at home.
This is a great experience if you’re in Panama for the first time. It includes the Panama Canal, the Old City, shopping and included a stop to the Poin for zip lining and great photo ops. Our tour guide Joey was amazing!
Communication was great about the driver and guide that was to pick us up. Dewayne our guide was excellent, he was knowledgeable, and very professional. The vehicle was spacious, and clean. I definitely would recommend this excursion to people to try.

This tour was great, Gabriel was on time for our hotel pickup and communicated with us the night before to ensure that our tour was off to a smooth start. Gabriel was informative, giving us interesting information about the history of Panama and many of the landmarks we passed. He was patient with our group and allowed us to tour on a flexible schedule that suited our pace and liking. Our group had a small child, young adult males, and older adults, who all found a part of the tour that was interesting and enjoyable for them. Overall, it was a great choice for our visit to Panama and we would definitely recommend this experience to other travelers.
Gabriel Morales is an excellent tour guide. He made sure that I learned a great deal about Panamanian history and culture. He was on time and provided a best in class experience. I used to be a tour guide and he exceeded my expectations.

This was a highlight of our stay in Panama City. Our guide, Dwayne, was the best! He was very knowledgable of the area and got us the best spots to view the canal.

We went on a tour with Pablo and honestly, it was amazing from start to finish. He communicated with us the night before, arrived right on time, and made the whole day enjoyable. He took us to all the main attractions around Panama and also took plenty of photos for us throughout the tour. If you’re looking for a tour guide in Panama City, I would definitely recommend booking with him.
We were on a short stopover in PTY and had an excellent experience with Gabriel.From start to finish the service was professional,well organized and customer friendly.His local knowledge and presentation of historic facts of Panama was admirable. I highly recommend him for anyone looking for a memorable travel experience in Panama. Bravo!
This experience was totally awesome. If you’re lucky enough to get Oscar as your tour guide you’re in for a great tour in, around, and all throughout. He was a wealth of knowledge of the area, the places to see, and wonderful places to eat. He took extra time if needed to make sure we were completely satisfied with each stop we made. Very personable, knew English very well so asking him questions wasn’t a problem, he knew the answers. He would also let you know about places that were not so good based on how he read our personality. We enjoyed every minute of our tour.oh yes, easy booking and lots of follow up regarding the booking with emails, text, etc.
Elena was wonderful! She picked us up at the cruise terminal exit and took us to all the sites and provided great information and history! The Miraflores visitors center was great. The Poin was super cool! I recommend doing the overlook/balcony. We then drove around the old town for awhile and got to see the amazing architecture and churches. She recommended an amazing restaurant for a late lunch nearby the ship! I would highly recommend this private tour with Elena!
