Ten star review! Forget five star! This was hands down the best tour we have ever taken and we’ve done 25+ cruises! Gabriel is an amazing tour guide and a very special man! He made our day THE most special of any day ever spent on a vacation! We asked to be shown all the military bases and to have a military tour. Gabriel went above and beyond! Thank you Gabriel for everything you did and didn’t have to do! We will see you next year! Until then we will be thinking about you and our special day in Panama with our friend Gabriel! PS you need to raise your prices! That private tour was way underpriced!!

Itinerary
Also known as Panamá La Vieja, is the remaining part of the old Panama City and former capital of the country. This is an excellent site to appreciate the historical structures of the first city founded by the Spanish on the Pacific coast.
This little village showcases the prevailing customs, traditions and history of our country. All in one area, you can step inside a typical Afro-Caribbean, peasant and Indigenous house that showcases the main characteristics of these various cultures.
This is the historic district of Panama City, built in 1673 following the near-total destruction of the original Panamá city, Panamá Viejo.
This museum pays tribute to the 30,000-plus black West Indians who made up the vast majority of the Canal’s foreign laborers, many of whom died doing this dangerous work. See reconstructed examples of Afro-Antillanos’ dismal living conditions, photos and artifacts.

Excellent experience with this tour agency in Panama. The organization was very professional, punctual, and reliable at all times. A special thanks to Erick, our guide—highly recommended. He provides excellent service, makes you feel very safe, and accompanies you throughout the entire tour, explaining each place in great detail. The car was impeccable, very clean and well-maintained, which made the experience even better. I would definitely choose them again and 100% recommend their service.
Every time you visit a new country, you need to meet right local people, who can help. We were lucky to met Aldo . This guy was amazing. He is a perfect not only as a tourist guide, but also as a human being! We had a great tour around Panama City and will take a great memories with as about Panama as a country back home. We highly recommend Aldo as a guide for those, who truly would like to know Panama! Aldo is a perfect guide, who will walk extra mile, to meet your expectation. Thanks “Panama your way”, thank you Aldo.
The tour activity meet our expectation. Aldo our tour director was very knowledgeable about the sites and gave the extra-mile.
Aldo our guide was absolutely fantastic! We learned so much about Panama history through his love his country. We will definitely be referring our friends and family to him. So thrilled we took this tour! You won’t regret this tour! It’s a must!
We booked a private tour with Panama Your Way during a layover in Panama City. We were met by our guide, Aldo, right at the door of the airport, and he was AMAZING! We asked to learn the history of the city, and did he deliver!! Super knowledgeable, amazingly friendly, and knew the city and all the short cuts like the back of his hand! And he speaks MULTIPLE languages! We had such a great day! I cannot say enough good things about this company! 14/10 would recommend.
Gabrielle Camargo was very helpful and took care of us. I will recommend this tour to my friends and family. We took lot of pictures.
The tour was set up to visit sites in a chronological order, from the oldest in Panama to the next oldest…. Carlos kept us informed and entertained. We learned a lot about the history, culture, and people of Panama. This tour is well worth the price and time, as Carlos is a superb guide.
Amazing! Gabriel was an amazing guide. There were some potential closures due to a dignitary visit, but he masterfully moved around the schedule to accommodate those and we were still able to see everything possible. He is a kind and knowledgeable tour guide.
I’ve had really mixed experiences with private tours throughout Europe—ranging from just ok to downright awful. But this company was first-rate and my guide Aldo is an 11 on a ten point scale. Knowledgeable, funny, warm, kind, professional, he is the total package. I was extremely lucky to have him show me the city. We had lunch at a local restaurant that served amazing food and, when I mentioned I would love to buy a “real” Panamá hat, we made our way to a tiny hat shop where I was properly fitted with a gorgeous hat and even given a hatbox to carry it home. The arrangements and logistics were superb. So if you want to be assured of a great trip, this is the company- and Aldo is THE guide!
THe tour guide had so much knowledge and gave as an outsider a new perspective on panamanian history. THE views were amazing and we got to see interesting historical places around both of the old cities.Tour guide was very good and answered questions. I can warmly recommend the history tour if you want to know more about panama than just sights.
Aldo was a great guide. Right on time. Very knowledgeable. Flexible. Personable. Has a few contacts in town to make things go smoothly. Has been doing this for a few years so knows all the shortcuts, secret doors and hidden displays. Recommended for those interested in history and culture.
Aldo was a fantastic guide who gave us an excellent tour. He anticipated our needs and his enthusiasm for all things Panamanian was wonderful.
I'm so glad we decided to go with Panama Your Way for our sightseeing tour of Panama City. We had a group of 16 and were able to be on our own private bus. We did a half day (6 hour) tour and our guide was Edwing. He was easy to understand and very knowledgeable. We did a walking tour through Casco Antiguo, which was very interesting. We then went to the Amador Causeway where they had reservations lined up for us at Praia. It was a fun restaurant, perfect for our group. We then went to the Miraflores Locks Visitors Center. Since we had pre-purchased the tickets for this ahead of time through Panama Your Way, we were able to walk right past the long line waiting to get in and went directly to the IMAX theatre to watch the 3D movie, which was a great way to learn about the Panama Canal before our boat trip through the canal the following day. Our group was very pleased with the whole experience. I would highly recommend Panama Your Way if you are interested in a half day tour.
We were a party of 9 friends- seniors - on a stop in Panama prior to boarding a cruise. Raphael was most informative, thorough, considerate of our needs, and went the extra mile to accommodate our needs. That included an ice cream stop in the heat of the day! Though not specifically stated as part of the trip, we also were treated with a surprise (and welcome) drive to Flamenco and other islands. We all came away feeling the tour represented Panama, its history, culture and people. Thank you, to Raphael and to Trip Advisor!
Tour guide willingness to go out of his way to provide us with a wonderful cultural and historical experience of Panama..
The service was perfect, adaptable, and met our needs. Excellent service and a guide who is more than passionate about his country.
