This tour was amazing! It was a day full of Panama's rich history thanks to our very knowledgeable guide, Gabriel and our driver who took us around. I highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting the area.
The knowledge shared from the guide was invaluable. We were also given time to get out of the vehicle and take pictures as well.
Great way to get a taste of Casco Viejo and the Panama Canal. Gabriel was an excellent guide. Pick up and transportation was on time and comfortable. Highly recommend.
The tour was good the guide and driver were great. For myself the best part was the stop at the Canal. The length at the stop could have been a bit longer, other then that the tour was good, I guess for me the plus was we were a small group. Which made it better.
Come and have fun enjoy. There is a lot to learn. You also you meet new people and share experiences. Its worth every penny.
Great guide, really knowledgeable about everything and old town and canal…………………………………………………………………..
Tour guide very knowledgeable and van was comfortable. Lots of valuable information.
Our tour guide Gabriel was awesome he was very knowledgeable and gave us a great experience. Ask for Garbriel
Gabriel was a great guide. He told us the history of Panama and all about the canal The Casco Viego tour was great
I had a wonderful tour of Panama with Luis. The tour ended up being private, which was a really enjoyable experience. Luis explained everything so well and made sure to show me everything possible. He took photos for me and was a great conversationist. He turned a short layover in Panama into a stepping stone for me wanting to come back.
Excellent, informative tour of the Panama Canal and other interesting sites in Panama City. Gabriel did an excellent job working around some last minute changes in the Canal Visitor Center’s schedule due to the recent earthquake. We had a couple of folks from China who spoke no Spanish and only a bit of English, but Gabe was super patient working through translations. I really knew very little about the operations and pride Panamanian’s have for this complex and critical logistics link. Also loved the beautiful views of the city from the marina. One final stop on the tour was the high end hat shop near the Plaza Mayor…I came back later to make a purchase. All in all a great tour, gracias Gabriel!
This was a wonderful experience. Our tour guide Gabriel was punctual, patient and knowledgeable. This tour was certainly worthwhile. We will definitely recommend!
Gabriel was a great guide. The tour was well organized. Learned a lot. Pick up from hotel was great!. Highly recommend!
Tour was good my only problem was the late pick up after tour but otherwise it was a very good tour tour guide was great
Good all round tour. Our guide Gabriel was very knowledgeable and made it all fun. It's a bit busy at the canal when a boat is going through but well worth the view. The walking tour was excellent with lots of photo opportunities, it is about 45 minutes of walking.
Ivan and Gabriel were great! Tour was informative and well timed. Enjoyed every stop! Hotel pickup was a breeze!
Informative and fun. Good guide and driver
They have to have $20 cash in addition to what you pay for the tour to actually get the ticket to enter the canal. The city tour is also very HOT! Dress lite and bring water!
Wow. Great tour of the Panama Canal and Old City. Our guide Luis was EXCEPTIONAL. Full of historical information regarding the Canal. Highly recommend. I was the lucky one today! Gracias por Todo🙏
The tour was excellent from start to finish. Gabriel was very informative and very knowledgeable with answering questions.
Jose took his time and was full of knowledge. He even took pictures of us for us . Would highly recommend
Picked us up at the hotel, enjoyed the informative walk & talk through the old beautiful city, went to the Canal without waiting in lines. The guide is friendly, knowledgeable, and happy to share the information about Panama City. Had a great time.
I had an incredible and memorable experience with this tour company. The guide was professional, knowledgeable, and very well-informed. I was picked up from my hotel early, allowing me to enjoy a full and exciting tour. Even the heat and occasional rain added to the adventure and made the experience more memorable. I learned so much about the fascinating history of Panama City, the Panama Canal, and the country overall. It was a beautiful, educational, and enjoyable experience, and I would highly recommend this tour company to anyone visiting Panama.
Toni was the best guide ever. He walked with us through Casco viejo and showed us everything. Out group was amazing. Definitely recommend
Gabriel our tour guide was excellence very knowledgeable about the history of Panama 🇵🇦 and surrounding area.. He went above and beyond to make our trip great 👍..
The canal visit was nice and informative. The city tour was rushed and no time to enjoy the sites pointed out.
I had such a great experience on this tour! Everything was well organized from the hotel pickup to the different stops throughout the day. I really enjoyed visiting the Panama Canal, but Casco Viejo was definitely my favorite part. It was beautiful and had so much character and history. The tour was a great way to see different parts of Panama City, especially as someone traveling alone. I felt comfortable throughout the experience and I’m really glad I booked it. Gabriel was our guide and he was really nice, helpful and very informative, which made the experience even more enjoyable. I would definitely recommend this tour! ❤️🇵🇦
I had a wonderful time. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable, even getting around the traffic downtown, LOL! Plenty of opportunities for photos, to grab a quick bite to eat if needed, and to see some hidden historical landmarks that you wouldn't see otherwise unless you are already in the old city. I particularly enjoyed the IMAX portion of the Milflores lock and got to see a large ship pass through it. Give yourself about 5 hours for the entire tour and wear comfy shoes, as there is quite a bit of walking in the old city, but it's worth it.
Excellent tour. Excellent communication in advance. A very friendly and informative guide providing a great overview of the sites included.
Bravo to guide Gabriel and driver Rogelio for a memorable experience. Great communication, timely pickup and drop-off, and Gabriel’s impressive knowledge of all things Panama made for a wonderful day. The sunny sky was a bonus. Muchas gracias!
Omg Jose was incredible! The detail he knew about his city and his country was extraordinary. He molded the trip to meet our expectations. There are not enough positive adjectives to describe his skill. The canal and casco viejo were both absolutely amazing, breathtaking. Book these folks today!
Ronald was an amazing tour guide! He’s very friendly, knowledgeable and enjoys what he does. He took great care of us. Thank you, Ronald. 🙏 Highly recommend!
I took an afternoon tour with Gabriel to the Miraflores Locks, Amador Causeway and Casco Viejo. The whole tour was fabulous and a great way to see all three places. Gabriel not only provided information about the Locks, but also how its’ construction intertwines with the history of Panama. The visit to the Locks was timed perfectly for us to watch the IMAX film narrated by Morgan Freeman, which brought the history of the canal to life. Then we had enough time to get to the viewing area to watch a ship pass through. The Amador Causeway stop was 20 minutes and was all that was needed. The final part was Casco Viejo, again Gabriel gave us lots of information about all the key sites as well as the main history of Casco Viejo.His knowledge and enthusiasm made this tour extra special.
The tour itself appeared to go smoothly, but I cannot recommend it because of serious concerns regarding the driver’s restaurant recommendation. At the driver's specific suggestion and after he contacted someone at the restaurant, our group ate at that restaurant. Before leaving, I and another person in our party personally identified and corrected arithmetic errors in the billing. Afterward, I discovered that the individual amounts charged also appeared to be higher than and did not accurately reflect the prices listed on the menu. I contacted the driver, and he said he would visit the restaurant the following day and get back to me. Despite his promise for a follow-up, he never responded. I cannot confirm whether the driver was involved in the billing problems, but the circumstances created a serious conflict-of-interest concern and the lack of follow-up is disappointing. Because of this experience, future customers may wish to use caution when relying on recommendations provided by the driver for any vendor and customers should independently determine appropriate prices, clarify charges, and negotiate terms where appropriate before making a purchase.
Carlos was an excellent guide. He took us to many hidden gems on the tour. It included a little bit of everything. We visited the canal and watch the IMAX movie. We visited Old Town Panama where we learned some history and did a bit of shopping. Kudos to Carlos for making our trip memorable!
Excellent service and communication Exceeded customer expectations.
This was beyond incredible! Gabriel and his dad are absolutely tremendous tour guides. Highly recommended!
I really enjoyed this trip with Gabriel. He made sure we were ahead of big crowds to get prime spots for viewing the canal, gave clear instructions on meet up times, anticipated rest stops. The tour included more than i had anticipated, we drove around parts of Panama City before our walking tour. Really enjoyable and very straightforward pickups with good communication.
The tour was amazing. Ronald spoke in both Spanish and English which was nice for someone like myself trying to learn and retain Spanish. It was a ridiculous amount of traffic but Ronald was smooth. Very interesting tour as well and nice to learn about the canal from a Panamanian perspective.
My tour guy Carlos was very knowledgeable and professional . He arrived at my hotel 10 minutes before the pickup time and start our day and a good mood. He even stop at a market place with us that was not included in our package. We had a good time and learned so much from him. He makes us feel so comfortable and safe. I would definitely recommend him to friends.
We as a family had a wonderful experience with this tour of Panama Canal and city. Our guide Ronald was very knowledgeable and provided as all the history of the city from as early as 1500. It had all the must visit places including the old Panama. Love the tour and guide. Tour operator was excellent and made sure we got to all places on time!
Very efficient and friendly tour guide. Extremely knowledgeable and gave clear understandable explanations, would recommend
Be on time and followthe instructions of the guide, the venue gets crowded fast. The instructions were in both English and Spanish which made it easy to follow.
Our tour guide was friendly and quite knowledgeable about Colombian history and the Panama Canal. He was engaging and willing to answer any questions. It was exciting to watch a cargo ship being lowered . The IMAX show was alright; narrated by Morgan Freeman. The capacity of the viewing area was too small for the amount of people there. It was worth the traffic.
Gabriel, our guide, did a good job. Unfortunately, it was raining most of the time but he made the best out of it, kept asking what we want and answered all our questions.
We loved our guide Carlos. Very knowledgeable about the city and friendly.
Luis was absolutely fantastic and made our time in Panama truly special! From the moment we met him, it was clear that he was committed to giving us an exceptional experience. At the Panama Canal, he made sure we arrived first and positioned us perfectly for the best possible views of the ships navigating the locks. Our tour of Old Town was equally memorable. Rather than simply following the typical tourist route, Luis showed us fascinating off-the-beaten-path locations and beautiful historic churches, including a special behind-the-scenes visit to the museum of the sacristy. His knowledge of Panama’s history and culture brought everything we saw to life. It was a a wonderful mix of well-known highlights and places we would never have discovered on our own. Most of all, Luis was knowledgeable, patient, thoughtful, and genuinely warm. He was a wonderful ambassador for Panama and its famously friendly people. We left feeling like we had seen so much more of Panama than we would have on our own.
Carlos was a wonderful guide and we learned so much about Panama. He as so kind and patient answering all our questions. We highly recommend this tour.
Ivan was the best tour guide ever! He was very knowledgeable and fun to be around. I never expected to learn so much history in one day. Ivan for President of Panama!!
