At this point you can see the change of levels of the ships that transit the Panama Canal, also enjoy a 45-minute documentary on IMAX narrated by Morgan Freeman.
We will travel the majestic bridge of the Americas until we reach its own viewpoint
At this point you can observe in the distance the entrance to the locks of the Canal, port Balboa and Bridge of the Americas (important because it is the first Bridge that joins the continental masses of South and Central America separated by the Canal )
At this point we will visit the narrow streets of the old town and its main squares, make a partial walk through the sights
Here you can see the monument dedicated to the French, the pioneers in starting the construction of the Canal, we will also walk through walk orchards to appreciate the magical view that gives us
Time to stop for one of the most important photos of the Panama Sign tour, take advantage of this walk and visit the Dutty free
Expect that you may have to adjust your plans due to traffic, weather, etc. Terminal is a long walk to meeting point nut venfor has nothing to do with that. Our guide Daniel had lots of facts about his city and country. He wad interested in our take of the city as well. Daniel was also amenable to finding a pharmacy and s place to purchase a classic Panama hat.
Very informative tour on the history of Panama. Jose O. was the BEST tour guide that I have ever had. He customized our tour to our interests while keeping you fully engaged throughout the whole experience….. 10/10!!
Jennifer was the perfect guide. Knowledgeable, energetic, flexible and full of information. We saw the canal, the new and old parts of the city. She shared history, legends and culture. Highly recommend this.
Our guide Jennifer made us feel very comfortable during the tour. She is very knowledgeable about for the Panama canal and has alot of passion for her country. She explained everything we did and gave us the history of the areas we visited. Highly recommend her as a guide
Jennifer was absolutely wonderful!! 💯 points!! She took us to so many beautiful places in such a short amount of time and told us the history behind each one. She was always super friendly and fun, and she was also incredibly sweet with the kids!! We loved her! ❤️
It was a lovely experience. We did the private tour since it was a group of us and it turned out great. Our tour guide Jose was very interactive and did an amazing job as well! Definitely would recommend
Jennifer is the most awesome tour guide we have had. We have traveled in many different countries but Jennifer is above everyone else in sharing her knowledge, compassion and managing the tour very well with 4 seniors.
Jose was absolutely the best. Very knowledgeable and very kind person. I would recommend him 100%. Went above and beyond.
She was an amazing tour guide. She was animated and was very informative. Following the tour with Jennifer, we felt we knew the city pretty well as well as some of its history. She also knew all the great places to eat and take photos. We would highly recommend Jennifer to anyone wanting to learn about the city.
Our guide, Jose, really made this execursion special. While showing us all of the points of interest in Panama City, he shared so many historical details that has made Panama City what it is today. He also had a close relationship with each of the vendors at the points of interest that made the trip feel so special. I HIGHLY recommend this trip, and to do so on your first full day so you have a total lay of the land for deciding what to do with the rest of your time in Panama City. Pura Vida Jose!!
Can’t say enough great things about this tour. Jennifer was our tour guide and she made the entire experience so much fun. She was very personable, funny and had so much knowledge of her country! Pickup at airport was a breeze. Easy to communicate through WhatsApp. She knew exactly how to accommodate seeing everything according to our timeline. Wish we had more time, but for an airport stopover, it was perfect!
Jose was truly an exceptional guide. Very caring and optimized every moment. Went above and beyond to give us every detail and covered way more than promised by the tour. Highly recommend him.
Jennifer is a great guide! Full of life, good energy and she gave us great history lessons and information about Panama and the canal. Jennifer was also great with our 1 year old son. We would tour with her any day again!
Alex is great tour guide..I would recommend him and this tour for anyone looking to visit Panama city to learn its history and The Pana Canal..We had nothing to worry about, He was on top everything which made the experience wonderful. 100% recommend this private tour.
We were very lucky to have Jennifer as our Guide. She was so friendly and knowledgeable. It was clear she was very familiar with the area and stops along the way. We did this tour on our first full day in Panama City and really got a feel for the City and people from her - it enhanced our entire visit overall because of her. We definitely recommend this as a tour and hope everything is as lucky as we were to have Jennifer as our Guide.
Our tour guide Jennifer made this such an amazing tour! She picked us up at our hotel on time, was very welcoming, knowledgeable and fun. She answered our numerous questions and gave useful insight into Panama’s history and culture. We got to see a ship pass through the canal and watched the movie detailing the history of the canal (which we enjoyed). There were a number of other stops and we ended in Casco Viejo which was beautiful. N.B. In the afternoon it can get very hot but the car is air conditioned and becomes a nice reprieve. If you get Jennifer you’re in for an amazing experience!
We had a great Day with our guide Jose. He was extremely knowledgeable about All of Panama. He took us thru Cosco Viejo (Old town) he knew all the great spots to see and visit. He taught us about the History of the town and the founding families. Taught us about Geisha Coffee which is Panama's best. Lunch at the big mall. Finished the Day with a 3D Movie about the build of the Canal. We are Greatful to have Jose as our guide. He is like an old Friend. Thank you Jose for a job well done. Highly recommend him!!!
trust your guide concerning when there are actually ships to be seen as theses not happening all day but only on certain, daily changing, scheduled times
Jennifer, our tour guide, was amazing! We have been on a lot of tours in many places but this was undoubtedly ine of the best ever and we attribute that to her! She made sure we saw everything and learned so much!! Highly recommend this tour and I hope you get Jennifer!
Jennifer was an excellent guide. She was knowledgeable and friendly. The vehicle was clean and comfortable. I enjoyed our time seeing the Panamá Canal and old town Panama.
Our Tour Guide Jennifer was absolutely wonderful. She was very knowledgeable, friendly and she spoke perfect English. She also knows the history of Panama very well. The tour was very good. We enjoyed learning how the canal works and walking through the old city. This tour is a must do in Panama.

Truly wonderful morning with Alex as our guide. Alex is very knowledgeable and accommodating. I mentioned that I’m an artist and he took us to an art studio.
A great tour...Jose was very knowledgeable and was very helpful to give us a complete overview of Panama in a few short hours. Highly recommend.
We had an excellent tour guide - Jennifer, for our Panama Canal and Panama City tour! She was knowledgeable, energetic, and matched the vibe of our group perfectly. She took us to the best spots around the city, - a great lunch spot, and even showed us both the good and the rougher areas to give us a real feel for Panama. She shared so much history and made the entire experience engaging and memorable. Highly recommend!
Our tour guide Jennifer made the tour fun , memorable and with a good experience…. She was also patient with all 16 of us ladies and ensured we didn’t get lost and all that we all equally had a good time..
Our girl Jennifer...Simply the best of the best!!!!!! She needs a promotion! Her expertise on everything related to Panama, her passion while narrating and simply the warm way in which she interacted with us made us want to definitely come back to Panama again and book with your company. I have made several referrals of this company to my friends and asked them to ask for none other than Jennifer. God bless that girl for me. Simply love her.
We enjoyed our tour! Jennifer was awesome! She arrived before our scheduled time. She was polite and patient with us. She explained everything and answered all our questions. She was cooperative and worked with us and made sure all our needs were met during the tour. We were a big group but she was great the entire time.
Very enjoyable tour showing the old and new Panama City and the canal. Juan accommodated us by varying the itinerary to match our needs. He was very friendly and knowledgeable. My only quibble is that I did not need the chocolate shop upsell
Jose gave us a wonderful tour today of the Miraflores locks, the islands and the old town where he recommended a wonderful restaurant. He accommodated our specific interests and was very helpful, caring and informative the entire time. We really appreciate the kind attention he gave us.
The tour went very well. Our tour guide, Jennifer, was outstanding. Friendly and knowledgeable, she took us around providing an interesting history of what we were seeing. She knew all the best places to stand for views of the canal, and places for pictures. Following her through the streets of Panama City, we felt like VIPs as she knows everyone along the route and that made our access very easy. She showed us all sides of Panama City, from the Presidential areas to the more unfortunate neighbourhoods. My wife immensely enjoyed the tour as well.
The tour was just awesome, and that was mostly because of our tour guide, JENNIFER. Jennifer was so very knowledgeable, and articulate. Her personality is very suitable for the job. She is a sweet soul and a true asset to this company. Keep up the good work Jennifer. We love you, and will see you when we come back to Panama. YOU ARE A TRUE GEM...👍🏾👏🏾👏🏾💞❤️💯✨️✅️✅️
Our tour guide, Jennifer was great and knowledgeable about the area, she took very good care of us, she went above and beyond to help us and made our visit memorable.

Jennifer with Panamaroutes was awesome! She was very patient with our big group. She is very knowledgeable and friendly.
Our tour guide Jennifer was so knowledgeable in many different subjects and a wonderful history buff. She went over and above to accommodate us
We had a great experience with our tour guide Jennifer. When we walked out of the airport, Jennifer was there already waiting for she. The minivan was comfortable for the six of us and all our luggage. Jennifer was super knowledgeable and easy to talk to. She’s very flexible to accommodate our needs. We had a great time and would highly recommend this tour and Jennifer as the guide.
Alex gave us a great tour of the canal and city. He grew up in Panama City so knows a lot about its history. We had a great time! We highly recommend this tour, and also recommend Alex!

Jennifer was an excellent guide. Thanks for all the comprehensive explanations.
Great tour! Jose was right on time and took us to see all of the Panama City sites before getting us back to the airport for our flight home. We had a long layover and this was the perfect way to spend it. We loved our time with Jose and enjoyed learning about the beautiful Panama City!
Jennifer picked our group up right at the ship. She was a real professional and did a wonderful job guiding our group of 12 throughout our tour which required some special assistance for one member of our party. She managed the process flawlessly and gave us a good overview of the canal and city. We finished the tour with a terrific meal. They adapted the tour to fit the requirements of our cruise schedule and were great to work with. Thanks for a job well done.
My daughter and I can’t thank Jenifer ( tour guide) for her professional, friendly and informative service. We’ve had many guided tours over the years and this guided tour is one of the best if not the best. Jenifer is very knowledgeable of the areas she took us to Panama exploring its streets , culture and people.. She’s the friendliest tour guide and we are very lucky to have experienced the beauty of Panama 🇵🇦 by her. Highly recommended 👍👍👍👍👍
We had an absolutely fantastic experience with our tour guide, Alex! From start to finish, he was punctual, professional, and incredibly accommodating to our needs. He worked with us to reschedule because our plans went haywire at the last minute. His knowledge about the Panama Canal and the history, culture, and hidden gems of Panama was truly impressive—it felt like we were getting insights you just wouldn’t find anywhere else. He explained everything in a way that was engaging and easy to understand, even for the kids. Speaking of which, my 3 teen children, absolutely loved him! He was patient, friendly, and made a real effort to include them, which made the whole experience even more special for our family. Beyond all that, he’s simply a kind and genuine person who clearly cares about giving his guests a great experience. We couldn’t have asked for a better guide and would highly recommend him to anyone visiting Panama!
Jose was absolutely amazing! He was so well educated and informed us on all there is to know about the history of Panama! We explored so much that we would have never been able to get to without him. He even expanded our tour a bit to see more than we could have on our own. His recommendations were also incredible. Definitely book this! It was so worth it. We did the private tour and Jose became part of our family!
Alex was phenomenal. Knowledgeable, personable and flexible… and we really challenged him! Being from Panama his perspective was welcomed. The history of the different areas was at his fingertips, recommendations were flowing and suggestions were at-the-ready. I cannot recommend him enough.
Jennifer was such an attentive and knowledgeable tour guide. We loved her energy, pride for her country and love for her job. Excellent customer care. I highly recommend her!
We had the most amazing time with our guide Mr Jose. He picked us up in a clean and spacious ride that fit our family of four perfectly considering my son’s long legs. We had an excellent tour of New and “old” Panamá, thanks to the most wonderful tour guide Jose; a true Panamanian. We learned so much about the culture and history of Panamá that we would be happy to relocate anytime. Mr Jose, my family truly appreciate all you did for us and the extra care you took to make sure we were comfortable. Thank you so much for your kind heart and warm personality. You made our visit to Panama City fun, exciting and memorable.
