Private Tour: Culture And History Of Panama City

Good in depth overview and introduction to Panama! Daniela did a very thorough job explaining the history of places visited and it was clear she had a passion for history! The private tour was perfect as it was 1st day in the city.

Demetri was phenomenal. Very knowledgeable on the different areas and their significance. Was also very friendly. Took time for us to shop and ask questions. Knew so much history. I thoroughly enjoyed all of his explanations. I enjoyed that it was private tour with just 3 girls. We were able to customize what we wanted to see. Truly recommend it for anyone coming to Panama for the first time.

Our guide was excellent. Dan knew answers to everything we asked and was very proactive in taking care of us and showing us so many places Panama City has to offer. He toured Panama Viejo with us and explained what we were looking at. Once we arrived in Old Town, he walked through the streets and he pointed out many restaurants, shops and museums to see. He took us to the Molas museum, which is fantastic. A must see. . We couldn’t have had a better guide for the day. It was a super day in Panama City.

Demetrio's depth of knowledge made the history interesting and brought it to life. The tour covered the founding of Panama City to it's importance in the present day.

This tour shows and tells so much interesting history of Panama! It's a must for anyone interested in Panama's past. Demetri, hopefully I have his name correct, was very knowledgeable, kind, and patient. He's also in tune with Panama as it exists today!

Dan was amazing! He did a great job sharing the history and culture of Panama. I recommend him highly and will tell all my American friends!

Esteban was a fantastic Panamanian guide with full knowledge of Panama. Had great time with him. He drove us around giving full history of places. Plenty of cold water available all the time

Logan, our guide, was wonderful. He knew a lot about the history of Panama. Was willing to go at our pace.

Logan was so knowledgeable and helpful. He wanted to make certain that we saw Panama City as a native would!

We spent a lively and fascinating 8 hours with the irrepressible guide Claudio Carrasco, of YALA Tours, who drove us all over town, covering both geography and rich history going back centuries and natural history going way back in time. He combined affection for the city with a wide array of knowledge – social, artistic, natural, geologic. By the end of the day with Claudio I and my traveling companions felt we’d made a new friend, and had an unexpected appreciation of the richness of this city. Highly recommended.

Great way to customize a cruise trip! Our trip, our way with a knowledgeable guide who provided excellent highlights.

Logan was Excellent! His insights and perspectives really enhanced the tour for us an made us feel we had a much better understanding of Panama. Highly recommended!

Esteban was a great tour guide very knowledgeable about the history and culture of the city. I would recommend.

Very nice tour that covered the entire city!! It is ALWAYS a pleasure when the tour operator takes pride in ensuring that the customers are having the most enjoyable of times while together. This was absolutely the case on this tour. Very interesting, never a rush and our needs / requests were all addressed. Take this tour if you are looking for a GREAT TIME WONDERFUL LEARNING EXPERIENCE!! WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!

Raphael was so knowledgeable of the history and political activity of Panama. He discussed the recent growth of Panama City while pointing out interesting architecture. He took us to the old canal section, pointing out significant buildings and we visited a small area with museums demonstrating the cultures that make up the current population. We toured the ruins of the ancient city, visiting the museum and drove through the old city section. Unfortunately Saturday traffic was heavy so Raphael took us for an authentic Panamanian lunch! Delicious! I would highly recommend this trip!

Darren my guide was enthusiastic about the locations in Panama City and was clearly knowledgeable about its culture and history. He delivered the tour well with minimal fuss. Well done

Raphael the guide, shares information on history culture and Change of both indigenous and newer populations. He is local and tells from his own experience He knows the staff at the attractions and gets us the best access.

The tour encompassed the complete city, from the old sections, reconstructed areas, commercial sections, to the lower, middle and upper class areas. Guide was very knowedgeable. A first class tour.

Cesar and his team provided an overall daylong package for our group of 8. He picked us up from the airport and drove us to our hotel to check-in. Then we received an informative and helpful overview of Panama city followed by an excellent Panamanian lunch and a great tour of the canal. However, the highlight was the monkey island tour where we were met by all sorts of wildlife - including several monkeys that came aboard the boat. I would HIGHLY recommend Cesar for any/all your tour of Panama. Plus, he is much more reasonable than other tour companies. Book with Cesar and you will not be disappointed.

This tour was awesome! Cesar was a great guide. Very professional, engaging, knowledgeable and accommodating. The tour was interesting, moved at a great pace and encompassed a broad spectrum of Panama City. We learned so much! Our family rates this tour a 10. Our teenage sons even enjoyed it and they are a hard audience to please. We liked Cesar and the tour so much we booked another with him during our trip.
