Great overview of Panamá City! - Great time with Edwing touring Panamá City and its most important sites! Highly recommend - we were picked up from the airport and taken right to the Panama Canal in time to see the last ship pass through in the morning. Edwing shared Panama’s history with us as we explored the city.

Excellent Layover Tour with Edwing - Edwing is a wonderful guide! He is very knowledgeable and I enjoyed learning about the history of Panama as we explored Casco Viejo and later drove towards the canal. It was fascinating to see a ship go through the Miraflores Locks.
The empeñada in Casco Viejo was the best I’ve ever had and I also enjoyed lunch on the Amador Causeway. Edwing even added a quick stop to search for a sloth since I had never seen one in the wild!
Overall it was an amazing experience and I highly recommend requesting Edwing for your tour. There is so much to do and see and I can’t wait to plan my next trip to Panama!

Highly recommend - This was a great tour to be able to see the canal and key places in Panama if you have a longer layover. It was very easy and we felt safe the entire time. Edwin was so knowledgeable and passionate about Panama, which helped us learn a lot.

Excellent layover not to be missed - Excellent tour and Panama is not to be missed if you have a layover. First Levy was exactly the kind of guide we dream of.

Wonderful layover tour! - The best part of this tour is the flexibility of the sightseeing and time scheduling. We just wanted a relaxed tour with very few sites to visit, as we have been to Panama City before. So much more enjoyable than having to spend a day at the airport!
