Private tour of Panama City and Miraflores Canal - Jose Odiaga was our guide for the day. He made multiple accommodations to help with our two younger children and as well as my two older parents. He explained everything well and made the experience enjoyable and informative. We had a wonderful experience with him.

If you value you time and space this is the way to go! - Our guide George arrived early at our hotel pickup in a clean, comfortable vehicle with proper air conditioning. He was very thorough in explaining what the tour highlights would be and tailored it to our party’s interest. His English was great…as were his restaurant and shopping recommendations. We had plenty of time at each of the stops and the tour never felt rushed or stretched out. The Canal tour tickets should be purchased online if it’s a busy day (thankfully today was not). The IMAX movie is a nice treat. This is the perfect way to see the city!

Pleasant excursion but not quite cheap considering that you are still being funneled through shopping stamps. - Pleasant guide / driver with good English. Has also considered our wishes regarding itinerary. The fact is, however, that he has to go through certain shopping stamps and must not omit these also wishes of the traveller, since he is monitored via his mobile phone with regard to the itinerary of the organizer. It was very annoying that even though we had booked at least two months before the tour we only got a link 40 minutes before the tour via WhatsApp asking us to procure the tickets not included in the price for the visit of the Panama Canal before the start of the trip. We only saw the WhatsApp message after questioning our guide at all, as we don't carry the phone in front of our face all the time.
