Take the full day tour! You won't regret it! - This tour is a great way to see a lot of things in one day! Be aware that the visit to Ancon Hill is a hike! It was hot (even early in the morning) but it was worth it! The views are incredible and we saw a couple of sloths along the way. :) Wear comfy shoes and moisture-wicking clothes for this tour. Walking all over Casco Viejo is a treat! We enjoyed the Panama Canal and the Amador Causeway (wish we could have spent more time exploring there!) Our guides were personable and helpful. Very accommodating. The vehicle was clean, cool and comfortable as well. Highly recommend this tour!

Perfect layover tour! - We had a layover in Panama so figured we should make the most of it and it was absolutely worth it! Our guides name is Aldo and he had so much history and knowledge to offer on all the sites we were scheduled to see. There was so much to see that we’ll probably go back! Thank you, Aldo!

Panama City's Highlights in One Action-Packed Day - We had a wonderful day with our guide Edwin. Panama Your Way arranged pick up at our hotel in Rio Hato and Edwin met us at the canal. He was very knowledgable about the canal and Panama in general. After watching a large boat passing through the Mira Flores locks and the engines positioning it, we watched the IMAX film (a great overview). From there, we headed to Ancon Hill, hiked to the top, saw 2 sloths (!! a highlight) and a toucan then were ready for lunch. La Sirena lunch at the causeway was fine. Off to Casco Viejo (Panama City's old town) for strolling, sightseeing and shopping and a fantastic iced local coffee. The tour packed a lot in to a single well organized day - highly recommend!
