Perfect for Panama - Miguel did a great job of coordinating and helping me maximize my few hours in Panama. He was very attentive to my personal flight schedule and kept me updated on our stops and timing. With his help, I learned a lot about the Panama Canal, saw ships passing through, saw a sloth, and got some amazing viewpoints and pictures. If you want to see the places on the itinerary, you need to book this tour because it’s a great value compared to how much it would cost to arrange the sightseeing yourself.

Well spent layover and great guide - Logan was knowledgeable and efficient and was a pleasure to have as a guide. In a 4 hour period we were able to see a quick tour of the Panama Canal and an imax movie about the history of the canal. We went through the old and new cities and got a great overview of the area. Well spent layover.

Miguel is a very knowledgeable guide and timed the visit to the Panamá canal perfectly so I can see 2 big ships going through the locks and the canal . He also recommended s few very good spots for buying souvenirs! Thank you, Miguel , for a great experience in Panamá City!

Best layover city tour - The tour with Miguel is one of the best tours I ever had on Viator. It was like getting to see Panama with a local friend, very knowledgeable of the city. We had a good time visiting the old city, seeing boats getting through the Canal, plus a tasty lunch in a local restaurant. Definitely recommend him!
