Wonderful Panama City experience - Our guide, Aura, was exceptional. She took us to several places, explaining details we would have never been able to know on our own and was a calm and patient guide. Would highly recommend this tour and the value was great.

Day 1 - Intro to Panama - Aura is an amicable and down to earth person. I felt comfortable with her right away. We enjoyed stops at Panama Canal, Amador Causeway, Casco Viejo, and Mercado de Mariscos - where we finished with lunch. Aura then dropped me at the same location where she had picked me up. Muchas gracias Rod for the shoutout at the canal - and thanks Aura for being a lovely person and guide! This was a great way to get oriented to the area on my first, full day in Panama.

Very interesting tour of Panama canal and old town - I had a great experience with Maria as guide. The canal and old town tours were both amazing. Knowing the history behind the canal made the tour much more fascinating and Maria was very knowledgeable and told the history of Panama and the canal wonderfully.

Learning experience - I loved this tour. I leaned about the history of Casco Viejo and the history of the Panama Canal. I also enjoyed the beautiful views of the Causeway Islands. I took a lot of pictures and met great tour guides Aura and Roderick.

A really informative tour from a confident expert very good value for money - Very informative tour. Our guide knew a great deal about the Canal and it's history. We passed through ticketing quickly and the guide Elmer knew many people there He made sure I was on good positions throughout so I could see the passage of a cargo ship through the locks and out back into the Canal headed for the Pacific
