Great canal and city tour - Richard was a great guide. Informative and made sure we saw all the highlights of the city and the canal. Got us to the canal as the last ship was moving through the lock so we didn't miss it.

A Good day Out - This tour was worth every bit of my day out...hosted by driver/tour guide Tony he made the day very personal with lots of information about Panama it's history and its people...though it was the two of us on this tour it was quite good...everything was planned and timed to suit every bit of the itinerary Tony was professional...from hotel pickup to drop off, the day ran smooth...the Panama canal with it's engineering wonder to all our stops at the Bride of the Americas to Amador Causeway, Casco Viejo and top it off with lunch at the Mariscos...all made for a lovely day...I highly recommend this tour if you only have a short time in Panama City and wants to hit the main highlights.

Wonderful - We had such a great time with Richard! He was knowledgeable and fun. We took a private tour so we could move at our own place. There was so much packed in the half day tour. I would definitely recommend this tour and Richard again. OMG and lunch was THEE BEST

Great Tour - This was a really wonderful trip, very well organized. Richard was a great guide, extremely knowledgeable answering all of our questions, very accommodating, attending to our every needs. The highlight of the trip was the Panama Canal. We arrived early enough to see the ship pass through the Miraflores locks, and watch the imax movie about the canal history. Afterwards, he took us to see some other lovely historic sites in the city. I highly recommend this tour when visiting Panama.

Panama City tour - We had an amazing time learning about the Panama Canal and traveling through the city with Richard our tour guide. He was an amazing tour guide and showed how much he loves Panama with how much information he shared. If you want to learn about Panama and its history of the canal, definitely book this excursion! Richard is amazing!! The title is a bit misleading as it mentions half day but the tour itself is not half day. It’s more like all day. So for future reference, just make sure to tell the clients that it will be most of the day.

Good Enough for the weather - Unfortunately, it rained most of the time, but we did get to see the Panama Canal and watch the movie. Our driver Tony took us to the seafood market where we ate delicious food!
