Ahh Panamá! - Wonderful tour! Had a ton of fun exploring the city! The people..the food..the culture were exquisite! The canal was nice. Very cool to see how the Panamá canal worked and how it provided so much for the people! While there, there’s a movie about the canal that unfortunately we did not get to see. However, a gentleman named “Roderick” was kind enough to help us after we could not see the show by suggesting other alternatives! Great guy! The highlight of the trip was the amazing downtown area! culture was so beautiful! The shops..the women..the dancing..the food and the drinks were Divine! Lovely time for sure! Definitely would go again.

Great tour - Awesome tour of Casco Viejo and the canal! Our guide, Ricardo, was able to answer all of our questions and provided a lot of details about the city and canal. If you would like a view of the city and suggestions from a local, I would def recommend this tour.

Explorando Casco Viejo - The visit was very interesting. Our Guide Rafael was very friendly and gave us a lot of information about Panama and its surroundings. We highly recommend this visit to discover the Old Town and get to know the country better.

Epic, historical, and fun! - Rafael is very passionate about the history of Panama which made this tour epic. His English is great. I learned more about the Canal from Rafael and Roderick than from the IMAX movie. Roderick was hilarious as well as informative. He had us all excited as ship entered the locks. I would highly recommend this tour and wouldn’t hesitate to do again if in Panama again.

My Private Miraflores canal locks and Casco Viejo walking Tour w/ Jorge on 7/20/24 - My guide (Jorge) was fantastic! Not only was he kind & patient, but he had a great mix of history, local knowledge and personal stories to keep me entertained and engaged throughout which made it easier to understand the country/city & people much better. The tour was a mixture of Old Town history, some Art, cool architecture & a little bit of souvenir shopping. He also suggested a wonderful restaurant by the name of Marea Casco Ceviche and Latin Food (Chefs Kiss) Absolutely delicious. Highly recommend him & will be booking w/ him again when I return to the beautiful country of Panama next year.
