Perfect, quick tour of Panama! - Edgar was a fantastic guide showing me the city and canal with a ton of great information about the history and culture of the country. He made sure to include as much as possible while also remaining attentive of my flight times and staying within the 2 hours.

First visit to Panama - For starter, the timeliness of The pickup from the hotel. The calmness, gentle manner of Edgar. The comfort of the vehicle. The temperature of the vehicle. The thoroughness of the history of Panama and the Panama Canal. The timing of visiting the canal during the incoming of a ship. Took time to offer breaks, getting food and drink. Definitely worth the 2 or more hours. Would definitely recommend. Would definitely do again! All our heart this was the most calm, relaxing tour of Panama we have experienced thus far.

A must do for those with little time! - My trip to Panama City was short, but sweet and Edgar certainly was the element that made this short trip worth while. This tour gave me the opportunity to view popular sites of Panama without standing in the blazing heat! Edgar had a well of knowledge for each site he took me to, and was able to answer all of my questions without pause. I thoroughly enjoyed the lectures about Panama's history, but enjoyed our personal conversation as well. If you're in a time crunch, this is a must do!

Perfect tour guide, easy tour! - Edgar was a phenomenal tour guide! He was responsive, flexible, and full of great advice and information that made the tour perfect. He showed me some places I didn’t even know to ask about. He was also a great photographer since I didn’t have anyone with me to take pictures of me at the sights. Edgar is very personable and professional. I can fully recommend this tour, and especially Edgar if you need a tour guide!
