Layover in Panama City - We had an 8-hour layover in Panama City and we decided to take a tour. We used layover Panama and they did a great job. Once we left customs in Panama airport. Saul was waiting with a sign to pick us up. He explained a lot about Panama and the Panama canal. We went to the Miraflores visitor center and saw the IMAX movie about the Panama canal and then we got to see a big cargo ship go through the lock. We then went to the Flamenco marina which had a great view of the city and also you can see boats that had gone through the lot or were waiting to go through the locks. We also went to the old town area and went to a church built around 1670. Saul had us back to the airport in plenty of time for our flight. Saul was excellent. I would recommend this tour if you have a long enough layover in Panama City.

City tour - Ed was a great tour guide he even came to other terminal when we somehow ended up there instead of the one he was supposed to pick us up at. He had all sorts of information plus great restaurant recommendations.

Great long layover material - Levy was such a wonderful host. Very personable and knew a lot of history of the country. Even with some traffic on our way to the airport we made it back in time for our flight. Good use of a layover!

Great experience! - Great experience touring Panama City and Panama Canal. Levy is a very knowledgeable guide. No moment is dull as he is chatty and interact well with the visitor. He knows the history well and definitely knows which spot gets the best pictures and view! I feel safe being with him during the visit as a female solo traveller. Strongly recommended to you! Panama has soooo much more to offer, if I ever come back again, I will look for this tour company!
