Awesome visit to Panama Canal & Old City - This tour was just right , experienced an oil tanker and two ferries going thru the canal. The old city tour was great, the guide , Dan knew all the perfect spots for photo ops. We even spotted a sloth on an almond tree. Feeding the fishes while the birds tried to grab the bread before it hits the water was such fun.

Despite rain - great experience! - Our guide was amazing! He got us to the Miraflores locks at the Panama Canal in time to see a ship pass through, which was a marvel to experience. Even though we had some rain, he made the best of it and we learned a lot about the history of Panama, the Canal, and Casco Viejo.

Great Tour, Incredible Guide! - My husband and I booked this tour as part of a 7 day trip to Panama for our honeymoon. It was absolutely fantastic! We were conveniently picked up from our hotel, and were greeted by our friendly guide for the day Dan. Dan was extremely knowledgable and outgoing, and seemed to know all the special spots (and best photo opportunities) throughout the city. Having a private tour made us feel very catered to and comfortable, and we were able to customize the day to our interests and pace. We felt like we saw and accomplished so much by the end of the day when we were dropped off at our hotel. This tour is a great option if you want to explore and learn more about Panama City, and we wouldnt hesitate to recommend it for anyone looking for an incredible day.

Private tour guide not well prepared - We were picked up at our hotel, our private tour car was dirty, the front window , one whole viewing side was covered in something, he could have cleaned it but didn’t try. No water was provided as it was stated. We had an English speaking tour guide who was not proficient in the language, hard to understand. Very disappointing. We asked to go back to our hotel early.
