Layover tour of Panama Canal (not transit tour) ) and old city from airport - Jose of Panamá 365 tours met us at the airport- we had arrived at 6:30 am from LA. After we went through customs and immigration control, we were delighted to see that Jose had arrived early and was waiting for us. We had a knowledgeable private guide who drove us to the Panama Canal visitors center, museum and IMAX theater. We were fortunate to arrive early and see a large vessel crossing the Miraflorres Lock with a bilingual interpreter on site describing the technical process. Jose drove us to Old City in Panama and provided a great suggestion for us to dine for lunch. We had a full itinerary and were back at the airport in time for our fligh at 6:30 pm to Columbia that evening. A wonderful use of a layover in Panama.

Danyal was awesome! - Danyal was my guide for this tour and he was awesome. Very hospitable and knowledgeable about the country and city. His passion for the country is very evident - he pretty much sold me on getting a retirement home in the country! Lol All around, it was a great experience and great way to see the major highlights in the city if you are there for a layover.

Interesting Tour - Danyal took us on the city tour and Amadour causeway. It was a pleasant and informative experience. Danyal also provided us with sound advice on reasonable places to shop. I needed to do an account transfer but had no data on my phone. Danyal shared his wifi with me. He is a wonderful tour guide my husband and him hit it off very well. Danyal speaks fluent English so we had no problems which is a big plus. I recommend this Doscover Panama 365 to anyone visiting Panama. They are very professional, friendly, prompt. Very knowledgeable of the history of Panama.

Great day trip while connecting - This Daytrip is not to be missed!
We were tired and sick from a long trip but decided to do our scheduled layover trip and was so glad we did.
Easy customs in Panama city and the driver picked us up at the exit of the airport. We had a nice airconditioned vehicle and he catered the tour to our needs. We spent the morning seeing the Panama Canal which was on our bucket list. We spend the rest of the day seeing the old town after a nice lunch and some shopping. The old town is definitely worth the trip.
Overall catered to our needs and good day trip! Highly recommended and such a good overview that I'd love to come back to Panama City and do more touring in Panama!

Excellent and memorable trip - My husband and I visited Panama from December 28 to January 2, 2018 and were met by Daynal Ali (Tour Operator) at the airport. We have been to Panama several times in the past but this time was much more memorable than our previous trips as Danyal took control of us immediately upon arrival. He was very courteous, punctual, polite and most of all his Trinidad accent made us felt as home. He was quite helpful and very knowledgeable about the city and the tour to the Canal was excellent. He was always in touch with us to make sure our stay at the hotel was comfortable and always willing to take us around anywhere we wanted. I can recommend his company to anyone visiting Panama to be home away from home.
Thank you very much for your assistance and kindness and we will surely recommend your Company to all our friend and family.

Fun tour - Did this tour on a ten hour layover in Panama. Tour guide was amazing- friendly and knowledgeable. We visited the Canal, did a city tour and stopped for an authentic Panamanian lunch at a quaint seaside restaurant. All that, then returned to the airport for our flight! Perfect.

no warm welcome - - when we arrived the airport nobody was there to pick us up, I had to contact them and they managed to be there 30 minutes later
- explanations by the driver were good, however, he was not very talkative
- water and snacks were only offered after I asked and the driver stoped by a supermarket to get them
- the tour was interesting
I would probably try a cheaper operator next time
