Fantastic tour value for short layovers in Panama City. - What a fantastic half day exploring Panama City with our guide Demetrio.
Stepped out of the cruise port terminal, and there was Demetrio holding a placard with my name. Our party of six walked a few more steps and we were off in our air conditioned van for our guided adventure of Panama City and the canal.
I highly recommend this tour for anyone that wants the history of Panama City and the canal, presented by a local that brings you to the most interesting and important locations providing information that can only come from a local.
Excellent value, and thank you Demetrio for making our time in Panama unforgettable.

Great Tour with Dan! A Must Do! - Superb tour with lots of fun. Kiddos had a blast too! Dan was our tour guide and he was a joy to spend our layover with. We actually spent a night in Panama so he picked us up at the hotel. The kids wanted to be around him and he entertained them. Went to the Canal and he helped us around the museum. Loaded us up with history throughout the tour. Drove us to old town and recommended some good food (which was delicious). Perfect option for anytime that has 4 or 5 hours in Panama.

Layover in Panama City - This is the most beautiful city I have ever been. My tour guy Dan, is such an amazing person. His knowledge of the country and the city is of another level. I learned a lot and gained so much knowledge. A tour to the Panama Canal superb and to see the vessel actually passing was surreal.
