Great day in Panama City - To our surprise we were just the two of us! We were picked up exactly on time from the cruise terminal and after that we had ample time to visit all the nice places. Despite a terrible traffic jam in the old city, Gabriel managed to get us everywhere where we needed to go and more. The imax movie and visit to the locks was impressive and exactly on time to see the first ships coming down from the Carrebian . All in all high value for money thanks to our great guide

Private tours are worth it! - My friend and I booked this tour and it was perfect! We got picked up by our tour guide and he took us around to all the places listed in the itinerary. He was very knowledgeable and gave information about everywhere we went along with some history of places that were historic. He wait for us while we sat down for lunch at flamenco island, before going onto the rest of the tour. It was a very efficient way of looking at all (well some of course, not ALL) the historical places in Panama. Safe. Inexpensive; worth it! Our tour guide was Joey! Just a few of the many pics we took……

Great day despite the rain. - Jose our tour guide was awesome! He is very knowledgeable and answered all our questions. Despite the rain we made the most if it. We visited many sites that I really don't think we would have done on our own.

Great customized tour - Orlando was the perfect tour guide, fun, knowledgeable, and catered to our tour style that was more here, less time there. Part of the charm was how knowledgeable he was about Panamá as a whole, not just the tour sites. He bestowed great knowledge about the city and the culture of Panamá. If you're looking for a fun and really cool person to show you the sights, he's your person.

A wonderful tour - We had a wonderful day with Dwayne our tour guide yesterday. We covered a lot of grounds, the old town, the canel and the Amador causeway. we would not have been able to do all of it in one day on our own. Dwayne is very knowledgeable of the past and present Panama. He is very helpful, always offering to take our pictures, answer all of our questions and recommended a lovely restaurant at the marina. Highly recommend this tour to everyone.

Private tour experience with Jose - The guide (Jose Espinosa) made the experience really special. We toured San Felipe, Amador, Balboa, and walking tour gave us so many opportunities to be fully immersed in culture, history, shopping and lots of photos to capture every special landmark! Highly recommend and ask for Jase!

Very nice first day in Panama - Jose our driver/guide was excellent throughout. Took us first to the Amador Causeway. Had our photos taken by the Panama sign, but for some reason they did not turn out. Not his fault, was the setting on my dumb camera. Oh well! He took us all around the Old Town and let us stop several places when we saw something we wanted to buy. He has us take a break at a nice spot looking over the bay (was a combination gift shop/cocktail bar). The drinks were very good. Then off to the Panama Canal. That IMAX movie narrated by Morgan Freeman was pretty amazing and well worth the admission. Going out to the viewing platform wasn't so wonderful though as it was very hot, not nearly enough seating and not nearly enough shaded. Was difficult to endure and you can only watch water levels go up and down for so long until you're a bit bored. I am very happy that I didn't take a tour done by boat/ship. Not for me. Overall, very nice first day for us in Panama with an excellent and friendly guide/driver.
