Levi was a fantastic guide for our day in Panama City off the cruise ship! He picked us up from the port in Colon in a clean, air conditioned vehicle. He spoke perfect English. He took us into Panama City with a perfect itinerary. We stopped at the harbor to admire the gorgeous city views and the Bridge of the Americas. We had a walking tour of Casca Viejo, which included a hidden gem in Iglesia de San Jose - the largest nativity scene I have ever seen. We stopped for a traditional Panamanian lunch and had amazing food that was both beautifully presented and delicious. We went into a shop that handcrafts beautiful Panama hats and were treated to a view of the VIP area with a Teddy Roosevelt replica and a $35K USD hat that took over a year to make. Then Levi took us to the Miraflores Locks visitor center, where he produced tickets to the 40 minute documentary on the canal in Imax, narrated by Morn Freeman. Then we exited the building to a stadium viewing area and watched ships going through the locks while an announcer explained what we were viewing, how it worked, and the specs of the ships passing through. Then Levi made sure we returned to our ship with plenty of time to spare. Besides planning a perfect day for us in Panama, Levi was friendly, likable, knowledgeable, and gave us so much valuable information and insight into Panamanian culture, history, and architecture. This tour had it all and we highly recommend you request Levi for your tour guide!!!

The viewing at the Canal was great.. Our guide timed it so we would view a ship going through the canal. Which was interesting. We did not have enough time to watch the Imax movie. We stopped for a nice lunch in Panama city. Did not have time for museum nor seeing much of the city. We got lost a fun times and had to stop for gas Not the quality tour we would have expected from viator. All of the other tours we have gone on with viator have been wonderful.

Our guide was great, very informative, catered to us and took good care of us. The amount we paid was too high compared to other alternatives. Although we had a great experience, we could have done this excursion much cheaper via taxi.

Alberto was a very conscientious and knowledgeable driver and guide. We really enjoyed his kind nature and ability to listen to his customers desires and respond appropriately. Well done.
