5.00Very friendly and very knowledgeable guide on the places visited. It gives us sound advice on where to eat and where to shop. I changed the date of my visit to 48 hours in advance and the staff immediately made the necessary adjustments. The changes were made within an hour of my request and in a very professional manner.

5.00We had a fantastic time touring Panama City, and we lucked out with one of the best guides--Eric, who everyone seemed to know. We covered the historic sites, learned a lot of history, and visited the Panama Canal IMAX theater and saw a huge cargo ship passing through the canal. The private tour gives you a lot more time to see and do things. Highly recommended.
Great way to see Panama...

5.00We did a private tour with Louis our guide who was very accommodating. We did not realize that we were going to hike up the hillside to the top to see the flag but Louis let us pace ourselves. The view was spectacular well worth the hike. We then went through Casco Viejo & stopped at a restaurant for lunch which was delicious. Off to the Geisha coffee shop where we sampled different coffees & had complimentary rum coffee delicious then off to the Panama Canal. A wonderful experience with Louis.
Panama my way!!
