5.00We booked a private tour with Panama Your Way during a layover in Panama City. We were met by our guide, Aldo, right at the door of the airport, and he was AMAZING! We asked to learn the history of the city, and did he deliver!! Super knowledgeable, amazingly friendly, and knew the city and all the short cuts like the back of his hand! And he speaks MULTIPLE languages! We had such a great day! I cannot say enough good things about this company! 14/10 would recommend.
Great Tour Guide & Great Tour.

5.00The tour was set up to visit sites in a chronological order, from the oldest in Panama to the next oldest…. Carlos kept us informed and entertained. We learned a lot about the history, culture, and people of Panama. This tour is well worth the price and time, as Carlos is a superb guide.
Take This Tour!!

5.00Amazing! Gabriel was an amazing guide. There were some potential closures due to a dignitary visit, but he masterfully moved around the schedule to accommodate those and we were still able to see everything possible. He is a kind and knowledgeable tour guide.
Great Company and Awesome Guide!

5.00I’ve had really mixed experiences with private tours throughout Europe—ranging from just ok to downright awful. But this company was first-rate and my guide Aldo is an 11 on a ten point scale. Knowledgeable, funny, warm, kind, professional, he is the total package. I was extremely lucky to have him show me the city. We had lunch at a local restaurant that served amazing food and, when I mentioned I would love to buy a “real” Panamá hat, we made our way to a tiny hat shop where I was properly fitted with a gorgeous hat and even given a hatbox to carry it home. The arrangements and logistics were superb. So if you want to be assured of a great trip, this is the company- and Aldo is THE guide!

5.00THe tour guide had so much knowledge and gave as an outsider a new perspective on panamanian history. THE views were amazing and we got to see interesting historical places around both of the old cities.Tour guide was very good and answered questions. I can warmly recommend the history tour if you want to know more about panama than just sights.
