5.00Jesus was a great tour guide never speared us any details actively engaging with three Jamaicans’ to the most interesting experience of my visit to Panamá. Started at the old province through the French quarter to bayside shore/the dock and near by duty free plazas from there to the Panamá canal. Which by any means was a breath taking experience as well think I did a bit too much research and already studied the place and history of my stay but Jesus did us justice with letting feel like we belong here and constantly with inquiring about our experience and general knowledge about where we are. Jesus this is our first visit to Panamá and you made it something to remember.🥷🏾🇵🇦🕺🏾#The panama tour guy to call

5.00I enjoyed the tour, but felt a little rushed. The ship had just entered the second chamber and we didn’t stay to see the entire process because we were told to go to the theatre to catch the presentation. I would still book this tour because it was informative.

2.00Our tour was awful! The tour guide was 1.5 hours late to get us. We drove around for a bit then was taken to the fish market for lunch, which was not part of the itinerary. Afterward we went to the Panama Canal but arrived so late we were unable to see the IMAX movie. Horrible!!!
Exceptional Tour
