5.00This was an amazing tour. Ronald was extremely knowledgeable and entertaining. He told us the best place to take pictures and the canal tour itself was great and walking through Casco Viejo to the main plazas. We enjoyed and would highly recommend.
An excellent experience.

5.00This is a great introduction to the Panama Canal and some city highlights. Dimos was our guide and he knew exactly how to get us the best Panama Canal experience. We were first in line, first on the observation deck, and he even had an app tracking ships to make sure we'd see one coming through and we did! I truly appreciate his knowledge and hustle in getting us to the right spot at the right time. He shared lots about Panama history, what it's like living there and more while we were driving and was open to questions. We drove by and made some smaller stops before ending in Casco Viejo for a walking tour. Would highly recommend this tour and Dimos for the Canal and a Panama City introduction. I will add, we took the tour on a Sunday and I'm so glad we did because we experienced no traffic in the areas and we were able to slow down as we drove by certain spots. Something to consider!

Good overview of the canal and Casco with Dimos

5.00Good overview of the canal and Casco with Dimos. After the canal visit and IMAX, most of the time was spent in the van (with A/C) driving over the Bridge of the Americas, Amador Causeway, and then around Casco Viejo with a few stops for souvenirs and snacks. Especially if staying in Casco, it’s a good way to start a visit to learn the canal history and function and then get a feel for the area.

Panama 🇵🇦 City Tour

5.00Our tour guide Gabrielle was excellent. He shared so much history about Panama. I didn’t think that I would enjoy the Panama Canal tour but it was worth it. Morgan Freeman narrating the movie in 3D was spectacular. Visiting casoco Viejo AKA Old Town was the icing on the cake. The food and drinks were great and not too expensive.
Amazing Day!
