Awesome trip. Dimos was a great tour guide. He was on time, made sure all guests were on time for all the activities, gave very clear instructions and went over and above. I will definitely do more tours with the company.

Our tour started promptly started on time with our driver and guide Eustacio. We had an amazing time. Eustacio was engaging, funny and a truly nice person. I strongly suggest asking for him if you book this tour. Panama City is beautiful and we saw many great parts of it.
A tour with a lot of history that you can not miss in Panama

This is not an option. You have to do this and with Dimos. He’s the best guide I’ve had the pleasure of meeting. His knowledge, presence and attention to the group’s wants was beyond expectations. 1000% Dimos for the win!!!
Out of this world experience

My experience was one I will never forget. The wonder of the Panama Canal had me in awe. I appreciated seeing the documentry by Morgan Freeman because, if you didn't understand the operations it definitely explained it all. Our guide Primos did a superb job keeping us informed and ensuring our safety. I highly recommend this tour.
