5.00Without our guide, we probably did not know how to line up when purchasing the ticket. Also when to walk hurry to get a great spot to watch the canal. After the canal, he just took us to spots to take memorable photos

5.00We had a great experience with Cesar. He was on time for the pic up. He tailored our experience to what we wanted to see and explore. He is very knowledgeable about the history of Panama and the landmarks of the city. He was patient and helpful to our mother who is an 82-year old lady with mobility problems. He drove carefully and his van is very clean and comfortable for a group of 3 adults and 2 children. Definitely a company to use again. Thank you!
Great experience
