We will start the experience by visiting two of the most popular tourist attractions in the country: the world-famous Panama Canal and the Casco Viejo(Colonial City). Our first or last stop could be the Miraflores visitor center(depending on the transit schedule of the ships), where we will see the Canal in full action and watch up close vessels passing through the locks. We will also enjoy a 3D movie at the IMAX Theater. After that, we'll travel along Balboa Avenue, taking in the sights of modern Panama City, also known as the "Manhattan of Central America," until we reach our final destination, the Colonial Casco Viejo.

5.00We had a very enjoyable and informative tour. Our tour guide Jorge did everything he could to make our tour exactly what we were hoping for. He was very knowledgeable about the history of Panama and everything we were seeing.
Excellent tour of Old Town Panama and Miraflores Lock.

5.00Our guide Jorge arrived promptly to collect us from the hotel. He drove us through the Old Town and we then walked much of the area. All the time Jorge was educating us with the history of the Old Town, the buildings, Government, etc. He had amazing and interesting knowledge of both history and current affairs. He then drove us to the Miraflores canal Locks Visitor centre and again, regaling us with the history of the Panama Canal. His timing for entry to watch the film and experience of 2 huge ships entering the locks was perfect. Jorge was the perfect guide and gentleman. If we have a return visit to Panama we would certainly ask for Jorge to be our guide.
Lovely

5.00In a word, awesome! Our tour guide, Jonathan, was engaging, knowledgeable and experienced. He picked us up promptly at 11am . We opted to skip the walking portion through Casco Viejo as we had already spent the previous 3 days strolling that area on our own . Instead, we were off in Jonathan's car toward the Canal first winding our way around the city streets listening to a history and geography lesson which was both educational and entertaining . It was obvious that Jonathon knew his stuff As we left the urban area, we found ourselves on a combination of older roads and newer highways , each with a history of their own until we were along side a portion of the Canal itself. Along the way, Jonathan would slow down or stop, providing us with a play by play description of the sites. Eventually, we arrived at the Visitor's center and after a short respite, we enjoyed an absolutely impressive 3D Imax movie , narrated by Morgan Freeman, all about the Panama Canal including it's history and operation as well as the future endeavors underway . Then, we made our way to an area immediately adjacent to the locks, as we observed a giant container ship being carefully guided through the canal. Jonathan then seamlessly navigated us in and out of the crowd to the exit. We drove back to the hotel completely satisfied with a totally one of a kind experience .
all of them very nice nothing to afraid.very reccomended

5.00The trip was awesome and our guide (Roderick) was waiting for us ahead of time (prior military so early is always good). Roderick knew all the answers to the questions that we asked during the ride over to the canal and Casco Viejo. He is also well known throughout the city and was able to go to other areas that I am not sure other tour guides would be able to go to based on his personality and people knowing him. Great trip and would recommend to anything coming him. First class from the beginning to the end.

5.00Charlie was so enthusiastic and helped me see his beautiful country and culture clearly. The family involvement and being outside in their parks, restaurants was nice to see. Visiting churches of great history with an amazing nativity scene and papal visits was special.

5.00Aura was our guide for the tour. She did a great job explaining a lot of local history and pointing out places of interest. Even though it was raining and we couldn't explore Casco Viejo as much as planned she was still able to do a great job driving us around and also having us try Geisha coffee. I enjoyed it, would definitely book with them again. :)
