What To Expect
Drive through Obarrio, one of Panama City’s most vibrant business and shopping districts, known for its sleek skyscrapers, luxury hotels, and lively street life. From your open-air dune buggy, you’ll see a different side of the city — modern, energetic, and full of contrast with the old colonial quarter
See Panama’s modern side with stunning views of some of the country’s tallest skyscrapers. Among them stands the landmark tower now branded as JW Marriott Panama (formerly the Trump Ocean/International Tower) — at 284 m it’s the tallest building in Central America. Wikipedia +2 Savoury Planet +2 At its striking sail-shaped top is the rooftop bar “Panaviera Sky Bar” located on the 66th floor, with a glass-railed infinity pool and panoramic views that stretch from the skyline to the ocean. The Rooftop Guide +1 On your open-top ride through Paitilla, you’ll take in the architectural scale, the glinting towers, and the stunning juxtaposition of urban skyline meeting coast — a perfect photo-stop moment.

5.00I had the little private tour with LUIGI, which was a mega experience!!:-) Luigi was an extremely adorable guide who gave me a lot of great information as we sped through the city centre. It was time to take pictures and just-look-at-it, Luigi was very patient. I would do another tour with him anytime. Which would also be important: I had missed my original tour at the beginning of my trip because my flight had been cancelled. Tomi Tours made it possible to catch up on the tour later at no extra cost, no one else was so cult!!!! A mega-plus and next time I should be in Panama City, I will book with Tomi Tours again. Thanks again to Luigi.... was an eerily beautiful conclusion to my trip!! Many thanks - milliòn de gracias!!!

5.00Rubin was a great tour guide. He was very knowledgeable of the current and past history of Panama. He knew exactly where to take the best pictures of me and my wife. I would suggest Rubin to everyone. He was a 10 out of 10. The length of the tour was worth the money. I only wish they could've included the canal. Overall had a great experience.
Amazing

5.00This vintage car tour was amazingggg!! 🙏🏾🤩 We did the newly offered sunrise tour with Ruben and *chefs kiss*. Between the views of the sunrise itself behind the skyline and the water, it’s a must do! The weather was amazing as well, the PERFECT time to go if you don’t mind waking up earlier for the experience! & honestly the best part was our tour guide Ruben! He was the literal sweetest, so personable and funny and made us feel very comfortable! 🥰 Booking the experience was also super easy and Thomas was very accommodating! If you’re ever in Panama, MAKE SURE TO ADD THIS TO YOUR ITINERARY!! 🇵🇦❤️
