What To Expect
Marvel at one of Latin America's most unique skyscrapers! Affectionately nicknamed "El Tornillo" (The Screw) by locals, the F&F Tower is a 52-story architectural icon in the Financial District. Its striking helical (twisting) design makes it a must-see for a photo stop, showcasing Panama City's ultra-modern side against the classic charm of your tour vehicle. This building dramatically highlights the city's ambition and role as a modern financial hub.
Our journey starts in Obarrio, a neighborhood defined by its modern glass towers and commercial energy. Sit back and relax as your private chauffeur handles the city streets, giving you a 'celebrity' view from our open-air Safari while you skip the stress of navigating Panama's traffic. This area offers a stunning contrast to the historic districts we will visit later, providing a clear picture of the city's rapid growth as a global financial hub.

5.00We had a fantastic experience with Luigi from Tomi Tours during our visit to Panama City 🇵🇦! Luigi was friendly, patient, knowledgeable, and very accommodating. As he drove us through different parts of the city, he shared great insights about Panama’s history and culture, making the tour both fun and informative. We never felt rushed and truly appreciated his positive energy. He also went above and beyond by recommending additional tours and activities outside of Tomi Tours so we could fully enjoy the rest of our time in Panama. The car was stylish, unique and perfect for photos! Luigi was definitely a highlight of our first visit to Panama. We highly recommend Tomi Tours and especially Luigi as your guide! 🇵🇦
It was a wonderful one of a kind experience

5.00Traveled to Panama City with my parents and came across Tomi Tours on TikTok when planning things to do. I knew I wanted to see old town, and I’m glad we chose this company to tour with. Our guide, Marlon, was very informative and engaging throughout the entire ride. He checked on how everyone felt multiple times during the experience due to the sun and heat, which was thoughtful. He was a joy to learn from, and the drive was plentiful with great views and stops for pictures or breaks. Would recommend to anyone visiting the city for the first time.
Leaving my forties behind in Panama
