5.00The tour was well organized, you can see everything important in Panama. On Sunday you have to walk in the city center, no cars allowed. The driver is a very intelligent guy.

5.00This was an enjoyable, free flowing visit to the Canal and to old Panama City. I was completely out of it after a red eye from Chile, but Ricardo was very engaging and knowledgeable and I had a good time.

5.00If you’re visiting Panama City, this tour is an absolute must! Dan, our guide, was fantastic — not only knowledgeable and engaging, but also a true photographer at heart. He took the most stunning, Instagram-worthy photos at every stop, capturing the beauty of the city in ways we could never have done on our own. The tour itself was well-paced, giving us a perfect mix of history, culture, and amazing views. Highly recommend this experience to anyone looking to explore Panama City in style and leave with incredible photos to share! Five stars all the way!
