    Albert was amazing! He was very personable, knowledgeable and super friendly! He adjusted his plan with small requests from my wife and I, and we really appreciated it. I would do tours woth Albert over and over! Thank you, my friend! P.s. Albert was his middle name, we could not pronounce his first name accurately 🫣

    Our guide Graziano was so wonderful and knowledgeable. Very friendly and had such a great vibe. He speaks very good English (he knows four languages) so everything was easy to understand. He loves his country of Panama and shared so much about the history, his experiences growing up, and realities of practical living every day in Panama. We felt very safe and he’s a good driver in crazy traffic. Would recommend this private tour to EVERYONE!!! Loved it

    I had a 12 hour layover in Panama airport. I booked this Panama Canal tour to fit in some exploration. I’m so glad I did. My guide is a born raised local. His in depth knowledge allowed me to know history of the canal and then he drive me to the coast, city, financial district, market, and old town. People know him and greeted him along the way. In a previous life, he gave jungle tours. He pointed out cappy berras, sloth and more. Taking a solo tour was outside my comfort zone. I had a carry on luggage a backpack and jacket. They all fit into the car. The tour company contacted me a day in advance via what’s app. (I was in Ecuador, there was no problem receiving the message). The tour guide and tour companies written and verbal English was great. They outlined where I should go to meet my guide and stated in touch with me until we met up. I highly recommend this tour! My guide put me at ease, was kind and knowledgeable.

  • Excellent experience! Excellent guide!

    Our Guide was so knowledgeable about the country and the history of the canal. I recommend going to the movie prior to see the canal in person.

    I had a limited time in Panama and wanted to try and see the sights as quickly as possible. I found this tour on Viator and it checked a lot of boxes for me. Ivan did a great job explaining the different sites and the history of Panama City. We went from Casco Viejo to Amador Causeway where we stopped to see some sloths, looked at the view and took pics at the Panama. Then we went to see the Bridge of Americas. Sadly the Chinese platform that gives good views was demolished and closed for visitors. We then went to downtown Panama City to see all the buildings. Stopped at Marriott and the Spire buildings to take pics. We then worked our way to Panama Canal. Unfortunately, no boats were planned at all during my tour time so instead of paying to see the film and no boats, he took me to a different lock that was free to see at the top and start of Gaten Lake. From here, we cross the Centennial Bridge where we saw a large vessel heading down the canal. Lastly, we went back to Casco Viejo for a walk through the old town where he did a great job alternating indoor and outdoor sights due to the heat. Only recommendation I would have for someone is to do the early trip so you can see boats in the canal. Otherwise it was a great tour. Ivan was very friendly and knowledgeable.

  • One day - one perfect tour

    Perfect tour for our one day stopover in Panama City. Graziano met us at the airport and took us to see highlights of the city with an interesting stroll through the walled city. He was friendly and helpful and allowed us to set the pace. He never rushed us along - we’re seniors - but helped us get to the Canal at peak viewing time. He took us directly to our hotel when we were done. I don’t think we could have had a more knowledgeable and accommodating guide. Five stars isn’t enough!!!
