Amazing Layover Tour in Panama City with Miguel!

5.00We had an incredible layover tour in Panama City thanks to Miguel. From the moment he picked us up, he was kind, charming, and incredibly attentive. He took us through the city, shared fascinating history facts, and made sure we experienced the best highlights in the short time we had. We were hungry so we asked Miguel to take us somewhere we could try local food, he brought us to a local lunch spot, guided us through the Panama Canal, and still got us back to the airport with plenty of time to spare. His knowledge and professionalism made the whole experience feel smooth and enjoyable. If you’re looking for an stress-free and memorable way to spend your layover in Panama City, ask for Miguel, he truly made our day unforgettable!
Nice Way to Spend a Layover in Panama

5.00I had a very early arrival flight in Panama, with a long layover and I was concerned about not being able to make the most of my time. Miguel fortunately offered tours which began early in the morning, picking me up from the airport at 6:00 AM. He was very kind, knowledgeable, and professional, I learned a lot about Panama in my short time there. The Miraflores visitor center opens at 8:00 am and by that time most of the ships have passed through the canal (until 1:00 pm) , so try to get there early and book your tickets in advance. I was fortunate enough to be advised by Miguel on how to buy tickets in advance so I could skip the lines and see the boat passing through the canal. Overall, I enjoyed this experience.
Best day in Panama

5.00What a great day! Miguel picked us up right on time at our hotel. As we traveled throughout the city he talked about the history, politics and facts and figures of his country. He was very knowledgeable and spoke perfect English. We enjoyed many points of interest including the canal. It was an excellent way to spend the day and Miguel was a super nice guy.
