Eddie was such an amazing tour guide! Very friendly and down to earth. Private tour! Just me and my boyfriend. Would definitely want to tour with him again. We had a 10 hour layover in Panama and he picked us up and dropped us off back at the airport. He also let us store our luggage in his van. He really knew all the history and was passionate about it. Took us to multiple places including the Panama Canal! Great guy! He was very communicative prior to our arrival as well.
Great experience

Eduardo was available to pick me up at the airport as I arrived very early in the morning. We went to Casco Viejo and walked around the old town, with info on the history. Then went to the Panama Canal and watched a ship come thru the Miraflores Locks and the IMAX Theatre. We drove over the Bridge of the Americas and the Amador Causeway. Next he dropped me at the BioMuseo and I spent over an hour there. Finally we went for lunch at a local restaurant and then he dropped me at my hotel. Eduardo (Eddie) was very friendly, and speaks excellent English. He is a wealth of knowledge and I appreciated all the history I learned in a day trip. Highly recommend!
