What To Expect

Our journey starts in Obarrio, a neighborhood defined by its modern glass towers and commercial energy. It offers a stunning contrast to the historic areas we will visit later, providing a clear picture of Panama City's rapid growth and financial importance.

Admission Not Applicable

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.

We took the Tomi two-hour tour of Panama City with Marlon, and it was outstanding from start to finish. Marlon was extremely knowledgeable about the history and culture of the city, and he shared everything in a fun, engaging way that kept us smiling and laughing. He was friendly, professional, and very accommodating, which made the whole experience feel comfortable and enjoyable. This tour was definitely a 10/10. If you’re visiting Panama City, ask for Marlon!

Our daughter Debby wrote wise words. We completely agree, because we were in the same jeep. Another plus is that they took us to a shop where we could buy a real Panama hat. A nice bonus.
Wonderful experience!!

This is a must do in Panama. We had fun, great weather, attentive guide. The price may seem a bit high, $250 for 2 hours for 4 (2 kids) but it saved us lots of time exploring on foot. It’s such a cool old car, you will feel like you are a part of the street but moving along… we liked it.
The best Panama tour.

What a great way to see the city. Ronel was an excellent guide. We were picked up right at the port and were shown so many interesting sites. A lot of people waved and honked at us because of the classic VW Things we were riding in. Highly recommend this tour!
A Must-Do Tour in Panama!

If you’re visiting Panama, you absolutely HAVE to book a tour with Tomi Tours! It was hands-down one of the best decisions we made on our trip. If you want to truly see the island and learn about its history, this is the way to do it. I highly recommend doing this tour as soon as you arrive—it gives you such a great overview and really helps you plan the best places to visit during the rest of your stay. And let me just say… the car was beautiful! We got tons of attention driving into town—everyone was looking and smiling. It made the whole experience feel extra special. Our tour guide, Marlon, was incredible—knowledgeable, friendly, and so much fun to spend the day with. He shared so many stories and insights we never would’ve learned on our own. We had an amazing time and came away feeling like we understood the island so much better. Don’t miss this tour—Tomi Tours is a must!
Great way to see the city!

We only had 24 hours in Panama City, so this was a great way to see the city. Ronel was super friendly, took us all around the city & islands. She also got some great pics of our family to remember our trip.
