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.
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.

A WOW Experience

5.00WOW! WOW! This tour exceeded all our expectations. Marlon, our tour guide-driver, picked us up from our hotel right on time, and drove us carefully around Panama City pointing out the history, the culture and everything in between that makes Panama a beautiful country worth visiting many times over. We were able to take loads of nice photos with Marlon being our own paparazzo as we made quick stops here and there. A big thanks to Tomi Tours for making our first day in Panama City a memorable one!
Amazing tour!!!

5.00Where do I start? The tour company was very responsive and professional. They communicated with me throughout the process, prior to and during pick up. Rondel our tour guide arrived early, was very nice, professional and outgoing. She was very knowledgeable and made the tour amazing. Rondel turned into a photographer as she would not allow us to miss us capturing family memories. The car was truly a throwback and the convertible top made for an amazing experience driving around Panama. If you are in Panama r plan to visit be sure to book this tour and ask for my girl Rondel. Great job everyone.
Beyond Amazing!

5.00My family had an incredible time with Tomi Tours and our guide Marlon. Their team had clear communication ahead of the pickup time (from your hotel or Airbnb) and made our first full day in Panama an absolute blast. It was incredible getting to drive in the fun vehicles through Costa Cintera and then learn about Casco Viejo and see some of the local shops. Throughout the experience, Marlon showed us some of his favorite spots for getting Geisha coffee and gelato as well and equipped us with the insights and history of the city/country to kickoff our vacation. Would absolutely recommend Tomi Tours for folks wanting a personalized, small group experience for learning about the beauty of Panamá. Thanks again Marlon for showing my family around and all the great photos!
Awesome tour of Panama City

5.00This tour lives up to its awesome reviews. Firstly the contacted us beforehand so our pick up was well organized. The car was super cool and during the trip you felt so connected to the city! Very knowledgeable guide in Tommy who did everything he possibly could to make it enjoyable - including finding a bar when it started to rain! He was also great at being honest about all the great things - it was so obvious he loves this city - but he didn’t sugar coat the bad things! We did a night tour with Luigi who really went above and beyond not just to make our tour memorable but our entire stay a great one. THESE GUYS ARE JUST THE BEAT. We will be back Tommy and Luigi - see you in 2027!

5.00We had had two cars for the group we had and both were great! My driver was Reuben and he was so cool that it felt like he was one of the guys. His driving was great, very knowledgeable about the city and it’s a good way to see the beautiful city while getting educated along the way.
