I had a few hours to check out the Panama Canal and a bit of the city and my tour guide Juan Carlos was the best to help me see it all in a short time! He was very informative and helpful throughout. Would highly recommend him. Our driver, Enrique, was also excellent, navigating the sometimes heavy traffic with ease.

Tour guide Carlos was very knowledgeable, professional and helpful during his tour, providing detailed information at each stop and during our drive. He answered all our questions. Safety was top tier. Book this trip you will not regret it.

Carlos, our guide, did a great job getting us around and explaining things. Remember to dress for the hot and humid weather in Panama.

I love going on these tours because it lets you see a little bit about everything. They gave us lots of information about the area. Loved it!

The tour was very informative , professional and well planned. I could not imagine having to navigate traffic and Canal logistics on my own. Jorge was our guide. He was friendly and very helpful. Due to crowds at the canal he flipped the order of watching the movie and viewing the ships so that we wouldn’t have to stand in long lines excessively. That saved us a bunch of time. It was a rainy day. Some of the parts of the tour were difficult, but we knew that when we booked. Jorge and operator gave us umbrellas and ponchos which was helpful. The Canal was amazing. The walking tour in Casco Viejo was also cool and informative. Again, big thank you to the operator and our guide Jorge. Worth the $$

Jorge Padilla was a phenomenal tour guide and very attentive to the needs of each participant. He provided a wealth of information and ensured we had a wonderful experience. My only issue was they gave you 2 options w/ canal or w/o - we chose the 2nd option only to learn the majority of the tour was at the canal. We purchased the additional option in real time. They should only advertise it w/ canal instead of a bait and switch.

This meeting point is ideal for those staying in Casco Antiguo. It’s centrally located on the route to our first stop and helps you avoid the traffic delays often found in the Old Town.
