Great tour - Richard was amazing. He took us around and took pictures and all the spots he knew would be amazing 👏 And he even took us to lunch...spent more time than he was supposed to! Book with him you won't regret it!

Definitely worth the money! - This tour was worth every penny. Richard was an amazing tour guide and made our time in Panama a great experience. We fit so much into our half day experience. We asked where to get some great authentic Panamanian food and at the end of our tour he took us to a place for lunch in the fish market (so delicious!) I would recommend this tour to anyone wanting to check out the Panama Canal but don’t want it to consume their entire day. We definitely can see why all the ratings for this tour are all excellent , Richard was knowledgeable and pleasant to be around.

10/10, would recommend. - Richard took us on an amazing tour of Panama City! There were 2 of us on the tour and Richard crafted our schedule to fit in everything we wanted to see so that we could get the most out of our experience. We packed a lot into a half day. Richard was the consummate professional, but also very welcoming. It felt like I was walking around town with friends. He is a very knowledgeable guide, so I felt like I learned a lot about the people, culture, history, and overall beauty of Panama. Richard was also a great photographer, so I was able to get lots of pictures to capture my experiences. I would recommend this tour to anyone who visits Panama, especially if you are going for the first time.

The best group to help you discover Panama Canal and other important places . - Tony is an excellent guide . Professional , knowledgeable , friendly, fun & always made sure that we were doing okay and answering all of our questions . We had a delicious lunch and and incredibly time with Tony . I made my reservation and was communicating with Richard but Tony meet me at the pick up spot . Which is fine with me , I was having a hard time with my cellular service so not able to communicate with them easily . At the Panama Canal while watching a cruise ship crossing the canal locks heard someone calling my name , I was shocked/ surprised and looked around, in the crowd I saw a man smiling and he pointed at me and called my name again and said : is me Richard . He made his way towards me and introduced himself and asked if everything was going good with the tour . He recognized me from my profile picture. I was happily surprised and impressed by him and the rest of the team . I had a great time in this tour , Highly recommended Gracias Tony , Gracias Richard .

Great tour, worth the money! - Bryan gave a great tour, including showing us the essentials of Panama City--the Miraflores canal locks and Old Town. He provided a lot of great information, and saved me a lot of taxi fare had I tried to go to all these places by myself. I learned a lot and enjoyed my day!

Awesome experience - It was well organized. Good communication by Richard my guide while pickup. Great time coordination was required as he wanted us to see ships passing the panama canal. So he moved the itinerary to fit this requirement. Very knowledgeable, kind and professional service. Best of Panama city in 6 hrs. Time and money well spent.

A tour to pass time turned into a memorable life experience! - I appreciated the friendliness and knowledge of our tour guide Eustacio. He kept us safe. That was important for 2 female travelers. We were just passing through Panama City and decided to take a tour. It quickly became one of the most memorable trips of my life. The attractions were amazing - historic Panama, the Canal, views. An added bonus, we meet up with other Caribbean folk on the tour. Just beautiful!
