Great way to start our trip! - My family and I decided to kick off our trip to Panama with this tour. Not only did we want to see the Panama Canal, we thought the city tour portion will give us our bearings for future exploring. We booked through Viator. Our tourguide Eric picked us up at our Airbnb in Casco Viejo and brought us to the Canal in an air conditioned van. On the way, Eric gave an overview of the history of the canal. He also sold us tickets to the IMAX movie so that we were able to skip the initial line to get in. The Panama Canal is truly a marval. Witnessing massive ships navigate through the locks, with just a foot of space to spare on each side was spectacular. The experience offered an appreciateion for the canal's role in global trade and it's impact on the regions development - Eric mentioned that the canal itself has over 10,000 employees! After viewing the massive ship navigate throught the locks we went to the IMAX theater to see "A Land Divided, a World United". People often ask if this movie is worth the extra 20$ to see and the answer for me is absolutely! The movie is really well done, narated by Morgan Freeman. Totally go. Before we went to on our walking tour, Eric drove us through the cruise ship port - lots of shops and restaurants. He made a stop at the iconic colorful PANAMA sign and we were lucky enough to see a slot in the wild near the entrance to the Smithsonian reserve. Once the driving tour was complete, we set off on a walking tour through Panama's historic Old Town. We were taken through the cobblestone strees, colonial-era architeture and vibrant busy plazas. We went in an out of old churches. My favorite was the San Jose Church with the golden altar. He took us through “Paseo La Bovedas” - which is really pretty. On one side of this paseo is loads of booths selling crafts, hats, jewlery etc. On the other side is a great view of new Panama with beautiful pink flowers. Every moment of this tour was filled with wonder and discovery. Whether you're a history buff, nature enthusiast, or simply seeking adventure, this excursion offers something for everyone. It's a must-do experience for anyone visiting Panama City.

A fabulous tour with an amazing guide in Panama City. - We had an amazing day in Panama City with our knowledgeable docent, Erick, from the PANAMA YOUR WAY team. The company's website is excellent, with clear, informative, and easy-to-navigate pages. We saved valuable time by ordering our tickets in advance for the Panama Canal Visitor Center on their website. Our group of six friends arrived in Panama City on the Norwegian Bliss. A few days before our arrival, the company reached out to me by email and provided me with our guide's name and telephone number. As Amador Cruise Terminal is currently under construction, we were given detailed instructions on where to meet our guide. Erick was one of the best docents we had during our 15-day cruise. He was energetic and interesting, and we thoroughly enjoyed our day together. Our tour began with a visit to the exciting Panama Canal Visitor Center. We then climbed the beautiful Ancon Hill, which offered breathtaking city views, and visited a small museum that described the life and history of the Black Panamanian People. The Old Town was stunning, with its beautiful restoration. Erick then took us to a unique restaurant that served exceptional Panamanian food. Before returning to our ship, we saw the modern new city with its impressive skyscrapers. Our day together passed like a breeze, and we enjoyed every single moment of it. Thank you, Erick, for creating such fantastic memories. I highly recommend PANAMA YOUR WAY for cruise-ship travelers - it's the best choice for those with limited time on shore.

Great Experience! - A very good tour, Erick was very helpful, answered all the questions, friendly, and with great knowledge about all parts of the tour.

Excellent Tour! - I congratulate our guide who always shared information with us and did not leave us adrift. He was always looking out for us and is very kind and courteous.

Great guided Tour - Our guide, Erik was knowledgeable, pleasant and very efficient. The whole process was smooth and effortless. We were picked up at the airport as planned, dropped off at our hotel for the night, and picked up at 7:30 the following morning as planned (actually Erik was waiting for us, when we walked out at 7:20). He was informative, and made sure that we stayed on schedule, as we had a tight window. He then drove us from Panama City to Colon to catch our cruise. Everything, including our agreed upon cost, was as expected. Erik was a gentleman, and the tour was memorable.

Panama City tour with Erick rated "A+* - Erick did a terrific job looking after the four of us, one of whom has walking difficulties and uses an electric scooter. He was with us for the Panama canal visitor center each step of the way, understood our needs and tailored the excursion accordingly. We strongly recommend this Viator excursion to anyone that reads this review!

Excellent - Highly recommend. Eric really was the highlight of my trip. Turned out to be a private tour! He even went out of his way to find me a sloth :) I felt very safe with him. He is super knowledgeable.

The guide was... - The guide was knowledgeable and the whole tour experience was good. The Canal tour and the Old town tour was amazing.

I Max movie was... - I Max movie was excellent. What we agree to pay for trip on phone was included pick up and drop off from hotel and at the end guide was asking more money for ride from at to hotel was not good experience. We were 17 friends. He asked $170.00 extra. Not good.

Cancelled me - Tour operator cancelled the tour. He said I was the only one who signed up. He say i wouldn’t be charged. It was too late to find and book another tour with someone else.
