Great Experience in Panama - Excellent service from Panama Canal Tours. We did the full transit tour of the Panama Canal, which was wonderful. They took us to Isla Coiba, Boquete and Bocas del Toro. Thank you Panama Canal Tours. We will be back.

Layover in Panama - The guide was very kind. He arrived on time and his car was clean and comfortable. He knew a lot of good stories about each place we visited.

Worth every penny - Had a layover in Panama City for 10 hours which I love because it gives me a chance to do a quick check on a city to see if I need to come back. TA sent me Ali Douglas of Ivan Tours. He did an amazing job. I got the highlights of the city and a good bit of history from Ali. Will definitely be back. Panama City and are has it all

Best Tour Guide in allll of Panama! - Looking for an amazing, educational tour? Look no further than Luis Vega! I can not speak enough great things of our experience with Luis. He knows all the good times to go to the canal. He knows the history and facts about the city. He drives a nice van so plenty of room for a family. His English is perfect! He also made some stops around town at different lookout points for pics. He’s very affordable too. I found him through this site and another person’s review. I hope you find him through mine. He responds very quickly if you email him. When we come back to Panama we will definitely be calling him again! Good luck and have fun!

City Tour in Panama - We spoke to Jaine by email 1 month before our trip. We were on our way to Canada and we would stay 8 hours in Panama. We chose Jaine for the good indications I found on the internet, and really everyone was full of reason. Jaine is kind, friendly, careful. We picked up at the airport early and was telling us everything about Panama, from the historic part, food, tourism, and etc. The place was simple and tasty. We love his company. The car is a mini van, very comfortable and spacious. We were in 2, but it would easily fit 7 people in that mini van, with a spacious place to store your luggage. It would indicate closed eyes. We recommend making the tour with Jaine 100%.

Quick way to see Panama within 5 hours - Luis waited for me at the Airport, and right on time. I was a little late but he was there! Took me to the city center and was very accommodating with all my questions as he was so knowledgeable. Loved the tour! Thanks Luis. Also, the restaurant was fantastic. loved it.

It's organized by a sloth! - The amazing trip, but I had never been on a tour that left 4 hours late. Very bad communication, but in the end the trip made up for the disaster

Waste of money - I would rate this a 0 even -100 if I could. Booked this trip to visit the most of my 8 hour layover in Panama City. Got the confirmation # and tickets through the app . However I didn’t not receive any information on where and what time to meet the tour company. Contacted the tour company through TripAdvisor and also through what’s app called and messaged multiple times and got no response. Waste of time and money. I highly recommend you don’t use this tour company
