Great Tour! - Jose did a fantastic job as our tour guide. He was professional, knowledgeable, and had excellent English speaking skills near native. He picked us up from the airport during our layover and dropped us off in plenty of time for the connecting flight.

Outstanding Panama Canal and City Tour in record time - This was a phenomenal tour by Jose Espinosa who picked me up from airport (after minor initial confusion about Terminal 1 or 2), showed me the Panama Canal, the Miraflores visitor center ( I had purchased tickets in advance), saw the incredible passing of a giant container ship and then a car carrier, a rare maneuver of lines being thrown to ship, the beautiful IMAX movie about the canal/history, drove to a causeway with Sun setting, gorgeous city skyline of skyscrapers, by the original old settlement, to Old City by old churches and cathedral before dropoff, always with unique commentary. Jose is himself a marine navigator, was lucky to have him as guide, you'd be lucky to get him!

Tour operator canceled LAST MIN after we had already paid online - We booked our private tour for Panama City, Panama for Feb 11th 2026 and they cancelled by email at 11:45pm on Feb 10th. We had already paid online $200 + by credit card and had received our confirmation. We are on a cruise and will only be there for one day… and now do not have a tour to go see the sights. Very disappointing for our first and maybe only time to visit this city. I would not trust an important day/event with this group/company. They can cancel with no explanation at the last min with no consequence. If we were to cancel, we would lose our entire payment for the private tour. ( bc after the cancellation period). Why are they allowed to cancel with ZERO consequence? They should pay us for making us lose out on a special day’s event…. Or find a replacement.
