A great day out - Joey, the driver, was very good. He told us lots of facts, and allowed us to tailor our tour to what we were interested in. He walked us around Old Town, he helped us through the queue at the Miraflores visitors centre. He even stopped on the way back to the ship to show us a Sloth in a tree.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Wonderful Private Panama City Tour for Our Family of 21 - ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Wonderful Private Panama City Tour for Our Family of 21
Our family of 21 had a fantastic experience on this private tour of Panama City. Traveling with a large group was easy and stress-free thanks to excellent organization and comfortable transportation. The guide was professional, friendly, and very knowledgeable, and did a great job engaging everyone from kids to grandparents.
We explored many of the city’s highlights, including Casco Viejo, and the Panama Canal at Miraflores Locks, which was fascinating for all ages. We also enjoyed scenic stops at the Cinta Costera, Amador Causeway, along with a visit to Punta Culebra. Each location was well paced, with plenty of time for photos, questions, and short breaks.
What made this tour special was how personalized and flexible it felt—never rushed and always attentive to our group’s needs. It was one of the highlights of our trip, and we highly recommend this private tour to families or large groups looking to experience the best of Panama City in a smooth and memorable way 🇵🇦✨

5 Star Tour with a lot to unpack! - This was a 5 STAR tour and service. Dwayne checked on us the night before to ensure we were all on the same page. Dwayne provided a rich and historic history about Panama (very educational - this was our first visit). He was patient and easy going as well as spoke English vary well. We have limited Spanish skills, but will work on that this coming year. Dwayne provided great tips on where to eat and other places to visit. I wish this was the first tour we took because we learned so much about locale spots to include dining, night life, historic land marks, and more. Only unfortunate thing was my 4yr old son was feeling under the weather this day, so that kind of made logistics a little difficult. However, Dwayne helped with the stroller and understood the situation. I would recommend anyone coming to Panama to book this tour within the first two days, you will learn a lot and be able to plan out the rest of your stay! I would give more stars if i could! Well worth the time and money! Very grateful!

Excellent Tour with Gabriel Morales - I had an amazing experience with Gabriel Morales. He was an incredibly knowledgeable and attentive guide, and he made our time exploring Panama truly memorable. The Panama Canal tour was especially impressive. Gabriel explained the history and engineering in a way that was easy to understand and fascinating to see in person. The city tours were just as enjoyable, giving us a great mix of culture, history, and local insight. He also shared excellent recommendations for restaurants and the best spots for photos, and he even took beautiful photos and videos for us along the way. Overall, it was a fantastic experience that I highly recommend.
