The Best Panamá City and Canal tour - Enjoyed a highly personalized tour today with guide, Katiuska. While on tour I was able to visit many parts of Panamá City, Cinta Costera, Avenida Balboa, Armador Causeway, the Miraflores visitors center. The IMAX movie about the Panamá Canal was excellent. Then visiting Casco Viejo.
Katiuska provided a wealth of knowledge about Panamá, the history, local cuisine, culture, indigenous people, wildlife (birds, fish, reptiles, mammals).
I was so glad I took this tour during my short 1 day stop over in Panamá. I will definitely be back and highly recommend this tour to anyone planning a visit to Panamá.

Panama - It will be hard if not impossible to say how meaningful this excursion was. Incredible. Thank you so much Jose for all your efforts! I will not soon forget this night. So much fun. So meaningful. So educational. One of the highlights of my trip. I'm not sure all of you will get the same experience as me but I can tell you its worth the try.

Excellent all around - Such an amazing experience. We were in a private group so we were able to be more flexible with times and sites. Katie was our tour guide and was EXCELLENT. She prepped before the tour so we could time the canal at the right time and was over all amazing. Highly recommend

Wonderful Tour of Canal Locks and Old Town - Katy was punctual picking me up at my hotel and in fact I was the very first in line for tickets at the Panama Canal’s Meliflores locks. The pacing of our time at the canal was excellent; Katy knew when we should head to the visitors center theater for the IMAX film, when was best for bathroom breaks, etc. During our old town walking tour Katy showed us streets and places that I hadn’t found on my own, including the gorgeous French embassy and the street leading up to it with hats strung overhead. We saw places I later went back to on my own, including I Love Panama Chocolate (high-quality, unique flavors). We ended the tour with delicious, refreshing fresh fruit slushies in Independence Square (pineapple-passion fruit was amazing). Katy was informative and also warm and engaging throughout the tour.

The experience was... - The experience was amazing from beginning to end. Out tour guide, Javier was personable, knowledgeable, and accommodating. He took us to the Panama Canal where we learned about the history and watched an IMAX movie about it as well. There were restrooms in the facility to utilize during the tour, as well as a gift shop and more on the history of the Canal. We toured old Panama and we were able to take lots of pictures along the way. We visited the Catholic Church, hat street, and took pictures by the locks. He took us to a vendor who sold shaved ice with fresh fruit and it was amazing, as it was hot this day! There was so much packed into the tour, but it was perfect!!! I definitely learned more about Panama during the tour and would highly suggest anyone visiting to take the tour, as well!

Great way to see the Canal - The morning logistics of pickups and getting to the Canal were great. Much appreciated. The Casco Viejo part was mostly skipped. It was raining a little bit, so we didn't get out of the vehicle. This tour was great for the Canal and getting out to the Causeway. But it was lacking for the Casco Viejo part.
