Panama Canal and City Tour Experience

Gary_G, Sep 2026

Panamá Canal & More!

I had a wonderful time. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable, even getting around the traffic downtown, LOL! Plenty of opportunities for photos, to grab a quick bite to eat if needed, and to see some hidden historical landmarks that you wouldn't see otherwise unless you are already in the old city. I particularly enjoyed the IMAX portion of the Milflores lock and got to see a large ship pass through it. Give yourself about 5 hours for the entire tour and wear comfy shoes, as there is quite a bit of walking in the old city, but it's worth it.

Amazing Private Tour Guide

Dwayne was absolutely AMAZING! He was so hospitable, knowledgeable, and introduced us to everything there is to know about Panama. From viewing the most popular tourist sites to trying local cuisine and learning about nightlife, Dwayne showed us all around the city and showed us the most amazing views with an observatory deck and the Panama Canal on our first day here. I highly recommend booking Dwayne for your city tour of Panama if you want to learn all about this beautiful city. Thank you Dwayne!!!

We had an amazing time...

We had an amazing time with our tour guide Alcibiades! He was an incredibly thoughtful and knowledgeable guide with a plethora of information about Panama, the canal, and the tour itself. He made me and my dad feel like family and made sure we had a great time. The boat ride around Gatun lake was our favorite part, especially getting to see the local wildlife. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience.

We had so much fun!!!

Be ready to have fun. The 42 floor of the Poin Bldg was going off! Literally, with zip lines and huge swings of the city life below, and music jamming everywhere. Then a tour through the city center and some shopping. The evening ended with dancing and local food at a cool restaurant.

Jay_L, Jul 2026

Wonderful tour option

Found this last min and so happy we did. Luigi was our guide. He was super communicative and showed up on time. Could not have asked for a better guide. Informative excellent understandable English. And one of the most important things never felt rushed or that we were on a set itinerary. A bit of flexibility, but the biggest thing just never felt like come on let’s go which made things, relaxing and enjoyable. He is a star. So informative. I would happily book this again.

Ancon Hill Walking Tour: Sloths, Wildlife & Panama City Views

Na_D, Jul 2026

Surreal experience! Highly recommended!

It was a fantastic experience! Raf was my guide and he was very thorough with the information for the day the night before with whatsapp messages so I had a good feeling already. I did the early one 6:10am and surprised it was a private tour to me as no one else booked it. But Raf still treat it very very professionally even it’s just me, he was very knowledgeable and super friendly. I told him I want to see sloth and he was very honest that it’s nature he cannot control but he will try his best. And surely he did and we were very lucky to spot 5 sloths along the way along with 4 gefferoy’s tamarins, several toucans, and along other wild lives . It was more than I expected and because Raf was very patient in explaining how these animals behave and I was able to spot the toucan and 2 sloths by myself! Overall just 12 out of 10 experiences and I cannot ask for more. The hill is very a moderate walk and offers a great panoramic view of the city and the canal. Highly recommended!

Stefan was a phenomenal guide! His insight, perspective, and knowledge was refreshing and memory making! We booked this tour last minute and it was amazing in large part because of Stefan.

We had a great experience...

We had a great experience with our tour guide Jennifer. When we walked out of the airport, Jennifer was there already waiting for she. The minivan was comfortable for the six of us and all our luggage. Jennifer was super knowledgeable and easy to talk to. She’s very flexible to accommodate our needs. We had a great time and would highly recommend this tour and Jennifer as the guide.

City Tour guiado en Panamá con Canal y Casco Antiguo

Megan_L, Jan 2026

Juan is amazing!

Juan made our experience unforgettable. We learned so much and saw the not so traveled path of Panama City as well (such as the administration building). We had a private tour so we were able to spend the time how we wanted. We skipped the movie at the canal to spend more time in Old Town.

Such an incredible tour experience!! Luis Pinto is an amazing guide, this was the highlight of our trip!

We had an absolutely amazing tour with Luis Pinto. It was a private tour for the two of us, and our tour guide drove us in his clean car all around the city. Our tour guide (Luis) even arrived extra early to make sure he was waiting for us in the lobby. He had perfect English (despite never visiting an English speaking country). We started our tour at the canal, and we arrived in perfect timing to see a ship passing through the canal. Luis knew all the workers at the canal visitor center since he has done this for many years. He was also extremely flexible— we told him we already visited Casco Viejo so instead he took us to a former American army base that other tours don’t cover, and even made a stop at the Panama sign for pictures too. I highly recommend the tour with Luis. My only recommendation is that officially the tour was called for 10am, but we left a bit earlier since Luis arrived earlier in case, and we just just arrived in time to see the last boat, so make sure to coordinate with the tour guide to make sure you don’t miss seeing the boat as that was really a highlight of our trip.
