What are people saying about Panama City

Christelle_G, Sep 2026

Panama City tour

We had such a beautiful experience on our private classic car tour! Everything was perfect, from the gorgeous weather to the smooth and timely pickup. Angelica arrived right on time and was absolutely fantastic from beginning to end. She took us around Casco Viejo and showed us all of the major sights while sharing so much interesting information about the area. She was extremely knowledgeable, friendly, patient, and made the entire experience so enjoyable. We never felt rushed and were able to truly enjoy the scenery, the classic car, and the charm of Casco Viejo. Angelica was AMAZING, and I would 100% recommend this tour to anyone visiting Panama! It was definitely one of the highlights of our trip.

Panama Canal and City Tour Experience

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.

Excellent airport layover tour

Can’t say enough great things about this tour. Jennifer was our tour guide and she made the entire experience so much fun. She was very personable, funny and had so much knowledge of her country! Pickup at airport was a breeze. Easy to communicate through WhatsApp. She knew exactly how to accommodate seeing everything according to our timeline. Wish we had more time, but for an airport stopover, it was perfect!

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.

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.

A fun day in beautiful Panama City!

We started the day with Eddie, our guide, who picked us (and our luggage) up at the hotel. We toured Old Town and visited a museum with indigenous stitched artwork called Mola. So beautiful! Then we toured the Miraflores locks where we saw the Imax movie about the construction of the canal. After that, we embarked on our ship and settled in for our cruise. It was a fabulous day! We especially appreciated the flexibility of this tour, and we were able to do all of the activities that we wanted.

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.
