Top Panama City Private Sightseeing Tours - page 9

We had a one night layover in Panama City complicated by a late afternoon arrival. What we wanted to see, if possible, was the Panama Canal and maybe get a feel for the city. Our guide, Graziano, turned our short time into a wonderful introduction to the sights, sounds, and history of Panama.

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.

During my recent visit to Panama we took this tour and it was the highlight of our trip. For starters, any tour that offers door to door service is a sure thing for me. The car picked us up and dropped us off at our hotel on time. Our driver Marlon was literally the best. He was so knowledgeable, cool, laid back, but super fun. He taught us so much history and recommended some spots to visit while there. Also took us to have some of the best ice cream I’ve ever had. If visiting Panama, this tour is a must! Requesting Marlon as your guide is also a must, especially if you want ride around feeling VIP. I’ll be returning with my daughter & booking again.

I had an incredible time doing a bike tour in Panama City—definitely one of the highlights of my trip. The route was perfect—riding along the Cinta Costera with views of the ocean and skyline was unreal, and going through Casco Viejo gave a great mix of history and culture. The pace was comfortable, so you can enjoy the scenery without feeling rushed. The guide was knowledgeable, friendly, and made the whole experience feel personal. I learned a lot about the city while still having fun and staying active. The bikes were in great condition, and everything felt safe and well-organized. Whether you’re into fitness, sightseeing, or just want a unique way to explore the city, this is 100% worth it. If you’re visiting Panama City, I highly recommend adding a bike tour to your itinerary—you’ll see way more than you would on foot.

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.

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.

Charlie was our guide, he was very friendly and extremely knowledgeable about his country and its wildlife. We saw all kinds of monkeys up close during our trip on the lake, crocodiles, even a sloth up close! We then went to the sloth sanctuary, butterfly & frog houses. All in all a great tour and Charlie looked after us very well!

The tour company communicated well and picked us up at our Airbnb. There were three of us ages 59 and 15. Our a driver was very knowledgeable and on the way out to the zip line told us more about Panama & the area around the zip line. We stopped at a gorgeous hotel and picked up snacks, water & use the restroom before we got to the zip line. When we arrived, we signed in and they helped us get settled into our gear. There are free lockers to store your gear in that you don’t wish to carry with you. I did take my cell phone, which is on a strap that hangs around my neck to take additional videos and pictures. They take pictures too. Then the guides gave us instructions on zip lining. We are not new to zip lining but if you are, this is a great group to go with. There are 13 lines. They use the automatic braking system so as you descent the line it helps slow you down as the Guide at the bottom helps catch and stop you. All their gear appears to be well kept and maintained. There were about 15 people in our group so it didn’t take long for us to enjoy zip line. They drove us to the top of the mountain where we had a short walk to the first line before we descended down back to base camp. 2 hours total of zip lining. There are many spectacular views of the Panama Canal, the Chargers river, and the rainforest. Once we descended back down to base camp we were given water and helped out of our gear. Then we viewed all the pictures that they had taken along the way of us. You cannot purchase your pictures separately, you purchase all of them on a card like USB for only $15. We highly recommend this tour. We really Enjoyed it. Please wear closed toed hiking shoes or sneakers. For women I suggest wearing pants or capris and men wear pants or long shorts to the knees. Don’t forget to bring your bug spray too. HAVE FUN!!
