All Panama City Tours & Excursions in 2026

Excellent, informative tour of the Panama Canal and other interesting sites in Panama City. Gabriel did an excellent job working around some last minute changes in the Canal Visitor Center’s schedule due to the recent earthquake. We had a couple of folks from China who spoke no Spanish and only a bit of English, but Gabe was super patient working through translations. I really knew very little about the operations and pride Panamanian’s have for this complex and critical logistics link. Also loved the beautiful views of the city from the marina. One final stop on the tour was the high end hat shop near the Plaza Mayor…I came back later to make a purchase. All in all a great tour, gracias Gabriel!

We had a wonderful tour of Casco Viejo with Alex. Even the day before the tour, Alex personally reached out to welcome us to Panama and confirm the pick-up time, which was a really nice touch. It already made the experience feel more personal than just an online booking. He picked us up at our hotel right on time, and as it turned out, we were the only ones booked that day, so we basically had a private tour — which was fantastic! Alex showed us around Casco Viejo and gave us lots of interesting information about the history, the beautiful buildings and the old walls that tell so much about the history of the area and its past. We visited a beautiful church, where he also gave us a great explanation, and even went into a museum that was already on our list. We were very happy to have Alex show us around there as well. We loved walking through the beautiful, incredibly clean streets and taking in all the different architectural styles. We also had plenty of time to sit down, enjoy the atmosphere, people-watch and ask Alex questions. What we especially appreciated was the personal touch. During the tour, Alex shared a little bit about his family and even showed us a photo of his daughter. It was a small thing, but it made the experience feel very personal and genuine. He also took us all the way down to the waterfront and to a lovely little street with handmade souvenirs. At the end, while he went to get the car, we offered him a drink as a small thank-you. Then, of course, it started raining! Alex came back with an umbrella and made sure we got into the car one by one without getting soaked. Such a thoughtful touch! Alex is friendly, knowledgeable and speaks very good English, which made the historical explanations so much easier to follow. We had a really lovely experience from beginning to end and would definitely recommend Alex!

Our tour guides Ciara was fun and full of energy. She called us her family for the day. Gave us a lot of history about Panama. She answered every history question that was asked. She even told us how to pronounce our driver, Orlando name. Roll the R Orrrlando.

This was by far one of the best excursions I have ever had the pleasure to experience! There staff were fabulous! Genesis, our hostess was wonderful. She was knowledgeable and included a little history about The Panama Canal and the island. We were blessed with glorious weather, even though it was the rainy season. The Red lady drink was delicious. Lunch was also very delicious. We ate on the boat which was a lovely experience. This all inclusive experience was dogs so well! Completely worth every penny!

Our guide Vincent is truly incredible! He educated us the entire tour. The canal history and construction is truly mind-blowing. I'm still processing the information along with the experience. Breathtaking views. Being inside the Panama Canal locks was amazing. The whole process is a site to see. Lunch was delicious. For any vegans planning to book this experience...the vegan food options were filling and very good (rice, salad, plantains and sauteed vegetables). Everything was seasoned to a T! The bus driver was excellent.

I had an amazing experience, even though it was raining and chill out, the crew made sure we had a great time, the only thing we needed was the sun to make it an unforgettable experience. One of the crew members Miguel assisted me in getting in the water since I don't know how to swim, that was very sweet he was there watching over me while i was able to enjoy the water. Loved that the tour was both in english and spanish, also history based. The dance and the activities were great. Overall an amazing experience.

We had a great time. Great atmosphere and the ride and weather were fantastic. A lot of dancing and good times on the way back. Definitely would recommend to anyone wanting a nice evening with plenty of fun. The crew definitely wants you to enjoy it and they work hard.

Be prepared for 4 hours of fun. The DJs did replay songs (unknowingly) at different spots which was a little annoying but this is the perfect way to experience old city nightlife without waiting in line for ages for entrance and drinks. The team is well coordinated and helpful each step of the way. Bring your energy and have the best time.
