What are people saying about Panama

Panama City Tour and Panama Canal – Miraflores Locks Experience

JoAnna_L, Apr 2026

Definitely Go. Guide Eduardo is fantastic!

It was great. Our guide, Eduardo, was excellent. Spoke fluent English and Spanish and gave info in both. Knew about history and areas, answered all questions, made us feel safe, was patient, gave tips on other things to do and places to go and how to get there without being a salesman. Just helpful. Super nice young man. Lots of smiles and laughs while seeing and learning about Panama. On request they also picked us up from Playa Bonita at our resort. Only a little bit extra and did not ask for anything more. Our driver, whose name I am sorry to say I forgot, was amazing. Quiet and focussed on the road which was great cuz the roads are super busy with everyone going every which way. He did it expertly and fast. I would highly recommend booking with them. Also, if you want to be dropped off at a spot along the way and go from there on your own - that’s ok too. Some people on the bus did that. Ooh - DO see the movie at Mileflores lock. May sound boring but it wasn’t at all. Thanks again. JO & Pat from BC

Wonderful experience, Ruben is the best!

Worth every penny! An amazing tour that was delivered by an amazing, knowledgable tour guide. From the moment we were picked up at our hotel till we were dropped off, our senses were captivated with interesting facts, history and beautiful scenery. The IMAX movie was the icing on the cake.

Great tour and tour guide/driver

We absolutely loved this tour. They were on time, friendly and very knowledgeable. Our driver was Ivan; he was careful throughout all day long. Our tour guide was Arsenio; he was prompted to answer any and all questions we had. He was extremely nice and my family and I had a great time with him. They also offered us a variety of cold beverages throughout the excursion. I would definitely recommend them to anyone. Panama Canal was amazing and all the places we visited. Thank you guys!

Tour to a waterfall and Embera village with lunch included

Candice_E, Mar 2026

Great time!

To be ready for a great half day of learning, an experience, and enjoyment!! From the time your guide (Dan) picks you up (he brings so much history as you're driving to the destination)...the canoe ride was just WoW!..., the waterfall was great, and the village with indigenous people and their way of life was the icing on the cake!! Everything that is explained for the booking is just that...no surprises!!

Panama City Bike Tour

Marcus_L, Mar 2026

Bike Tour Experience in Panama City

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.

Tour Embera Indigenous Village and waterfall with lunch

Kadian_H, Mar 2026

Book this tour you will not regret it!

I think this tour is going to be the highlight of my visit in Panama.. It was all I expected plus more. From start to finish Logan our tour guide was friendly and professional. Communication with him was very clear and it would seem like you knew him forever!!! He's very helpful, always willing to give a helping hand. I would like to visit again with more family membwrs because I think everyone should experience this interaction with the Embera tribe!!! I will definately book Logan again for future tours!!!!!!!

Panama Canal Partial Tour - Northbound direction

mandiebauman, Mar 2026

Yolo!

If you’re only going to be in Panama City once, this is worth doing. You get to experience the engineering of the locks first-hand. For me it was the bucket list item I didn’t know I needed. I took an amazing time lapse of the water coming up and of our boat leaving the canal. Take the tour.YOLO.

Day Tour at Panama Canal from Ocean to Ocean

Full day tour of the Panama Canal from Atlantic to Pacific

Private Tour of the Historic Center of Panama and Canal

DrAngie_B, Feb 2026

A wonderful private tour

Our tour with Dennis was very nice. He arrived on time, the car was very comfortable with AC ( very important for hot Panama City weather). We were able to see the important sites in Panama City. Along the tour, he explained the history of the city and the canal. We even got to see a few sloths very close, an added bonus and made our day. All in all, we had a wonderful time.

Bocas del Toro Island Hopping Day Tour in Zapatilla Beach

Michelle_M, Feb 2026

We had a very lovely day....

We had a very lovely day. The highlight was seeing dolphins (although I wish we had spent longer watching them) and managed to see one sloth and a few starfish. Our guide and driver were very friendly. We spent a bit too long at the restaurant but otherwise the rest of the day was very enjoyable

Private Group Layover Panama Canal & City Tour

Shannon_S, Dec 2025

Rafael was an amazing...

Rafael was an amazing tour guide. He started communicating with me before the tour and made sure we were able to find him. He was so knowledgeable about Panamanian history and the area. He was able to help us find sloths and toucans, in addition to the other parts of the tour. Upon hearing our food preferences, he chose a great restaurant for us to get lunch that satisfied all of our family members. He had good tips for the Panama Canal, where we were able to get great views of a ship going through the first lock. Rafael was very kind, attentive, and made our layover a fantastic time. Thank you!
