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!

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!!

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.

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.

Great experience on the Panama Canal
We absolutely loved this experience! What a unique experience and we are able to cross this off of our bucket list! It was interesting, educational and a once in a lifetime opportunity! Be prepared for a long day and bring sunscreen and a rain jacket. The narrator explained the trip as we went and we were able to move all around the boat to watch all areas. We were served a lunch which was simple but plentiful and good. There is a bar where you can purchase drinks and additional snacks if you need. Overall, we recommend this opportunity.

Embera village with lunch and water fall with swimming
Great tour company and an amazing experience! This trip was the highlight of my visit to Panama. The canoe ride on the Chagres River was beautiful and relaxing. The natural pool at the waterfall was very refreshing and a perfect place to swim. Visiting the Emberá village community was incredible and gave us a wonderful cultural experience. Overall, I enjoyed every moment of this tour. Thank you!

Full day tour of the Panama Canal from Atlantic to Pacific
Very informative tour of Panama Canal from Pacific to Atlantic. We got to see the impressive lock system and ships passing through the various parts of the canal. We also did a boat tour in the canal and Lake Gatun. We saw various monkeys, sloths and native species

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.

Wildlife spotting!
This was a great tour for wildlife spotting! We ended up being the only ones signed up so we actually had a private tour with Jorge, who was very knowledgeable and brought a spotting scope for us to view the animals and birds up close. We were able to see Agouti, Toucans, Parrots, Two and Three toed Sloths to name a few! Had we hiked Ancon Hill on our own, we certainly would not have been able to locate these animals. Best time to go is early morning. It got quite busy towards the end of our tour.

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

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.

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!
