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

The absolute best!!
This was one of the most genuine and funnest excursions I’ve been on out of every country I’ve visited thus far. We visited a local Indian village and spent the day in the life of an Indian. Their hospitality was top notch, the people were VERY respectful, and the memories were captured. They cooked for me, took me on a hike, went swimming at the waterfall, kayaked down the river, gave me a tattoo, and danced until I was tired.

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.

This tour is an excellent way to spend a long layover in Panama City or to even plan a long layover to experience.
My tour guide, Javier, was extremely professional, knowledgeable and kind. As a solo female traveler, safety is always top of mind, and I felt very safe the entire tour. I would highly recommend this service to anyone.

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.

When I booked this, I thought it was a group tour, but to my surprise it was just the two of us. Our guide, Juan picked us up at our hotel and took us to the zip line. He was very cordial and friendly gave us some history along the way. He did the zip line with us and returned us back to our next hotel stay I highly recommend this tour. The Zipline staff where friendly and helpful.

The day was a success. ...
The day was a success. The captain and his 1st mate were very obliging. They worked very hard to ensure we had a great time and that our needs were met. The weather was great and the sloths in the trees at Playa Blanca were an added bonus. Snorkeling at Playa Blanca was the best.

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!
