Step back more than 500 years and explore the rich — and often overlooked — history of African ancestry in Panama. This walking journey unfolds through two defining chapters: the colonial era, marked by the harsh realities of slavery and powerful acts of resistance, and the West Indian migrations — a period of labor, resilience, and cultural legacy that helped shape Panama’s identity. • Our walk begins in Casco Antiguo, moving beyond the former walls that once divided the elite from the working-class community of Santa Ana. • We continue along Central Avenue, a vibrant area filled with stories and local life. • Then we visit the Afro-Antillean Museum to explore the lives and contributions of West Indian migrants who helped build the nation. Optional: Lunch at San Felipe Neri Market for local comfort food and a refreshing natural juice. Book the Walking Experience + Lunch option. This experience invites you to discover the shadows and lights that shape Afro-Panamanian heritage.

What are people saying about Panama

Frank_S, Jul 2026

They communicate very...

They communicate very well. If you are English speaker, they speak great English and translate very well. This is a very professional tour. I recommend this to anybody looking to book the indigenous tour. They were very kind and patient and make sure everybody was accounted for and I don’t normally leave review so this is definitely a good tour.

Monkey and Sloth Jungle Habitat Panama Tour

Alyson_P, Jun 2026

A fun tour to join when flying solo

This was a great group tour to join as a solo traveler. Transportation was super easy to coordinate with the hotel pick up and our tour guide (Jaz) and driver (Denny) were lovely. We saw three different kinds of monkeys and it was fun to zoom along on the lake near the large ships crossing the canal. Do be wary that the monkeys feast on fruit brought on all the tour boats (so some potential qualms there; however, it is unlikely you would see so many monkeys if not) but otherwise it was great. Be sure to have cash or card on you as well for the $20 boat fee.

All Inclusive Taboga Island Catamaran Tour from Panama City

Iman_M, Jun 2026

You HAVE to take this tour when you visit Panama!

I actually founds this excursion last minute on Tik Tok and I AM SO GLAD WE BOOKED IT! I just moved to Panama and I wanted to try something while my friends were in town. We had an amazing time, we felt safe we had a blast the staff was so friendly and helpful! We enjoyed the beach, the food, the drinks, the dancing, music and swimming in the ocean! We had 2 friends that were scared of water and have never been swimming and the staff made them feel so comfortable they decided to hop in! That made such a unforgettable experience I hope the team understands how much the staff made an impact on our excursion and our experience shows how much a difference it makes when you feel comfortable and can enjoy yourself especially while traveling to another country! The timing of the trip was great as well, not too long where you feel stuck and not too short where you feel like you could have stayed for longer. I will definitely have to book again when I have other friends in town :)

Panama Canal & City Tour in Half Day: Old Town & City Views

Julia_T, Jun 2026

Easy Tour of Panama City

Ciara (our guide) and Orlando (the driver) were fantastic! Ciara is very knowledgeable as she knows her country’s history. She also was able to find us a couple of sloths to view as they relaxed in a tree! Lastly, get the option that includes the Panama Canal. The movie, which I thought that I didn’t want to see, was awesome!

Exceptional tour guide and tour experience

Dan is a very experienced tour guide. Listening to his knowledge and stories about the Canal is like sitting through a history class. He captivates your interest and encourages you to ask questions to challenge him and help you learn about everything you are observing. Dan is a great tour guide, the watching ships cross the canal is awe inspiring. Don’t miss this tour with Dan.

Private City Tour + CANAL + Old Town + Amador + 360° VIEWS

Rob_B, Jun 2026

Great tour if you're here for a few days.

This was a good tour and Elena our guide, was amazing! She arrived on time and clelarly explained what was expected on the tour while we drove off. She was friendly, courteous and most importantly she was a safe driver and made us feel comfortable. Not once for the entire tour did we feel rushed or forced while doing any of the activities. The tour itself was an ideal way for my wife and I to see a few of the interesting places in Panana City that we probably would not have gotten to see as we were only here for a few days. It was a blend of education and fun. Elena was able to navigate us smoothly though the crowds at the Canal so we could see a ship enter and leave one of the locks. She even shared a little history of Panama as we drove past certain historical points. We truly enjoyed the tour. Highly recommend it.

All Inclusive Sunset Panama Bay Catamaran Tour From Panama City

Quest_S, May 2026

Best catamaran cruise ever!

Other travelers should know the exact location of the pier. Some of the shop owners in the area were giving out wrong information. Travelers should be prepared to remove their shoes to cross the gang plank to get onboard the catamaran, the surface is very slippery. The crew were very helpful helping the guest on the boat. It might also be a good idea to bring a jacket because the temperature on the water can be different than the temperature onshore. While there is a designated smoking area on-board it's probably a good idea not to smoke at all. The views of the city skyline were amazing. It was slightly overcast on our cruise but clouds started clearing away and we almost had a starry night. The atmosphere on-board couldn't be better, the staff were very knowledgeable and fun to be with. The drinks are unlimited, when the music started the cruise became live with dancing, cheering and guest loosening up. The crew had some dance routines that enhances the experience even more. Guest joint in with crew when the catamaran stopped off the coast and the boat started rocking not from the sea but from everyone that were dancing to the music being played on-board. That was Panamanian fun at it finest. Our crew were most entertaining. When it was time to return guest continue having a good time until just before reaching the pier. The crew helped everyone off board and the crates were there with your shoes. Best catamaran cruise ever.

The OG Crawl – Afro Vibes Nightlife Experience

Tashae_S, May 2026

Absolutely AMAZING...

Absolutely AMAZING experience with the OG Bar Crawl in Panama! 🔥🍹 From start to finish, the energy was unmatched and the tour guides truly brought the vibe. They kept the group engaged, hyped, and made the entire night feel fun, safe, and unforgettable. A few tips for anyone planning to go: • Wear comfortable shoes — you’ll definitely be moving around a lot. • Eat beforehand or at the first stop, because most of the other bars didn’t have food available. Overall, such a well-organized and lively experience. Perfect way to explore the nightlife and meet great people while visiting Panama. Highly recommend! 🇵🇦✨

Day Tour in San Blas Islands All Included Visiting 4 Islands

Fabiola_A, Apr 2026

Beautiful beaches, amazing service. The trip to San Blas was the highlight of our vacation to Panama. The food

Visiting San Blas on this tour was the highlight of our vacation! Beautiful beaches, easy travel. Getting there took about 3 hours but our guide made a stop so that we could grab breakfast on the way. Then we took a 45 minute boat ride to the first island which was a total dream! We got there early enough that we had the whole island to ourselves. We got amazing pictures and enjoyed the ocean. For lunch they served us fish and chicken with fried plantains, salad, and coconut rice. They even had vegetarian options. After 2 hours on the first island we jumped back on the boat and went to the other 3 islands, spending about 1 hour at each. Each island had its own magical experience. We were able to kayak (for free), snorkel (equipment was provided), see starfish, and interact with the Gunas and buy souvenirs from them. I was able to get some incredible pictures! Everything was included, our tour guide was funny and took really good care of us. I would strongly recommend this tour!!!
