Excellent fun tour
This monkey tour showed us exactly what it said it would. Lots of monkeys. Close up. 3 different types. Also iguanas, bats, birds.
Maribel our guide was friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. Maribel explained the differences between monkey species. We also saw several sections of Panama which Maribel spoke about as we drove through.
The van driver and staff on the boat were excellent. They knew where to find and attract monkeys. I would highly recommend this tour.

Appreciated pick up and...
Appreciated pick up and drop off at hotel. Our guide was very knowledgeable and answered all our questions. Well timed activities and avoided line ups. The van was very comfortable and air conditioned. Learned so much about the history of the area and the building of the Panama Canal.

A memorable day
The Embera trip was a wonderful experience. The guide Philipe was very knowledgeable and friendly. Although we weren't allowed to do the waterfall (Police blockade) our guide chose an area where we could swim before embarking on an awesome day with the Embera Indians. We got a great overview of their culture by viewing them at work and play. It was an interactive session and we enjoyed the food, dance, souvenirs and displays presented by these very warm and friendly people.

Good times
The nighttime catamaran tour overlooking Panama City was an absolutely wonderful experience! The views of the illuminated skyline were breathtaking, creating a beautiful and unforgettable atmosphere. The staff was friendly, helpful, and very interactive, making sure everyone felt welcome and enjoyed the experience. Everything was excellent from beginning to end. I highly recommend this excursion to anyone visiting Panama City. It was definitely one of the highlights of my trip!

Pay attention on the ride back to the hotel
Ty pick up no issues, the tour and guide great!!! The drop was was very disappointing. It started with us changing shuttles to a non-English speaking driver (we booked an English tour) and he took 52min to get us to our hotel once we passed it the first time. He went to a hotel no one was staying at and I had to ask twice if he was going to our hotel. We passed our hotel within one block twice, we should have made him stop to let us out and walk. That was very disappointing after a great tour!

Nothing like it in the world
This tour takes you up close and personal through the history and current practice of the Canal. This tour puts you alongside container ships the size of large skyscrapers. It is truly impossible to comprehend the scale of the operation that happens every day on the canal until you are here. You will also learn about the incredible human capital that was expended in the effort to build the canal and how it has shaped the lives of Panamanians since.

Private tour
We had an excellent private tour of Panama with Fredy! He is a wonderful guide with extensive knowledge of Panama’s history. We visited the Panama Canal and other important sites, and he made the experience both informative and enjoyable. Highly recommended if you want to learn about Panama from a knowledgeable and professional guide!

Spectacular San Blas
Absolutely incredible from start to finish! The driver Jamie was exceptional! The stunning views crossing the mountain through the jungle were amazing. Learning about the Guna Yala people and culture was enlightening. Seeing the islands and the water ... beautiful!!! I wish all my family/friends could experience this wonderful journey!

Around town with Alex
This was a great walking tour! We were picked up and delivered back to the cruise port with friendly and punctual drivers. Alex met our group and was so enjoyable to listen to…he had so many interesting facts and stories to tell as well as knowing just about everybody in town! It was a hot day but he made sure to incorporate air conditioned stops as well as water and restroom stops. I would highly recommend this tour!

Great experience
My parents and I booked this tour on our layover in Panama. We received multiple messages with detailed instructions about 1 week before our trip. However, we never expected an earthquake to shatter our schedule. Our flight was delayed for 8 hours so we basically missed out the deadline for cancellation. Immediately after my notification about missing out the tour, I received an instant message about making up for the missed tour. I was completely shocked about their professionalism and caring response. I was offered a new tour the next morning without any additional cost. I was picked up the next morning on time. Both KiKei and Jimmy were super attentive. We were able to catch the ship passing through the lock and the train passing by on our first try. The tour guides were very meticulous about timing so we can see all the actions at the Canal. After the Canal, we were dropped off at old town and were given a highly detailed explanation about all the buildings there. Overall. I highly recommend this tour company. They turned one of my most stressful travel experience into a great one with a lot of wonderful memories.

Panama tours tend to focus on the engineering feat that is the Panama Canal—and for good reason. Learn how the canal changed the landscape of Panama City while touring its key attractions, from the lively Amador Causeway to the historic architecture of Casco Antiguo. Then join the ships on the canal itself, boating to jungle islands that are home to sociable monkeys as well as crocodiles, sloths, iguanas, and other wildlife. Many excursions include rainforest hikes, local food tastings, and visits to indigenous communities, as well.
