Step back more than 500 years and explore the rich — and often overlooked — history of African ancestry in Panama.

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.

Panama City Visit an Indian town Embera and waterfall with lunch

Rachelle_I, Nov 2026

Our Embera village tour...

Our Embera village tour with Orlando was a highlight of our trip to Panama! It was a wonderful opportunity to learn about the Embera people, their culture, and their traditions while enjoying Panama’s beautiful natural surroundings. Orlando made the experience especially memorable. His warm personality and enthusiasm brought the tour to life, and we appreciated the care he put into guiding us. The community’s hospitality made the visit feel truly special. We left with beautiful memories and a deeper appreciation for Embera culture. Highly recommend this tour—and Orlando as your guide!

Monkey and Sloth Jungle Habitat Panama Tour

Michael_W, Nov 2026

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!

Panama Canal Partial Transit - Official Operator

Tizzy_A, Nov 2026

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.

We had an excellent private tour of Panama with Fredy! He is a wonderful guide with extensive knowledge of Panama’s history.

Panama Canal and City Tour Experience

Robert_M, Oct 2026

Super informative Canal & Panama City Highlights Tour

Excellent, informative tour of the Panama Canal and other interesting sites in Panama City. Gabriel did an excellent job working around some last minute changes in the Canal Visitor Center’s schedule due to the recent earthquake. We had a couple of folks from China who spoke no Spanish and only a bit of English, but Gabe was super patient working through translations. I really knew very little about the operations and pride Panamanian’s have for this complex and critical logistics link. Also loved the beautiful views of the city from the marina. One final stop on the tour was the high end hat shop near the Plaza Mayor…I came back later to make a purchase. All in all a great tour, gracias Gabriel!

Panama Canal & City Tour with Hotel Pickup & Canal Entry Included

Albertino_T, Oct 2026

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.

antonialA9237BD, Oct 2026

Beautiful!!

Very good experience! The guides, like the transportation, explained everything to us about the Guna so we could make our visit the best it could be. Although sometimes the relationship between the guides and us felt a little cold, it is understandable that it is like that! In general, it was enjoyed a lot, the food was very delicious, they had about 3 options (chicken, fish, or seafood) for lunch and they gave us a plate of fruit per person which was delicious! The beaches were warm and refreshing, especially very beautiful.

Great Experience!

I had an amazing experience, even though it was raining and chill out, the crew made sure we had a great time, the only thing we needed was the sun to make it an unforgettable experience. One of the crew members Miguel assisted me in getting in the water since I don't know how to swim, that was very sweet he was there watching over me while i was able to enjoy the water. Loved that the tour was both in english and spanish, also history based. The dance and the activities were great. Overall an amazing experience.
