What are people saying about Panama City

Panama City Visit an Indian town Embera and waterfall with lunch

Melva_P, Aug 2026

The best experience ever but stay hydrated!

I had an amazing experience on the Embera Indigenous village tour! From beginning to end, the tour was enjoyable, informative, and very well organized. Our tour guide, Robert, was absolutely wonderful. He was friendly, knowledgeable, patient, and made sure everyone felt comfortable and included throughout the entire experience. Robert did a great job explaining the culture and traditions of the Embera community, and his positive attitude made the day even more enjoyable. He was attentive to our needs and went above and beyond to make sure we had a memorable experience. One of the highlights of the day was the delicious lunch, which included freshly prepared chicken and fish along with a variety of tropical fruits. Everything was flavorful and authentic, and it was a great way to experience the local cuisine. We also enjoyed watching the traditional tribal dancing, which was vibrant, energetic, and a beautiful expression of Embera culture. The visit to the village, the cultural activities, and the wonderful food all came together to make this a day I will never forget. I highly recommend this tour, especially if you are lucky enough to have Robert as your guide. He truly helped make the experience special!

Panama Tour

Jorge was an excellent tour guide and very helpful. The tour was very informative. Seeing the Panama Canal in person was amazing. My tip: Check the weather conditions for the day if its possible. There was alot of rain on the day we took the tour so we missed out on some great photo opportunities due to the rain.

Guys the tour guide, driver and boat captain were amazing.

Thomica_F, Aug 2026

Don’t Skip this Tour if You’re in Panama!

Alcibiades, his team and the beautiful people of Embera Island made this a magical experience. PLEASE REMEMBER TO WEAR WELLMADE WATER SHOES. It hurt my heart to see people especially children hiking in flip flops. It was a labor intensive walk BUT the reward was immeasurable. I would describe it as magical. The tour was informative and made me appreciate the lush land and beauty of the people beyond the aesthetic. Our guide was with us every step of the way and captured memories for my family that will last a lifetime. I’m looking forward to going every time I come to Panama.

Legends of Casco Viejo Tour: Hidden Gems with Panama Vibes Tours

Jerry_D, Aug 2026

Alex was perfect.

This walking tour of Casco Viejo was well orchestrated. Alex made this day well worth our while. Having lived and been raised in this area, he knew most everything and everyone His knowledge of the history of Panama, the Spanish, French , Colombian and American influences in the country were impeccable. Geopolitical, Religious, Indigenous populations that shaped this region were wonderfully chronicled. One of the few guides Ive encountered who keeps learning and adding to his knowledge and pride of his country. Highly recommended. If you get Alex as your guide, home run.

Panama Canal and City Tour Experience

Ebony_B, Jul 2026

Excellent Tour

This tour was very informative. We learned so much about the history of Panama. Carlos Suedoa was our tour guide, and he took us to the best gift shops for souvenirs. As part of our tour, we visited the Panama Canal and watched a ship pass in the lock. There was a lot of walking so be prepared, wear comfortable shoes, sunglasses and a hat! Carlos was very knowledgeable and he took time to give us information about the history of Panama and how it relates to the current state and future of Panama! The tour was excellent and I would recommend this for first time visitors as well as anyone who wants to learn about the country and history of Panama.

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! 🇵🇦✨

Panama Canal Full Transit Tour

Stellamarie_R, Mar 2026

Must Do if visiting Panamá

Great learning experience about the Canal of Panama. The tour guide (José) was very knowledgeable and gave the information in Spanish and English. He also answered all questions asked. The scenary is really pretty, especially if sitting on the right side of the ship. Things to consider, use a good sunscreen and reapply as the sun can be brutal. A hand fan can be beneficial if staying at the top floor of the ship. Otherwise, the view can be appreciated on the 1st and 2nd floor with AC. If you have food limitations, reach out beforehand or bring your own snacks as the menu is set and might not accomodate any dietary restrictions.
