A good experience
It was a private tour with my host Juan.We started at the Panama Canal.Juam had a aura that immediately makes you feel safe and that was important to me since I was a solo traveler.He was knowledgeable about the canal and historical sights.
More stops and photo opportunities would make the tour A+
Overall it was a good tour.

Tour iverview
If you have as knowledgable a tour guide as Dennis, you will learn so much about the history of the Panama Canal and Panama City! He makes the story intriguing. We saw a ship rising and moving out of the locks and he explained the mechanism by which it happens. After the canal we watched the IMAX film. Totally worthwhile. Then on to the charming Old City! Dennis knows all the locals and is very friendly.

Great to see the Panama Canal in action! Strolling on the Amador Causeway is a worthwhile trip. Excellent tour guide.

Book the tour!!!
Luis is the best tour guide ever. I would happily go on any tour he is hosting. He is funny and so knowledgeable about the country. While I enjoyed the Panama Canal part, the city tour was the star for me. He took us off the beaten path and showed us the things we really wanted to see. It was almost like a customized event. I am planning to move to Panama next year and he had so many tips for me and really showed me what day to day life looks like in the country. Book the tour!

Excellent
Luis was a very good tour guide. He gave us a lot of back story on the history of Panama. The boat tour of the Panama Canal was excellent and cool. The cultural was very knowledgeable and life filling. I would recommend this tour for others to do and I would recommend doing the tour with Luis

Exceptional tour
Great history lesson of not only the Panama Canal, but the country as a whole. To get a glimpse into this massive engineering undertaking is humbling to say the least. Highly recommended for anyone interested in engineering, Panamanian history, and culture.

Best rainforest trip
Was picked up promptly at our hotel the charge was included, and our ticket price knowledgeable staff was kind and considerate looked out for our safety and our well-being would definitely do it again. Our guides name was Daniel very knowledgeable about the rainforest. Excellent explanation about everything. Even before arriving to the rainforest, our driver notice a sloth in the tree and they pulled over so we could take pictures.

The Monkey Islands are a must-see when visiting Panama City and the canal. Unlike other boat tours, our guides focused on conservation and the animals' health and safety, which I appreciated. I learned a ton about the local wildlife!

A perfect quick version of Panama City!
We were picked up by Richard right on time and he was the perfect host! He explained everything, had our tickets ready for the canal, got us first row seats to viewing a ship passing through, and got us to the highlights of the city. The van was clean and cool and my 92 year old mother in law enjoyed every minute! This is the experience you need to get a quick overview of this beautiful city!
