What are people saying about Panama City

Alan_I, May 2026

Must do tour of Panama Canal and more

It is well worth the extra money to do the private tour. Ruben was an excellent tour guide we did the Panama Canal and lucky to see a ship go through the locks.We also did the boat ride to Monkey Island though a bit touristy it still was fun.We highly recommend it.

Panama City Visit an Indian town Embera and waterfall with lunch

Pooja_S, May 2026

You should not miss this...

You should not miss this if you are visiting Panama City. We had the best time and this experience will forever stay with us. The Embera people were so kind, gracious, beautiful and knowledgeable. We appreciated the opportunity to see their culture and way of life. Truly a priceless opportunity that we will never forget. Thank you to every person who made this possible — from the driver, to the tour guides, to every member of the Embera tribe for welcoming us and gifting us with this opportunity.

Tour to a waterfall and Embera village with lunch included

Tour to the village

This tour was amazing, definitely a must do. Dan was so insightful and gave us interesting history tad bits on Panama. It rained on the way back from our tour and he even had ponchos for us to use. The fruits were the best I ever had and I will be dreaming about them at home. From the road trip there, the people, the food and the boat ride you are definitely getting a well rounded experience 10/10.

Legends of Casco Viejo Tour: Uncover Hidden Gems

Michelle_O, May 2026

Highly Recommend this Tour

Alexander was very informative and provided historical information and I learned so much about Panama. The textile museum was wonderful. I loved learning about the process and seeing how each piece is made of several intricate pieces laid upon the next one. I highly recommend this tour. Panama is very hot and humid, make certain to bring water and possibly electrolytes. There is a bit of walking over cobblestones so make certain to wear walking shoes. The pace was perfect, not too fast, not too slow.

Monkey and Sloth Jungle Habitat Panama Tour

Jill_C, May 2026

Must Do Panama experience

This is an all encompassing tour for visitors. You get to see the country through the comfort of the van, get a high speed boat tour of the canal and get an amazing history lesson. Our guide looked good and was professional and ensured everyone was involved and enjoying the experience. We saw 13 different animals including crocodiles and a sloth. Our guide got the monkeys to eat out of our hands as they hopped all over our boat., The walk through the jungle was fascinating! We learned so much. We also stoped at a local store for bathroom and local snacks prepared for us. Excellent way to learn and be entertained. It was worth the price and time. In fact we did not want it to end.

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

Tiawanna_J, May 2026

Educational and Informative and Professional.

Very informative and professional. Our tour guide even sat with me when I couldn’t climb stairs at the canal due to my disability. He said we never leave family behind. He explained everything in English to me and even showed me the workings of the canal on his tablet. He didn’t have to do any of that but he did.

All-inclusive 8-hour catamaran tour to Isla Taboga from Panama City

Travis_B, May 2026

This 8-hour catamaran tour to **Isla Taboga** was an incredible highlight of my time in **Panama City**.

The experience was seamless from start to finish, offering a perfect blend of relaxation and adventure on the water. The "all-inclusive" nature of the trip made for a truly stress-free day. The crew was attentive and professional, ensuring everyone on board was comfortable while we took in the stunning views of the coastline and the island. It was exactly the kind of polished and culturally significant excursion I look for when traveling internationally. If you are looking for an upscale, classic day trip that captures the beautiful energy of Panama, this is it. I highly recommend booking early—it’s a popular choice for a reason!

All Inclusive Taboga Island Catamaran Tour from Panama City

Hardeek_P, Apr 2026

A fun day in the sun. Don't forget sunscreen!

Its definitely depends on the group but once the boat was in motion and drinks flowing, people opened up and it was a very social event. Had some interesting chats. I went on a weekday so the island was dead, which kinda make the 2 hours seem like too long but it was quite chill. The crew and bartenders were great and a lot of fun. I

All Inclusive Sunset Panama Bay Catamaran Tour From Panama City

Dana_G, Mar 2026

Beautiful Night on the Water

We had a great time on the cruise. The staff was nice and engaging. They ensured everyone left with a smile on their faces, even the passengers that arrived late and had to catch us from another boat! We danced, we relaxed, we drank, and we enjoyed the views! The only helpful tip I would offer is to bring socks/beach shoes. We had to take off our shoes upon boarding, which the team shared, however, we all thought we could put them back on once we had boarded. The floors of the boat are not the most comfortable. I hope you have a great time like we did!

Slingshot Tour Panama

MERLE_D, Feb 2026

Slingshot tours...

SLINGSHOT TOURS This was truly one of the best tours my wife and I had the opportunity to do as we rented a SLINGSHOT vehicle and had Tony as our guide. It was my first time driving a SLINGSHOT vehicle but Tony said it was like driving a car and he was right and I overcame my fear of driving in the street in Panama City, Panama especially during rush hour. Tony informs us what the tour would consist which we would make 2 stops where he took our pictures. He mentions the ride could be a little rough only because it was rush. Tony should be praise for the job he did during our tour in guiding us to and from back to the park lot safely. Keep us the great work Tony!! We highly recommend this tour.
