What are people saying about Panama

Private City Tour + CANAL + Old Town + Amador + 360° VIEWS

Linda_C, Oct 2026

Awesome Tour!

My husband and I booked this excursion for the first time using Viator. It was an excellent tour of Panama City with the driver Joey. He arrived at the cruise terminal on time and had a very nice SUV, complete with airconditioning and a cooler with cold drinks. He was very friendly and had a good sense of humor. His narration of the history and locations we went to were very well done. Joey accomodated us as we wanted to go to a couple of specific locations and he was happy to be flexible. I would highly recommend using this company for any tour of Panama City!

Gatun Lake: Monkeys & Exotic Wildlife by the Canal

Gail_R, Oct 2026

Monkeys up close and personal

This was a really fun trip to see the Panama Canal and monkeys. Communication was great - we booked at the last minute - and the tour was as described. Our guide, Maribel, was very friendly and informative. Seeing the monkeys up close in the boat was an unforgettable experience and we appreciated the chance to learn more about the different species. We also saw a Basilisk and some birds, as well as a couple of ships on the canal.

Monkey and Sloth Jungle Habitat Panama Tour

Julie_N, Oct 2026

We love this tour so much, we did it twice in 6 months!

What a wonderful day to be out on the water and jungle looking for wildlife! Emilio has been our guide twice now and he knows animals. We saw three type of monkeys, sloths, Cayman crocs, bats, iguanas, Jesus lizard, and my bucket list item - TOUCANS! We were all on the bus ready to go back, when Emilio saw two in a nearby tree. We all excitedly jumped off the bus to take some fabulous pictures. What an incredible day!! Thank you!!!

Panama City Visit an Indian town Embera and waterfall with lunch

David_W, Oct 2026

Check "what's included" to avoid surprises

A very interesting day trip up a river to meet an Emberá tribe. Guide Irving, driver Jorge, and the whole Emberá tribe put on a good show, providing a glimpse at a remote forest tribe that has adapted to modern tourism. Stopped for a waterfall hike and swim along the way (note that there are no changing rooms). Then on to the village, where we were greeted with music and dancing, and a good lunch eaten out of a rolled leaf. Toured the village and artwork shop, and some people had temporary tattoos painted with fruit dye. Music and dancing followed, then we headed back down the river. Saw very little wildlife, but the tribe did have a pet toucan. Overall, it was a well-planned and unusual event.

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

Cindy_R, Oct 2026

We had a wonderful tour...

We had a wonderful tour of Casco Viejo with Alex. Even the day before the tour, Alex personally reached out to welcome us to Panama and confirm the pick-up time, which was a really nice touch. It already made the experience feel more personal than just an online booking. He picked us up at our hotel right on time, and as it turned out, we were the only ones booked that day, so we basically had a private tour — which was fantastic! Alex showed us around Casco Viejo and gave us lots of interesting information about the history, the beautiful buildings and the old walls that tell so much about the history of the area and its past. We visited a beautiful church, where he also gave us a great explanation, and even went into a museum that was already on our list. We were very happy to have Alex show us around there as well. We loved walking through the beautiful, incredibly clean streets and taking in all the different architectural styles. We also had plenty of time to sit down, enjoy the atmosphere, people-watch and ask Alex questions. What we especially appreciated was the personal touch. During the tour, Alex shared a little bit about his family and even showed us a photo of his daughter. It was a small thing, but it made the experience feel very personal and genuine. He also took us all the way down to the waterfront and to a lovely little street with handmade souvenirs. At the end, while he went to get the car, we offered him a drink as a small thank-you. Then, of course, it started raining! Alex came back with an umbrella and made sure we got into the car one by one without getting soaked. Such a thoughtful touch! Alex is friendly, knowledgeable and speaks very good English, which made the historical explanations so much easier to follow. We had a really lovely experience from beginning to end and would definitely recommend Alex!

Slingshot Tour Panama

Mamie_C, Oct 2026

Unforgettable Views and Smooth Organization

• Stunning Scenery: Cruising down the scenic coastal roads and the Amador Causeway gives you jaw-dropping, panoramic views of the modern city skyline on one side and the sparkling ocean on the other. • Impeccable Organization: From the moment you arrive at the base, everything runs on time and the instructions are clear, simple, and easy to follow. • Expert Motorcycle Guide: Having a dedicated guide in a car lead the convoy in the front and another on a motorcycle driving along ensure that navigating city traffic feels completely safe, smooth, and stress-free. They manage the pace perfectly so you can just relax and enjoy the thrill of the open-air ride with our favorite music playing. We were especially impressed with the guide on the motorcycle, exceptional skills!!!We’ve had multi car drives and slingshot drives as well. This is one of our favorite one. We had a blast and enjoyed the entire drive. Highly recommend!!

Panama Canal and City Tour Experience

An Incredible and Memorable Panama City Tour Experience

I had an incredible and memorable experience with this tour company. The guide was professional, knowledgeable, and very well-informed. I was picked up from my hotel early, allowing me to enjoy a full and exciting tour. Even the heat and occasional rain added to the adventure and made the experience more memorable. I learned so much about the fascinating history of Panama City, the Panama Canal, and the country overall. It was a beautiful, educational, and enjoyable experience, and I would highly recommend this tour company to anyone visiting Panama.

Panama Canal Partial Transit - Official Operator

Michelle_J, Sept 2026

A Must Book!

Our guide Vincent is truly incredible! He educated us the entire tour. The canal history and construction is truly mind-blowing. I'm still processing the information along with the experience. Breathtaking views. Being inside the Panama Canal locks was amazing. The whole process is a site to see. Lunch was delicious. For any vegans planning to book this experience...the vegan food options were filling and very good (rice, salad, plantains and sauteed vegetables). Everything was seasoned to a T! The bus driver was excellent.

Day Tour in San Blas Islands All Included Visiting 4 Islands

Derek_G, Aug 2026

The experience was...

The experience was amazing, our driver picked us up from the lobby of the building we had an Airbnb at. Along with a few other passengers in the area that would be joining us on the excursion. It was a long drive but felt faster on the way back. The boat was very fun to ride to the different islands and our guide was very helpful. Our guide Nigel, was very attentive and made sure we were able to order drinks or food that we wanted and always made sure everyone was onboard and had a life jacket before heading to the next destination. We visited 4 islands including the natural pool and were given a good meal along with some fruits. It was a great experience and I 100% recommend!

OG Crawl Afro Vibes Nightlife Experience

kevin_f, Jun 2026

My wife and I had a great...

My wife and I had a great time. The experience allowed us to explore a different side of Panama City and connect with new people. The clubs were nice, but we were surprised by the music selection. We expected to hear more local music, yet much of what was played was hip-hop and rap from Atlanta and New York. Still, we enjoyed visiting five different spots and had a wonderful experience overall.
