Cruise Passenger - Panama City tour with Miraflores lock

Yolly_P, Nov 2025

We are currently on a Princess cruise with a port call in Panama, and this was truly an exceptional day trip thanks to our amazing guide, Edgar. He was incredibly knowledgeable about Panama’s history, culture, and nature, explaining everything with passion and clarity. He arrived right on time and was professional, personable, and attentive throughout the entire tour. We never felt rushed — Edgar gave us plenty of time to enjoy each stop, including a wonderful walk around Casco Viejo (Old Town). One of the highlights was an unforgettable coffee tasting featuring the #1 ranked coffee in the world, along with so many other unique experiences that made the day incredibly special. We’ve taken hundreds of tours through Viator over the years, and we can honestly say that Edgar is the best guide we’ve ever had. If you’re looking for a memorable, smooth, and well-run experience in Panama, look no further. John & Yolly from Hawai‘i

Response from Host, Nov 2025

Hi Yolly, Thank you so much for taking the time to leave such a wonderful review. It truly means a lot. I really enjoyed meeting you and John and getting to know you both during your visit—sharing Panama’s history, culture, nature, and of course our world-class coffee is always a pleasure, but it’s even more special with guests as kind and engaging as you two. I’m so glad to hear that you enjoyed Casco Viejo, the coffee tasting, and all the little moments that made the day memorable. Knowing that you’ve taken so many tours through Viator and still consider this one of your best experiences is incredibly humbling. Thank you for that honor. I hope the rest of your cruise is amazing, and if you ever return to Panama, it would be my absolute pleasure to welcome you back and show you even more of what makes this country so special. Warm regards, Edgar

Perfect, quick tour of Panama!

Edgar was a fantastic guide showing me the city and canal with a ton of great information about the history and culture of the country. He made sure to include as much as possible while also remaining attentive of my flight times and staying within the 2 hours.

Hi Meghan - glad to hear you enjoyed the experience and your time in Panama! It was wonderful getting to know you and really appreciate your taking the time to share your kind comments.

First visit to Panama

Kendra_C, May 2024

For starter, the timeliness of The pickup from the hotel. The calmness, gentle manner of Edgar. The comfort of the vehicle. The temperature of the vehicle. The thoroughness of the history of Panama and the Panama Canal. The timing of visiting the canal during the incoming of a ship. Took time to offer breaks, getting food and drink. Definitely worth the 2 or more hours. Would definitely recommend. Would definitely do again! All our heart this was the most calm, relaxing tour of Panama we have experienced thus far.

Response from Host, May 2024

Thanks Kendra so much for taking the time to share your experience. Was amazing getting to know you both and glad you enjoyed the tour. Hope you continue having a terrific time here in Panama!

A must do for those with little time!

Stacey_L, Jan 2024

My trip to Panama City was short, but sweet and Edgar certainly was the element that made this short trip worth while. This tour gave me the opportunity to view popular sites of Panama without standing in the blazing heat! Edgar had a well of knowledge for each site he took me to, and was able to answer all of my questions without pause. I thoroughly enjoyed the lectures about Panama's history, but enjoyed our personal conversation as well. If you're in a time crunch, this is a must do!

Response from Host, Jan 2024

Thanks Stacey for the opportunity to show you around Panama and to share about our history. I really enjoyed getting to know you as well, and happy to hear I was able to contribute to making your trip worthwhile!

Perfect tour guide, easy tour!

Mindy_H, Nov 2023

Edgar was a phenomenal tour guide! He was responsive, flexible, and full of great advice and information that made the tour perfect. He showed me some places I didn’t even know to ask about. He was also a great photographer since I didn’t have anyone with me to take pictures of me at the sights. Edgar is very personable and professional. I can fully recommend this tour, and especially Edgar if you need a tour guide!

Response from Host, Nov 2023

Thank you for your kind words Mindy, it was a pleasure to meet you and show you Panama. Glad you enjoyed your time here and also got some great pictures to remember your visit!
