Hands down the BEST Bike Tour! - Fun, exciting, extremely easy route to navigate, and best informative tour Guides! The husband and wife duo are the best at what they do. I felt safe, comfortable, and at ease during my tour. I am hard of hearing and they took great care of me. They use the ear walkie talkie to communicate everything you need to know. Most bike tours, I always feel left out and excluded, but not with Johnathan and his lovely wife, I felt included and I was able to hear everything. The bike path was easy to get around. I’m glad I chose them. Book them , don’t even think about it. They love what they do and it shows. And if you’re hard of hearing, the ear walkie talkie works! Brilliant idea on their end and it lets you know they put a lot of thoughts into their tour.

A great half day - plus more. - The day started well, with Jose calling us 5 minutes prior to let us know he was on time. We drove directly to the Miraflores locks, beating the tour bus crowds. He knew the best place to position ourselves for a cruise ship passing through, again avoiding the masses. These are small examples of his personal attention to details that made our day great. When we expressed particular interest in the period leading up to the 1989 US invasion , he extended our tour to show us how that history played out. He helped us pick a lunch spot, then stayed long enough to drive us back to our hotel. He went above and beyond expectations all day. Highly recommend.

Panamá City bike tour. - It was a fun trip with lots of information. We thought it was going to be an e-bike but had no problem going up and down the hills.

Absolute must-do tour of Panama City! - Jonathan has designed a truly incredible tour that blends some of the most important elements of Panama City life. From the chequered history of Casco Antiguo, through to the Canal Zone and back, all while taking in some of the real neighbourhoods that make up this city. A beautiful tour from start to finish and we were sad when it came to an end. 100% thumbs up, must-do activity if you have a day in the City.

Highly recommend! - Really authentic tour with Jonathan! Loved all the information he gave us and his way of thinking and showing us different perspectives! The tour with the bike itself is not heavy, not many too steep parts. He also took good care of us in the traffic. Good tour to support!
