A great way to fill that 'in transit' time. - Pierre organised it, Daniel was the driver and guide, and I thoroughly enjoyed my few hours with the Panama Travel Corp. I asked to see the canal, and then just a general tour and view of Panama City, and that is exactly what I got. The canal was as expected, well worth seeing, but the old part of Panama City was a highlight too. A really great way to spend a few hours in transit. As an aside, I requested a change to the timings I had booked with Pierre, due to yet another changed airline schedule, and with no fuss, it was done. Daniel was on time, and the perfect host. Thanks guys, really enjoyed the day.

More to Panama City than the Canal - I had expected that the highlight of the tour would be exploring the Canal and it was great. Our tour guide Roger also took us on a tour of the old town part of Panama City. He was very knowledgeable and proud of his city. That came through and made the tour wonderful.

I had an eight hour layover in... - <p>I had an eight hour layover in Panama City and booked this tour the night before. My guide was there to meet me, took me on a fabulous tour of Panama City and the Canal he made sure there was a ship going through when we arrived. Panama City and Panama are surprisingly beautiful and the Canal is a must see. you will not regret it if you appreciate a marvel of human engineering and the history of its construction.</p>

Exclusive transfer for 5 hours with friendly driver in Panama City - The cost of the "Excursion" greatly exceeds the actual value of the service. The experience was pleasant, the guide friendly, however not worth the 800 dollars it costs. It is not a “standardized” product, it gives the impression that it depends on the “taste” of the guide, who took us places according to the consultations we asked him. As we were passing through, the van had all our luggage and unfortunately the protection of luggage was privileged to a deeper explanation of the different places. We got off alone, walked alone, and since we had to "take care" of the luggage there was no accompaniment in the different places. I would have hoped that because of the burdensomeness of the tour at least they would have a paper guide to what we could see if we had to go everywhere alone. The photos are just to show that we actually visited Panama. On second thought I would say that the service should be called "exclusive transfer for 5 hours with friendly driver in Panama City".

It was a good idea, but it did not... - <p>It was a good idea, but it did not work out as well as we hoped. Our guide was late. We had 5 hours tour, but we defiantly did not see 5 hours worth of sites. In our 5 hours, we saw 3 sites and had time to eat. I would not recommend this tour.</p>
