Panama Tour - Very informative. Aurora was on time and we were ready to go. We were so glad she was doing the driving, the roads go every which way! She gave us so much history and was very interesting. We stopped and saw a sloth. Her knowledge of the Panama Canal was great.

Absolutely great - Aurora was a fantastic guide. The tour lasted close to 6.5 hours. There were six of us so she arranged even a larger 12 passenger van. We toured all the sites and stopped for a very good affordable lunch. I booked her because of her reviews and it didn’t disappoint. I highly recommend this tour. 5 stars.

An Unforgettable Day at the Canal with Aurora! - We booked a private full-day tour of all the Panama Canal sites, and Aurora was absolutely fantastic. She has a gift for explaining the complex history and mechanics of the Canal in a way that is clear, engaging, and easy to understand. Not only is she incredibly knowledgeable, but she is also very easy to spend the day with—personable, professional, and attentive. If you want to truly "get" the Canal and enjoy your day while doing it, ask for Aurora. We couldn’t have asked for a better guide!

A taste of Panama - A good way to see Panama. A private tour for the three of us! A little culture, a little religion, a little history and some local fruit and some chocolate. Aura was great. Always found us! Very attentive.

Awesome Customized Tour of Panama - We had a wonderful tour of Panama. Aurora was an awesome tour guide. She adjusted our schedule to meet our needs. We visited Old Town including the craft market, church and other noteworthy sites. We also visited the Panama Canal museum and IMAX theater. She also stopped at a local fruit market to buy us tasty tropical fruits. I highly recommend!!

An incredible day of history! - This experience was incredibly thorough and personalized. Carlos has extensive knowledge about Panamanian history and was so fun to spend the day with. He was patient, kind, and answered all of our questions. He made sure that we arrived just in time to see a tanker pass through the locks. This tour went at a great pace and he had delicious snacks for us. I would recommend this tour a million times over to friends and family. Thank you Carlos!

Carefree Way to Visit the Panamá Canal - Perfect Way to See the Canal! As we only had two days in Panamá City this tour was the perfect way to see so much of this historic area. The IMAX movie at the Miraflores Locks was worth the price of admission! The night before, we were notified of a meet-up time change in order to catch a glimpse of the last ship passing through the locks that morning. So thoughtful! Really appreciated the water and snacks, quick shopping stop on Flamingo Island and tour of Casco Viejo. One of the highlights was visiting the Museo de Mola! Our guide, Aurora, was amazingly considerate at every stop.
