Juan is amazing! - Juan made our experience unforgettable. We learned so much and saw the not so traveled path of Panama City as well (such as the administration building). We had a private tour so we were able to spend the time how we wanted. We skipped the movie at the canal to spend more time in Old Town.

Amena. Instructive and valuable experience - A complete tour, of course, pleasant and full of historical reviews that allow you to have a proper picture of the events that occurred in the places we visited

Our Guide was Juan and he... - Our Guide was Juan and he was very knowledgeable, kind and very accommodating. The driver was Altero (I am not sure of the spelling of Alteroname). Altero was also very nice and accommodating... My family and I really enjoyed both Juan and Altero... Keep up the Awesome Job and we will definitely patronize this company again..Merry Christmas and Feliez Navidad.

Satisfied visitors - Be on time for pickup. Excellent English speaking guide & wonderful driver through some very narrow streets. We were lucky to get to the Panana Canal in time to see a big ship being guided through the Canal. IMax movie excellent.

Fascinating Tour of Panama - The tour was approximately 5 hours as advertised. We learned quite a bit about Panama and are looking forward to learning more in the future! We feel the tour was a good value and we had several photo opportunities throughout the tour.

Lovely tour, but we were missing vital info - Juan was friendly, knowledgeable and accommodating. However, we were not informed that the tour was bi-lingual, with everyone else being Spanish speakers. We felt we didn't get the full picture that the others did. Juan was lovely and tried to make it as equal as possible, not always successfully.

Look at alternatives - The canal part is amazing but if you can find another way to go then do so. The tour started badly in that the pick up was confirmed at my hotel then less than 24hrs ( so couldn’t cancel for a refund) was told that we needed to get a taxi to a pick up location it’s not the money as very cheap but just annoying make it clear when you are booking. The main language was Spanish ( shame that wasn’t made 100% clear when booking) the tour also was disjointed a few people on the tour didn’t now what the next stop was. The canal part was just a drop off and pick up hence a taxi would have done. The remainder of the trip felt like it was just padding out the tour. The actual English guide was pleasant enough but the Spanish guide took over we appreciate we are in a Spanish speaking country but overal not the best experience considering all the other tours we have previously booked

Waste of money - Not worth the money! The guide provided information in Spanish 90 percent of the time. He was talking about politics which made me uncomfortable. He was not engaging, we had to keep on asking questions. The bus was so loud, it was a waste of my time in Panama. Worst tour I’ve been using Viator.
