Great experience - Gabriel was a fantastic tour leader who explained things well & ensured we went to all the places important to see. Because of his local knowledge, he ensured that we were front of queue or seated in best seats. Gabriel was helpful & anything we asked for he obliged.
Thank you Gabriel!

Kind and patient tour guide! - Gabriel was very friendly and made sure we got to see everything. He was also patient when I wanted to go back to get another photo at the Panama Canal even though it meant waiting in line. I was worried it was taking time away from other parts of the tour but he made sure we didn’t miss anything. He even saved our place in line for the movie at the canal so we could spend a bit more time watching a ship pass through the canal. Even after the tour he messaged me with additional restaurant recommendations.

Day 1 in Panama City - The entire trip was amazing. Jose did an outstanding job explaining the different sites along the route to our first stop Old Town. Historic spot with all it's history. Jose provided us excellent overview. Then the most amazing part of trip was, the Panama Canal. That was very impressive tour an IMAX movie. Great experience, made my day.
