Panama Canal - Our Guide was so knowledgeable about the country and the history of the canal. I recommend going to the movie prior to see the canal in person.

Old town, Causeway, Bridges, Canal - I had a limited time in Panama and wanted to try and see the sights as quickly as possible. I found this tour on Viator and it checked a lot of boxes for me. Ivan did a great job explaining the different sites and the history of Panama City. We went from Casco Viejo to Amador Causeway where we stopped to see some sloths, looked at the view and took pics at the Panama. Then we went to see the Bridge of Americas. Sadly the Chinese platform that gives good views was demolished and closed for visitors. We then went to downtown Panama City to see all the buildings. Stopped at Marriott and the Spire buildings to take pics. We then worked our way to Panama Canal. Unfortunately, no boats were planned at all during my tour time so instead of paying to see the film and no boats, he took me to a different lock that was free to see at the top and start of Gaten Lake. From here, we cross the Centennial Bridge where we saw a large vessel heading down the canal. Lastly, we went back to Casco Viejo for a walk through the old town where he did a great job alternating indoor and outdoor sights due to the heat. Only recommendation I would have for someone is to do the early trip so you can see boats in the canal. Otherwise it was a great tour. Ivan was very friendly and knowledgeable.

One day - one perfect tour - Perfect tour for our one day stopover in Panama City. Graziano met us at the airport and took us to see highlights of the city with an interesting stroll through the walled city. He was friendly and helpful and allowed us to set the pace. He never rushed us along - we’re seniors - but helped us get to the Canal at peak viewing time. He took us directly to our hotel when we were done. I don’t think we could have had a more knowledgeable and accommodating guide. Five stars isn’t enough!!!

Our first visit to Panama - Expectations exceeded! The truth that we were pleasantly surprised with this experience, was very complete and for the first time visit to Panama is a tour of much benefit and knowledge. Our guide was Marifé, an exceptional person, empathetic, very polite, cheerful, helpful and very willing. His knowledge of Panamanian history, the canal and Panamanian culture is very solid, proving that it is an excellent guide well documented and studied. We hope to return to another experience to continue to know the country and that Marifé is our guide again!!! The best.

A Wonderful Private Panama Tour - Graziano is an amazing tour guide. He is very knowledgeable and was able to answer all our questions. The tour was molded to include all that was described in the booking information in a way that best suited our group. We thoroughly enjoyed our day. I would recommend a tour with Mr. G to anyone.

The highlight is the... - The highlight is the Panama Canal and just an amazing experience to get to see and understand it. Jesus, my guide, was so patient to allow me yo absorb it. It is worthwhile to also get the highlights of the city and to learn a little about the city. I enjoyed my guide, Jesus. He was very knowledgeable and adapted to you. He said each tour is unique and why he likes the private tour because you get to experience it with them.
