Antonio is a great bilingual English/Spanish guide. I was on a quick layover in Panama for 20 hours and his tour worked perfect for me and he was even able to drop me off at the airport for an additional fee after the tour so I could catch my flight. He is very knowledgeable, friendly and you can tell he likes what he does. I would highly recommend him and this tour of the locks/old town.

Tony is a super friendly and outgoing guide who gave us a very enjoyable and interesting tour of Panama City, especially the Panama Canal and the Casco Viejo. I can only recommend the tour to anyone who wants to see and learn a lot in a short time! No mass processing.

I definitely recommend the tour. Tony picked me up from the hotel on time. On the trip to the canal, he told a lot about the city and answered all questions. At the canal itself you have to pay another $ 10 entry - I hadn't known that before, but it's worth it. In the old quarter he showed us a lot out of the car. I would have preferred to get out of the car and walk around more, but of course it was a convenient alternative.
