The trip was excellent and our guide,Christian, was very knowledgeable about the history of Panama and the history of the canal. I highly recommend this trip.

Ella, our tour guide was a fountain of knowledge and eagerly shared with our intimate group of six tourists. She made everyone feel included and we all left as friends. We caught the first ship of the morning at the visitors center and thoroughly enjoyed the IMAX movie on the birth and operation of the canal. Our next stop at Amador Causeway netted an opportunity to film a sloth in a tree along the drive, thanks to our eagle-eyed driver! The final tour of old town and the historical buildings representing centuries of culture was incredible. Ella shared so much history, it was amazing! I have to say, as a female traveling alone, this was to perfect way to enjoy these offerings of the Republic. I give extra stars to being picked up from my hotel and delivered back afterwards. No need to travel to a central meeting place! Be sure you wear comfortable walking shoes and breathable cotton clothing as the old town walking tour is during the noon temps. You’ll love all the photo ops!

Nikita – IrelandMarch 6, 2025 – Verified booking
The day was overall a great experience. We had a small group of 5 persons. Our guide was very knowledgeable. What I liked about this trip was that it offered a hotel pickup, not like other tours that wanted you to meet at a meeting point. So that was an added plus. Great experience. Check them out when you’re in Panama.
