We had a great day tour with Duane. He knew when to arrive at the stops to avoid crowds, see the movie and ship pass through the locks, and offered to take pictures anytime. Most important to us, communication was perfect. He texted on What’s App to clearly set up meeting at the cruise port, was on time and very personable. His English was excellent and he offered much information and answered all our questions. We recommend him 100%, and would tour with him if ever in Panama again.

JC was amazing he was knowledgeable of Panama and was able to answer most questions we had about Panama or the food in general. The canal and the movie was great to see as well. Enrique the driver was amazing upon pick up and we stayed in the city instead of our origin and that was no problem.

This was a spectacular tour with a guide who knew the area and tailored the trip just for us. Timing is everything when it comes to to seeing a large ship navigate the canal and our guide knew exactly when to be there. The city tour was also impressive. Highly recommended.

I had a few hours to check out the Panama Canal and a bit of the city and my tour guide Juan Carlos was the best to help me see it all in a short time! He was very informative and helpful throughout. Would highly recommend him. Our driver, Enrique, was also excellent, navigating the sometimes heavy traffic with ease.

Carlos, our guide, did a great job getting us around and explaining things. Remember to dress for the hot and humid weather in Panama.
