Perfect layover tour! We had a layover in Panama so figured we should make the most of it and it was absolutely worth it! Our guides name is Aldo and he had so much history and knowledge to offer on all the sites we were scheduled to see. There was so much to see that we’ll probably go back! Thank you.

We had an 8-hour layover in Panama between flights, so we booked a private tour with myself, my husband, and our 7-year-old son to see some sights. We got to see the Panama visitors centre with the colourful Panama sign, historical sights in the city, and the canal. The only downside is that we wanted our tour to last longer! Thank you so much!

Above & Beyond. My family were fortunate enough to have a long layover in Panama City. I contacted Panama Your Way only a few days before requesting some information about a custom tour given our incredibly short timeframe. Danny was incredibly responsive, and within a few hours, had an itinerary together that met our needs. Thank you.

Fequent questions about this tour
-
Q: Where do I meet my driver?
A:For airport pickups, our drivers will meet you at the arrival hall after you clear customs and exit the secured area. Your driver will be holding a sign with the name that appears on your booking confirmation.
-
Q: If my flight is delayed, will the driver wait for me?
A:Yes! He will not leave without you. As best as we can, we try to monitor all flights and make sure that your driver is there when you arrive.
-
Q: What happens if my flight is cancelled or rescheduled?
A:Please notify us ASAP. We will do our best to schedule a new driver for the time your rescheduled flight arrives (subject to availability) and based on our cancellation policy.

Q: What if my flight landed much earlier than anticipated?
A:Tracking flights arriving earlier is much more difficult as fight trackers usually update the arrival time after the flight has landed. On rare occasions that your flight would arrive more than 30 minutes ahead of it’s scheduled time and you can’t find your driver, please wait as he is most certainly on his way.
