We had an amazing time exploring Panama City! The visit to the Panama Canal was a highlight – watching the ships pass through was a unique experience. The views from Ancon Hill were absolutely breathtaking. Our guide was knowledgeable and made the day fun and informative. Casco Viejo was a delightful blend of history and charm. Highly recommend.

What an incredible day! We started at the Panama Canal, and I can't believe how close we got to the locks. Ancon Hill was such a peaceful retreat in the middle of the city with beautiful wildlife. The Causeway offered some of the best views of the skyline and ocean. Our guide made sure we had a fantastic time from start to finish!

Fantastic tour! Our guide took us through Panama's most iconic spots, starting with the awe-inspiring canal. Ancon hill’s view over the city is simply stunning, and we even spotted a sloth! The old town had so much character with its beautiful architecture. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience.

I had an unforgettable day on this tour! We visited the Panama canal, which was impressive. Ancon Hill is a small hike to the top but it was such a cool spot with a nice view of the city. Casco viejo was like stepping back in time, and our guide shared fascinating stories along the way. This tour is a must for anyone visiting Panama city.
