Traveler Tips
My advice to future tour people is to park outside of congested and just walking since you will be walking a lot anyway in the old zone.

Highly recommend

Excellent tour. Levy was friendly, professional, and informative. He met us at the airport, tailored the trip around our interests and schedule and had us back to the airport right on time. Not having the stress of worrying about timing and traffic and finding our way around was worth every penny. Highly recommend!
Turn around tour Panamá City
Cynthia_P, Jan 2023
The entire personalized tour gave us an amazing history of Panamá geopolitically and culturally. We so appreciate the informative narrative provided by Edwin throughout the tour. He gave us if walking tour of Old Town including several local museums which are not usually included on large tour groups.
Exceptional Tour!
Gaelle_G, Jan 2023
What a fabulous tour! Rafael was waiting for me at the airport, and we spent a delightful 5 hours exploring highlights of Panama City -- we talked the entire time, and he taught me a ton about Panama's history, politics and social/political dynamics. The highlight was the Panama Canal, which he thoughtfully scheduled so that we would visit while boats/ships were passing through the locks, which we was able to track on an app. I had planned to do the "layover tour" as my one-time visit to Panama, but now I want to come back and explore other parts of the country! Eleven out of 10!
Awesome guide and excellent tour

Guide was awesome, professional and well informed. He created a good personalized experience for us.
Awesome layover tour
Anita_M, Dec 2022
Enrique Levy was a great tour guide, laid back and relaxed but we still learned lots. Gave us a wonderful day in Panama City during a long layover and we had the best time.
Great Lay Over Tour in Panama City with Edwin W.
Tony_C, Dec 2022
When got out of the airport arrival area after immigration/customs very fast but Edwin W. arrived within a few minutes (we had no luggage but needed to go thru a long line for customs after immigration but an official watching the line felt sorry for us I guess and let us out - consider this potential, unnecessary delay!). The immigration lady didn't think it was a good idea for us to leave the airport on a tour although we had plenty of time before next flight to the US (not friendly to tourists coming to spend badly needed money in her country!). Everything was fine. Went through the downtown and to Casco Viejo (or Antiguo) where we had lunch with our guide (my treat) and then to the Canal Zone and Miraflores Locks. The museum at Miraflores is closed for renovations but you still pay the $10/person (Visa/MC OK) to watch the ships go by (pay before getting in line). Per Edwin we needed to get to the Miraflores Locks at 2 pm to have better chance to see ships pass. We saw two large ships and a few catamarans pass. Lots of people (most Panamanians) there watching. Got back to airport 1/2 hr. earlier than expected but was happy to get back a little early. It was very hot. Edwin speaks excellent English which was good for my grandson who has limited Spanish ability. Edwin has lots of knowledge and he shared it with us. Tooks us to stores to get a Panama hat I wanted to buy but that was my request and I got to compare and decide without any pressure. He's also a safe driver and wore a mask (although we didn't). Excellent, clean vehicle. I think you would be very pleased if you end up with Edwin as your driver and guide. The tour is a great activity if you have at least 7 hours lay over in Panama City. This was on a Sunday so maybe you should have 8 hours on a weekday but don't know how bad traffic is on weekdays.
Top Notch Service and Guide…Levy!!!
Paul_K, Dec 2022
First Things First, Our Guide Levy was incredible!!!! He was very knowledgeable and a genuinely nice guy :)
I’m not sure where we got out in the airport so we were able to text him and he came and scooped us up immediately….Amazing!!!!
The thing I liked most was the personalized service. Nothing against your canal but after 30 minutes I’ve seen enough and was ready for the next adventure. He was waiting and ready to get us around town to take some Amazing pictures
Fun Tour of Panama City
Judy_M, Dec 2022
Levy was a great guide. It was just the 2 of us and he went out of his way to answer questions and be sure we had plenty of time to see what we wanted to see. I highly recommend this tour for anyone who has not been to the Canal, especially.
9 hr layover. Our guide...
Dan, Dec 2022
9 hr layover. Our guide Isaac was very knowledgeable and professional. We were able to eat lunch at a restaurant he suggested. Very nice tour!!
Great way to see Panama!!!
elnwashington, Dec 2022
Our guide was extremely patient with us while we navigating getting out of the airport through immigration and customs. We booked the 3:00pm and landed with only carryon luggage at 2:30 so I figured 30 minutes was plenty of time. We did not get out the airport until 3:15. And still there was the GREATEST TOUR GUIDE: EDWIN, who is kind, very knowledgeable and funny. He showed us more of the city than I thought! We had great conversation and stopped for ice cream & coffee! I booked this tour not as a layover but as a tour that would end at our hotel. It’s a great way to learn what you can about the city before you stay for a few days & to be able to see the canal! This is a great tour!!!! And if you get Edwin you are in luck!!!
