Great Way to See Panama City! - The tour was excellent! Dimos did a great job explaining each stop along the tour and allowing time for pictures and shopping. I also felt safe as a solo traveler. I would definitely recommend this tour to others.

An amazing and reliable guide with fantastic experience - Richard was my host during my layover tour in Panama and he is a really patient, nice and friendly guide! There are so many adjectives that I want to describe him but I just choose three. We first met in the terminal and he waited for me with name tag as the customs took some time to let me through. After that, he provided me water and all the way during the trip which is very considerate as I am just off from a long flight. Then, during the tour, he gave us a brief introduction for each one of the sites, super knowledgeable! He answered all my questions in detail several times and being very patient. The restaurant he recommended also clean, tasty and affordable. He knows what the time limit is and he always try to make us relax and move forward when needed. The flight time is closed by and he tried his best to drop me off at the airport safe and sound. Last but not least, he helped me to take photos whenever I said yes please and I can see him smile with all the people he knows around which will definitely bring your happiness and make you relax in the whole process. Definitely recommend his tour!

Best Tour Ever, MUST DO, Richard was flawless! - Richard is really a professional at what he does. He magically switched between a mostly Spanish speaking group with a few english speakers seamlessly. Richard also gets to know everyone in the group including their name and background and then integrates that into the tour :). This it doesn't feel like some auto recorded voice in the background. Honestly, this was hands down the best tour I have ever done and the price is super reasonable. Thanks to Richard, I might consider doing tours in other countries, I normally avoid these. However, Richard made it feel like more than just a tour, he gave local recommendations, and tips to do after the tour.

Great Way to Get Quick Panama Canal Information - We learned so much about the Panama Canal. It was very interesting. We also got to sight see other sights in Panama City. We were able to do some souvenir shopping as well. Walking the city sites was fast paced and we almost were left behind a few times. It probably didn’t help that the day before we had a very slow tour guide so our pace was off. Great tour and I would recommend!
