Panama canal and city tour - We had an amazing time with Dan as our guide. We saw plenty of beautiful places in the city. The canal tour is a must do with the IMax cinema. Dan is an excellent guide who is extremely friendly, knowledgeable, caring and goes over and beyond as a guide, which is very rare to see. If you book any tours with this company Dan is your man for sure. Thank you

Wonderful Day Tour of Panama City with Dan Taylor!! - Dan Taylor did an amazing job providing a tour of Panama City! To see the Panama Canal was an absolute highlight! I had no idea the innovation that went into the creation of the canal. Dan is knowledgeable and articulate about the history around the canal and the surrounding area. We got to see the Panama Canal and Casa Viejo plus ancient church ruins, neighbourhoods, restaurants and shopping areas. We can’t recommend Dan enough. His tour is a great way to see Panama City!!

Awesome visit to Panama Canal & Old City - This tour was just right , experienced an oil tanker and two ferries going thru the canal. The old city tour was great, the guide , Dan knew all the perfect spots for photo ops. We even spotted a sloth on an almond tree. Feeding the fishes while the birds tried to grab the bread before it hits the water was such fun.

Great way to see the canal - Great tour, a lot of walking. Tour guide spent a little too much time telling us about the canal and by the time we got up there, we could not get a spot to view the ship.

Quick peek into an old town. - Great and informative trip. Visit to canal and observing ship movement is a wonderful experience.
I wish we had more time to stay in the old town in the evening.
