Additional Information

Panama is affectionately referred to as the ‘Epicenter of the Earth, Soul of the Cosmos’ by the locals, a title that reflects its historic and strategic significance in global transit and trade, not a matter of pride.
Our journey takes you across the ages, from when Panama served as an important trading center during Spanish colonial times to the present…

Great experience for Panama City and Canal tour! - We had a WONDERFUL experience with Vive Panama tours. We took a private tour (me, my husband and son) to Panama City. It was a full day; they picked us up and dropped us off at the resort. They are a family company and the price they quote is the price you pay. Excellent value and overall fantastic day. Cristian (out tour guide) gave us a good overview of the culture and country's infrastructure while we drove into the city. He kept us on a good schedule but we never felt rushed. If there are things you are particularly interested in, let him know and he can adjust. Our driver, Kristof, was great with navigating the city to avoid potential delays and issues. They recommended great a spot for lunch and a stop on the way home for empanadas! We went to see the canal and the old city, he knows all the cool little stops for any souvenirs (including authentic Panama hats); just a great tour! He is also a fantastic photographer. They do other tours also (monkey island, etc). I highly recommend them; you won't be disappointed!

Great Tour to take - We had a fantastic time with Chris and Stella. They picked us up at the hotel early, and we made our way to Panama City and the Canal. Needless to say, traffic is crazy in Panama. LOL The Panama Canal tour was an eye-opener for us what an amazing feat of engineering and how things work.
