Great tour! - I don’t know if everyone’s experience will be the same as mine, because everyone doesn’t get Kati as their guide. But she was AMAZING. So very informative, kind, and patient. Not to mention, she takes the best pictures. It was a great day for our group well spent learning about the culture and history of Panama. It was about 4.5 hours. There was lots of walking so wear comfy shoes. I would 1000000% recommend.

Great Tour and Guide - We had an awesome time on our tour of Panama. The trip to the Panama Canal was very informative. It was a wonderful surprise to learn that the film of the Panama Canal was narrated by US actor Morgan Freeman. The tour of Panama and old town was awesome. Our tour guide, Kayiuska, took her time discussing history of Panama and pointed out areas in Old Town that assisted us in our visit the following day. Overall the tour was informative and special thanks to Katiuska for being so accommodating and kind. I highly recommend this tour.

A enjoyable experience with a great guide - This was a great experience for me and my wife. Our guide was Katiuska. She was highly knowledgeable, attentive, and enthusiastic. She gave us a solid education about the history and operation of the Panama Canal. Then she took us on an interesting walking tour of Casco Viejo. We enjoyed the entire experience.

The Best Panamá City and Canal tour - Enjoyed a highly personalized tour today with guide, Katiuska. While on tour I was able to visit many parts of Panamá City, Cinta Costera, Avenida Balboa, Armador Causeway, the Miraflores visitors center. The IMAX movie about the Panamá Canal was excellent. Then visiting Casco Viejo. Katiuska provided a wealth of knowledge about Panamá, the history, local cuisine, culture, indigenous people, wildlife (birds, fish, reptiles, mammals). I was so glad I took this tour during my short 1 day stop over in Panamá. I will definitely be back and highly recommend this tour to anyone planning a visit to Panamá.

Excellent all around - Such an amazing experience. We were in a private group so we were able to be more flexible with times and sites. Katie was our tour guide and was EXCELLENT. She prepped before the tour so we could time the canal at the right time and was over all amazing. Highly recommend
