Panama Canal Tour with Orlando

This is one of the best tours my group has had, and we have done quite a few. Orlando is the epitome of true Customer Service; from the initial conversation to dropping us off back at our hotel. Orlando has a wealth of knowledge, and he imparted it so well. Each of us has left learning something new. Thank you Orlando; you put the EXTRA into EXTRA ordinary). I will definitely be recommending you..

The excursion around...

The excursion around Panama was very exxiting. The driver took hus time and explained the city and places. He was also able to provide more information than expected. I would encourage anyone going to Panama City to take this excursion.

Gabriel is Panama!

What a wonderful afternoon we had with our close friends touring the Miraflores locks, the Amador Causeway and old town at Casco Viejo. Our tour guide, Gabriel Morales, was the consummate professional offering patience for traffic challenges while guiding us efficiently to the highlights of the day. We highly recommend him for your Panama City tours. Thank you again Gabriel!

Siblings Getaway

Orlando is very knowledgeable and patient. We're all seniors with some disabilities. He was very accommodating and showed what we were interested in. I wish we had him in every Port. Very pleasant. We covered everything on the tour plus we made some extra stops that we requested. I highly recommend him and his company
