Guild knew his history, spoke English and Spanish and did his best to answer all questions. Canal experience was great and then 2 trips to Tourist Traps which were of no interest. Old Town was nice.
Luis is a phenomenal guide. His passion for Panama’s history and culture is completely infectious, and his deep knowledge brought both the historic city and the admiration of the Canal to life. He didn't just rattle off facts; he shared fascinating stories and context that you simply won't find in a guidebook. The itinerary was perfectly paced, allowing us to take in the vibrant energy of the city and witness the massive scale of the Canal without ever feeling rushed. Luis was also incredibly attentive, accommodating, and made sure I had a great time. I even had time for plenty of pictures. I definitely recommend this tour if you visit Panama City.

This was an amazing experience. Richard was a wonderful guide. He picked us up promptly from our hotel in a very comfortable van and provided us with water. He did the tour in perfect Spanish and English to accommodate everyone. He was quite thoughtful as he bought our canal tickets in advance so we wouldn’t have to stand in the long line and made sure we were among the first to be there so that we could get the best spot to view the ship passing. What an incredible experience!! The other stops were also a great addition and he even dropped us off at a coffee shop we wanted to visit. Highly recommend!!

Luis Pinto was an excellent guide. Made us feel like family, and gave us a great historical and cultural orientation of the country. Panama Canal visit was great, we got there before the crowds. Highly recommend a tour with Luis.

Picked up right at the mentioned time though it was not from the front of the hotel where it was supposed to be instead couple of blocks away. Panama Canal was interesting but I wish we were able to see more ships, rest of the tour was okay. We got dropped in the causeway to take some pictures and again stopped in Casco Viejo for a little walking tour. Overall not a bad half day activity.
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback, Rajdeep. We're glad you found the Panama Canal interesting and enjoyed visiting the Causeway and Casco Viejo. We appreciate your comments regarding the pickup location and understand how that may have been confusing. Occasionally, traffic restrictions or hotel access limitations require slight adjustments to pickup points, but we always aim to make the process as smooth as possible. As for the ships at the Canal, vessel traffic varies throughout the day and is unfortunately beyond our control. We're happy to hear that, overall, you found the tour to be a worthwhile half-day activity. Thank you for choosing us, and we hope to welcome you back to Panama for an even more memorable experience in the future!
