Unbeknownst to me, I had already done this tour before! Anthony was incredibly flexible and accommodating, adjusting the itinerary to ensure I still had a new and enjoyable experience exploring Panama City. His professionalism and easygoing nature truly made the day memorable.

A True Panamanian Experience

Anthony from Panama Master Tour was such a treat to be around. Extremely professional, friendly, highly educated on Panama and it's history. Did I mean he was bilingual he speaks both Spanish and English so although we knew very little Spanish we were in good hands. His tours are very affordable. I would 100% recommend Panama Master Tour.

Climb and fall in love with Panama

Anthony Da Silva is an excellent guide, very knowledgeable and polite of the sites we visited, from the presence and transport everything was very good, we knew the canal in the locks of Miraflores, visited the town center, some churches and the main square, went to market and even made a short stopover to eat, excellent experience to know Panama in a blink.

Lovely tour.

Wonderful places, touring the city with Anthony's guide was certainly an excellent experience. Informed about the history of each place in such a pleasant and friendly way. Have the confidence that it takes you to good places to find the best memory. And always attentive to the time to be at the airport. It is certainly a recommended tour.

Amazing Tour in Panama

Our guide was incredible and super knowledgeable about Panama. We checked out the historic center, the new city, and even watched a ship pass through the Panama Canal. We had a few hours between flights and managed to squeeze in all this.

Awesome tour for people with just a few hours available for sightseeing

Anthony (our guide) is very friendly and fun to talk to. He picked us up on time at the airport. The vehicle was very clean, and he had the a / c on. He was very detailed on his explanation of history, culture, architecture, economy, government, places, and foods. He was very conscious and accommodating of our time constraints. He made sure we did the most within the time we had available. He brought us back to the airport on time. This was a wonderful experience, we enjoyed the sights and the food at the place Anthony recommended, and I will forever hold a beautiful memory of the time spent in Panamá City. I highly recommend this tour to anyone wanting to enjoy the main sights of Panamá City within a short time of at least 3 to 4 hours to spend sightseeing.

Just take a cab

Totally useless waste of time. We wish we had just taken a cab and spent four hours at the airport. It was pouring rain and they took a walking tour. It was really nothing interesting to see anyway.

Operator response

W e are sorry to see your review, especially since you did not take the tour with us. As you may remember, we asked you about the reason for your cancellation, and you mentioned that the cruise offered you a free tour. Our service is private and personalized, offering a different experience from group tours. We would greatly appreciate it if you could reconsider and remove your comment, as it affects the image of our service, which we work very hard to maintain at the highest standards of quality and customer satisfaction. We would have loved the opportunity to serve you and show you the difference of a private tour. If you ever visit us in the future, we would be happy to welcome you
