We covered so many areas and learned so much about not only the Panama Canal but also the history of Panama.
The bikes are in good condition and the roads are definitely doable. We would totally do this again and recommend this tour to anyone who likes to cycle, learn about culture and history and cover many areas at ones. Jonathan was really nice and gave us tips about other places in Panama as well. 10/10 would recommend.

Panama City cycle ride - an excellent way to see the city & the Bridge of America & Canal
Jonathon was a fantastic guide. He Was very informative. We had Aaron as support who made sure we were safe on our comfortable bikes. Jonathon led us through 6 very differing neighbourhoods including Chorillo where he & Aaron grew up. We then stopped at a fantastic viewing point towards the Bridge of America & saw some very big ships going under the bridge towards or away from the Canal. Time was not an issue. Jonathon wanted to make sure we had the best experience. Highly recommend.

Historic and informative from street level
This is a great bike tour of the Canal Zone in Panama. The guides which we had two , one who guides in the front and the other who stays at the tail this helps to keep you safe in traffic etc. we were a small group as just myself and my wife were the guests. They equip you with a helmet and an ear piece to hear the descriptions and traffic advice from the lead guide. They do a great job with the historic information of the areas you travel through concentrating on the Canal Zone’s history and the people who lived in the areas the architecture and the current situation in each zone. Highly recommend this tour.

The earpieces were great...
The earpieces were great and the guide had so much to tell us! The route was great and busy but not too bad.
Jonathan pointed me towards a restaurant for the evening and with his rec I got a free pisco sour ☺️

Biking out of typical tourist area to Canal zone.
This was a great tour that explored the vast difference between the US developed canal zone and the neighboring local areas. Johnathan was a great guide with a lifetime of experience growing up in the hood. Excellent organization for this tour, highly recommend it!

Best bike tour in the area!!
Wow what a amazing experience. To start the tour I was given a long range ear piece so the whole tour was right in my ear. Without this you will never hear the tour. This tour sees it all, from casco viejo to the bridge of Americas (entry to the canal) and also some local neighborhoods. Our guides are locals that grew up in these neighborhoods and you can feel their passion for the local culture.
The bikes were great. They all had a water bottle holder, shifted good, reliable brakes. Mine even had a handlebar cell phone holder so I could take video and still have 2 hands on the handle bars. The roads in panama city are not always your local park so a few spots require attention. We had a lead guide up front and a clean up rider at the rear to keep us together. With all that I did feel very safe.

Would Highly Recommend
This was one of my absolute favorite tours I took while staying in Panama City. It gives you a chance to see places outside of Casco Viejo and explore other great parts of the area. Bring a zip lock bag for your phone in case of rain ;)
The guide is awesome, great to have conversations with, and provides great perspective on Panama culture and life.

Fascinating Bike Tour
If like me you didn't read the guide books before arriving in Panamá, no problem, just book this tour and Jonathan will tell you what you need to know, and more! I highly recommend this trip to anyone who is comfortable riding a bicycle and wants to explore Panamá City beyond the old town.

Highly recommended
The bike tour with Jonathan and Elena was a very unique experience to see “less touristy” things in Panama City. We went to parts of the city that a tourist would not normally go to. Ths was the first time we had ever tried a bike tour, and the whole thing was well coordinated. We didn’t feel unsafe at all. But we heard a lot about history, how things got to where they are, and why some parts of the city are considered “no-go” zones and how the local community is trying to address that. We also got a unique view of the canal (not the locks, but the canal and the bridge of Americas) which I’m sure we won’t get if we weren’t on this tour. Both guides were fun and open to talk to. Certainly recommend this tour especially if you want to get a more autentic and local view of the country and the city.
