Old and new Panama

Our guide was just phenomenal! He picked us up right at our ship which made things substantially easier. He knew the best spots to really get an experience of old and new Panama, and the trip to the Panama Canal locks turned out to be significantly better than we thought it would! His English was perfect, he was very easy to understand. He was also considerate of my wife who had a recent surgery and wasn’t very mobile— he would have her rest and he would run get the car for her! Just a great overall experience

Operator response

Thank you very much for the nice comments. I'm very happy you enjoyed the short time in Panama.

Private tour of Old Panama

We had a short day in Panama City during our cruise and I contacted Camilo to book a private tour. He was very responsive and we enjoyed a short, but packed, private drive with his team member Joseph. Highly recommend CAB Tours for your sightseeing and transportation needs when in Panama. Reasonable and reliable.

Our Panama City Tour

Our tour guide was knowledgeable, personable, and flexible willing to adapt to our particular interests beyond the customary. We took great pictures and had a wonderful lunch. We were so impressed with our tour guide that we immediately booked another the next day.

Fantastic Panama!

We always use Camillo as our travel guide when we travel to Panama City. Our Family has been on almost all of his tours, he is always friendly and welcoming to all of us. He was very understanding on our trip in July because of the Delta technical difficulties, getting home to Alabama became a challenge. I had to text him almost every hour that Saturday when Delta changed our departure time hourly. Thank you Camillo for your understanding. He will be my go to guide when we are in Panama.

Always a pleasure, thank you very much for the comments

The best guide/driver in Panama!

This is your guy. If you go to Panama, you are likely going to need a driver/guide. We have visited 100 countries and had guides and drivers in many of them. Camilo Bermudez is your guy in Panama. We used his services in 2016 and again in 2024. His rates are reasonable, he’s reliable, he speaks English well and he’s just a downright nice guy. Panama is a fun place to visit with lots of things to see. Camilo can make sure that you see whatever it is that might be on your touring agenda. This is his contact info. Phone. +507 6905-2044 Email. Camilobermudez05@gmail.com Instagram and facebook. @cabtoursandtransfers

Excellent tour guide in Panama City

Camilo is the best. Super responsive via email, extremely knowledgeable about all cultural and historical aspects of Panama, an insightful guide to all sorts of stores, markets, cafes, ‘fondas’, restaurants and other attractions. Very personable - you will be fast friends and inviting him to visit your own city by the end of the day. He is also very flexible - despite our efforts to throw him off by changing our timeline and preferred destinations almost constantly, Camilo took it in stride and we had a fantastic experience!!

Operator response

At Ease

We were visiting Boquete, but a friend suggested we spend at least a day in Panama City and recommended Camilo for our tour. He arranged a city tour for our arrival and then a morning birding tour before our flight the next day. Due to unforeseen events in Boquete, we were unable to get to Panama City on time. I called to let Camilo know we would miss our tour but that we needed a ride from the airport into the city. He was so kind and gave us advice on exactly what to do. The next day, we did a modified birding tour with a great guide, arranged by Camilo. Our birding guide dropped us at the Miraflores Locks and Camilo was waiting there for us. Then we did a quick, but fun tour of downtown Panama City, even finding time to have some amazing empanadas in Old Town, before catching our flight back to the States. Camilo turned what could have been a stressful situation into a delightful visit. We will definitely see him again when we bring the rest of the family back to Panama City.

Thanks for the review. We were very happy to be part of your experience in Panama. Until next time
