Highlight of our trip to Panama
This was the best part of our Panama trip. The tour is fascinating and fun! Hector was a knowledgeable guide and his passion for the history and culture of Panama is evident. I will recommend this to all- this is suitable for all ages and interests- we traveled with our parents in their late 70’s and they loved everything also. Hector’s team does various other tours also and we ended up booking him for the Zona libre- both Hector and his drivers went above and beyond!

Pleasant
The guide was knowledgeable and kind. We did feel rushed as we weren't able to read and look at the artifacts at Panama Viego site and museum.
Operator response
Thanks for your feedback it really helps us a lot. We offer a well-paced and no rush tour, there is enough allocated time to spend in each site and attraction for a greater experience. As a half-day tour of 4 hours, the tour was successfully completed within its time window.
We understand travellers may have a particular interests in a particular attraction / site, that is why we offer guided tours. We do the heavy work by providing all the necessary knowledge and explanation, so travellers don't have to spend extended amount of time reading as if they were on a self-guided tour. We run small group tours to guarantee a greater experience where you will have enough time on each site and enough time to interact with your tour guide.

Great for a walk
Great for a walk around to see all the amazing architecture around. Too bad there was a protest the day of our visit and they closed a lot of streets. But everything I got to see I loved.

Lively & Informative Private Tour
We went on this tour on Nov 24 2019, and We spend around 4 to 5 hours with Hector P. Truly an informative, interactive, and interesting tour of the old areas of Panama city. Hector covered history from the 1600s to present day, and made sure we not only enjoyed ourselves, but left with lasting knowledge (We even got quizzed throughout haha). I highly recommend it for anyone that wants to learn while appreciating Panamenian history.
Operator response
Dear Rodrigo, your feedback means a lot to us, and we are working harder every day to better meet the needs and wants of our special guests and the customers satisfaction to the next level.
Thank you!

We were looking forward to this experience and Yes, our expectations were met and exceeded. Excellent service, clean car, top customer service, free hotel pick-up, and the Top tour guide, we've ever had, Mr. Hector P. We also booked our Round Transfer with this company, they were on time at the Airport to take us to our hotel, and they were at our hotel 30 minutes early to take us to the Airport for our return flight home
