Luis was our tour guide and he was very knowledgeable. We thoroughly enjoyed our time with him. He listened to what we were interested in and showed us that. Also gave great recommendations for places to eat.

Can't go wrong with a private tour with Luis!

We did a private tour with Luis for a half day. He goes out of his way to accommodate his clients. He met us at our hotel on the first day and immediately reviewed basic, safety, nice restaurants, and bar districts. He moves at a comfortable pace and helped lay out the basics.

Excellent tour!

Luis was a wonderful tour guide who recommended to me by my Panamanian cousins - so the local seal of approval was great. Picked us up on time. Knew his history and facts very well. Tour included the canal, the Amador Causeway, Casco Viejo, Ancor Hill, the food market. He gave us good ideas for nightlife and restaurant suggestions. Tour was nearly six hours long. Highly recommend.
