Best Tour in Panama City
My wife and I booked a private tour over the entire canal from coast to coast. It was truly awesome. We were met at the airport gate by Yasu who drove us to the hanger. We had the choice to leave the doors on or leave them off...we chose to leave them off. Quite an experience! We flew the entire length of the canal and back, finishing up with a quick view of the city. We've taken helicopter tours over Hawaii and other destinations, and although not cheap, worth every penny! I highly recommend taking a helicopter tour...you won't be disappointed. Skyride did a wonderful job!!!

Amazing way to see the city
Personalized Service and with very pleasant attention. Amazing experience from the start, from contact with the person and attention at the flight site, flying over the city with amazing views and referencing the well-known places, with a little history and guide everyone.
