Full Day Panama History Tour with Private Guide

The tour was set up to visit sites in a chronological order, from the oldest in Panama to the next oldest…. Carlos kept us informed and entertained. We learned a lot about the history, culture, and people of Panama. This tour is well worth the price and time, as Carlos is a superb guide.

Amazing! Gabriel was an amazing guide. There were some potential closures due to a dignitary visit, but he masterfully moved around the schedule to accommodate those and we were still able to see everything possible. He is a kind and knowledgeable tour guide.

I’ve had really mixed experiences with private tours throughout Europe—ranging from just ok to downright awful. But this company was first-rate and my guide Aldo is an 11 on a ten point scale. Knowledgeable, funny, warm, kind, professional, he is the total package. I was extremely lucky to have him show me the city. We had lunch at a local restaurant that served amazing food and, when I mentioned I would love to buy a “real” Panamá hat, we made our way to a tiny hat shop where I was properly fitted with a gorgeous hat and even given a hatbox to carry it home. The arrangements and logistics were superb. So if you want to be assured of a great trip, this is the company- and Aldo is THE guide!

THe tour guide had so much knowledge and gave as an outsider a new perspective on panamanian history. THE views were amazing and we got to see interesting historical places around both of the old cities.Tour guide was very good and answered questions. I can warmly recommend the history tour if you want to know more about panama than just sights.

Aldo was a great guide. Right on time. Very knowledgeable. Flexible. Personable. Has a few contacts in town to make things go smoothly. Has been doing this for a few years so knows all the shortcuts, secret doors and hidden displays. Recommended for those interested in history and culture.

Aldo was a fantastic guide who gave us an excellent tour. He anticipated our needs and his enthusiasm for all things Panamanian was wonderful.

I'm so glad we decided to go with Panama Your Way for our sightseeing tour of Panama City. We had a group of 16 and were able to be on our own private bus. We did a half day (6 hour) tour and our guide was Edwing. He was easy to understand and very knowledgeable. We did a walking tour through Casco Antiguo, which was very interesting. We then went to the Amador Causeway where they had reservations lined up for us at Praia. It was a fun restaurant, perfect for our group. We then went to the Miraflores Locks Visitors Center. Since we had pre-purchased the tickets for this ahead of time through Panama Your Way, we were able to walk right past the long line waiting to get in and went directly to the IMAX theatre to watch the 3D movie, which was a great way to learn about the Panama Canal before our boat trip through the canal the following day. Our group was very pleased with the whole experience. I would highly recommend Panama Your Way if you are interested in a half day tour.

We were a party of 9 friends- seniors - on a stop in Panama prior to boarding a cruise. Raphael was most informative, thorough, considerate of our needs, and went the extra mile to accommodate our needs. That included an ice cream stop in the heat of the day! Though not specifically stated as part of the trip, we also were treated with a surprise (and welcome) drive to Flamenco and other islands.
We all came away feeling the tour represented Panama, its history, culture and people. Thank you, to Raphael and to Trip Advisor!

Tour guide willingness to go out of his way to provide us with a wonderful cultural and historical experience of Panama..
