Roberto was really friendly, nice, and informative. Surprisingly it was just me on this tour which I didn't expect. I'm guessing that is the reason I was charged more ($85) instead of the usual ($65) which honestly I think isn't fair for the value of this tour or solo traveler Roberto gave a tour of Panama City and Miraflores locks,. Maybe if I has paid $65 like everyone else I would be inclined to think so. You watch a 45 minute narration about the Panama Canal that included in your ticket, which was interesting, but technically didnt even want to do so technically that's $65 for three ish hours. Roberto was really nice and was open to suggestions of what I wanted to do, but in really how much can you really change the schedule for 3 1/2 hours?? We got lucky and a ship was expected to come through the canal, but I didnt stay to watch the whole thing knowing I paid $85. I wanted to see as much as possible. I think only book this, if like me you only have a few days in Panama City and want to cover a whole lot geographically with someone who knows the area, like where its safe. Value wise, you could probably go on Youtube and watch a video to learn about the history of the canal and save yourself money. Same thing

Kati made this experience super easy, informative, and fun! She is an amazing tour guide and knows the ins and outs of Panama. She made sure the tour was streamlined to avoid the crowds and get the best views. Oh, I can't forget what a great photographer she is too ( I liked every picture she took) getting the perfect angles and lighting. I only wish the tour was longer because even in the few hours spent with Kati, I felt at home. I can not recommend this tour enough!

What we taught was a rainy day, turns out be a great day out with our tour guide, Roberto. He's very knowledgeable and took us to locations we would have probably missed on our own. He took the time to explained at a pace that we wanted and provide an excellent experience - highly recommend

Wow wow wow! Without a doubt the best tour in Panama City. The experience my boyfriend and I had was so enjoyable that we booked another tour for the very next day! (*The second tour we took is not available for booking here, but is always still an option, just give My Friend in Panama a call! *See photos below) NOTABLE FEATURES: ⭐️ Private experience, just you and one other with the tour guide. ⭐️ Watch a ship as it passes through the Panama Canal! ⭐️ A very reasonable for what you can experience in 5 hours. ⭐️ Extensive knowledge provided during clean car travel. ⭐️ Ability to customize the trip as you go. Have a place you’d like to see or stop? Your tour guide will easily accommodate, no problem. ⭐️ Suitable for those who cannot walk long distances. (This is not a walking tour, but there are opportunities to walk and explore on foot if you wish!) ⭐️ A hand always at the ready to take your photos. What a treat. ⭐️ Passionate guides who make it known throughout the tour that they are there for your enjoyment! Best way to describe this tour experience? - You are visiting Panama and a friend from the area picks you up in a clean car for an exciting excursion to explore the most significant locations around. He takes you to see the Panama Canal and nearby spots such as Casco Viejo and the Amador Causeway. Throughout your time exploring these beautiful sites rich with history and importance, you do not feel like a tourist, but rather a friend being given the royal treatment! HIGHLIGHTS, INSIGHTS, TAKEAWAYS 😄 Before booking this tour I was in contact with Roberto. He was attentive and patient from the start and maintained high energy and a smile until the very end! ☀️ We had wonderful weather for the outing, starting early with the Panama Canal tour as the first stop. 🤓 I appreciated how Roberto knew to get to the visitors center at the Canal before 8 so we would be able to view a ship passing through the canal. Another one doesn’t pass until late in the afternoon. 🎟 When we arrived at the Miraflores Visitors Center he was able to purchase our tickets for us (reminder this fee is not included) directly with employees on the visitors center premises, meaning my boyfriend and I didn’t have to wait in the long line with the other tours’ attendees to obtain our tickets for entry. It’s good to know a friend who knows a friend! ⛴ The Panama Canal is something I have never seen before and if you haven’t either, I highly encourage you to visit yourself to see how truly grand of a site it is! The tour provides you with the opportunity for this experience plus even more! Wow. 🎬 Once the ship passes you will make your way inside to view a 3-D film on the Panama Canal. Before entering the IMAX theater, you may purchase movie concessions if you like. I had initially felt as though the film would be a waste of our time. Basing this perspective on past experience of watching less than average informative films which accompanied a sort of tour, exhibit, etc. I was apprehensive. You may feel the same but allow me to reassure you. The film which is narrated by Morgan Freeman turned out to be wonderful. The short production explains the history of the canal’s creation and shows views of the canal which are not able to be seen from the observation deck of the visitors center. By the end I had acquired an appreciation for the inclusion of the film. Note the closing remarks at the end of the film regarding the harmony of natural resources needed for the operation of the canal, which Panama and its residents maintain, and the influence the modern engineering feat holds on the entire world. 📍 The Goethals Monument: a perfect follow up to the Panama Canal portion of the tour, this monument is dedicated to the canal’s chief engineer 📍Amador Causeway: here you can take pictures of the “Panama” sign, enjoy views of the marina, cool off with a fresh fruit pop from the stand inside the causeway park center, and use the facilities if needed 📍Casco Viejo: Panama City historic district, rich with picturesque architecture, enjoy a walk though this romantic setting, shop for souvenirs, or grab a bite for lunch (the flexibility/customization available at each stop is a highlight of this tour) 📍Plaza de la Catedral: considered the town square in Casio Viejo, also known as Independence Square, here you will find the landmark Metropolitan Cathedral Basilica of Santa Maria the Ancient Overall, I was highly impressed with the tour experience, specifically how much was packed into this half day adventure. Everything from the live viewing of the canal at work, a film with spectacular views and narration, the bounty of information provided, multiple stops for site seeing, the photos and videos obtained, and souvenir shopping accomplished, provided a wonderful mix of immersion into the history and culture the country has to offer. 🤝 I now have a friend in Panama.
