Excellent quick tour of Panama - We were picked up on time by our guide Edwing, who also kept in touch with me via WhatsApp when we landed. He’s a great conversationalist and gave us history lessons about the places we drove by. We walked around the old town, stopped by a sign to take a picture and spend about 2 hrs in the Panama canal and drove by the sky scrappers. We were there on a Sunday so there was no traffic in the city and passing thru immigration to fly back home took about 15 mins.

best layover ever! - Levy gave us a great tour of Panamá City! We saw and learned a lot in a relatively short time, he customized the experience to our interests, and made sure we were back in plenty of time for our flight. This was a wonderful way to spend our layover and left us wanting to return to Panamá City to see more!

Confortable and fun experience - Our tour guide Edwing kept contact with me via WhatsApp and picked and dropped us off on time. As we drove around downtown and bay Panama he explained to us the history. We got to see a couple of boats passed the Panama Canal.

Exceptional Panama Tour Services - Mr. Levy was superrr flexible, understanding, patient and knowledgeable with this tour. He made the best with the short time that we had in Panama and his hospitality was truly appreciated! My mom had difficulty walking and Mr. Levy was so thoughtful in acquiring a wheelchair for her whilst we were at the Canal. He was quick on his feet in modifying the tour to cater for my family needs. Forever grateful for these beautiful memories.

Great overview of Panamá City! - Great time with Edwing touring Panamá City and its most important sites! Highly recommend - we were picked up from the airport and taken right to the Panama Canal in time to see the last ship pass through in the morning. Edwing shared Panama’s history with us as we explored the city.

Excellent Layover Tour with Edwing - Edwing is a wonderful guide! He is very knowledgeable and I enjoyed learning about the history of Panama as we explored Casco Viejo and later drove towards the canal. It was fascinating to see a ship go through the Miraflores Locks. The empeñada in Casco Viejo was the best I’ve ever had and I also enjoyed lunch on the Amador Causeway. Edwing even added a quick stop to search for a sloth since I had never seen one in the wild! Overall it was an amazing experience and I highly recommend requesting Edwing for your tour. There is so much to do and see and I can’t wait to plan my next trip to Panama!

Highly recommend - This was a great tour to be able to see the canal and key places in Panama if you have a longer layover. It was very easy and we felt safe the entire time. Edwin was so knowledgeable and passionate about Panama, which helped us learn a lot.
