A day in Panamá City - Very Professional, knowledgeable and friendly tour guide. I do not believe there would be another guide better! He showed us the entirety of the Panama City area and even then some as he stopped the van to show us sloths and native plants on the way. He was wonderful in answering questions and being attentive to our wants and needs such as even suggesting a great place for lunch and photos while on the guide. If you want an amazing introduction to Panama City, I wouldn’t look anywhere else.

panama is the canal - very good experience, I had already done it about 10 years ago, the movie was renovated and excellent in 3 D, the center was renovated and from Playa Blanca it cost us 102 dollars, including tickets to the locks, full lunch, and it is an excursion of the whole day, contemplate that it is from Playa Blanca that you have an hour and a half of travel,

Great way to start our trip! - My family and I decided to kick off our trip to Panama with this tour. Not only did we want to see the Panama Canal, we thought the city tour portion will give us our bearings for future exploring. We booked through Viator. Our tourguide Eric picked us up at our Airbnb in Casco Viejo and brought us to the Canal in an air conditioned van. On the way, Eric gave an overview of the history of the canal. He also sold us tickets to the IMAX movie so that we were able to skip the initial line to get in. The Panama Canal is truly a marval. Witnessing massive ships navigate through the locks, with just a foot of space to spare on each side was spectacular. The experience offered an appreciateion for the canal's role in global trade and it's impact on the regions development - Eric mentioned that the canal itself has over 10,000 employees! After viewing the massive ship navigate throught the locks we went to the IMAX theater to see "A Land Divided, a World United". People often ask if this movie is worth the extra 20$ to see and the answer for me is absolutely! The movie is really well done, narated by Morgan Freeman. Totally go. Before we went to on our walking tour, Eric drove us through the cruise ship port - lots of shops and restaurants. He made a stop at the iconic colorful PANAMA sign and we were lucky enough to see a slot in the wild near the entrance to the Smithsonian reserve. Once the driving tour was complete, we set off on a walking tour through Panama's historic Old Town. We were taken through the cobblestone strees, colonial-era architeture and vibrant busy plazas. We went in an out of old churches. My favorite was the San Jose Church with the golden altar. He took us through “Paseo La Bovedas” - which is really pretty. On one side of this paseo is loads of booths selling crafts, hats, jewlery etc. On the other side is a great view of new Panama with beautiful pink flowers. Every moment of this tour was filled with wonder and discovery. Whether you're a history buff, nature enthusiast, or simply seeking adventure, this excursion offers something for everyone. It's a must-do experience for anyone visiting Panama City.

A fabulous tour with an amazing guide in Panama City. - We had an amazing day in Panama City with our knowledgeable docent, Erick, from the PANAMA YOUR WAY team. The company's website is excellent, with clear, informative, and easy-to-navigate pages. We saved valuable time by ordering our tickets in advance for the Panama Canal Visitor Center on their website. Our group of six friends arrived in Panama City on the Norwegian Bliss. A few days before our arrival, the company reached out to me by email and provided me with our guide's name and telephone number. As Amador Cruise Terminal is currently under construction, we were given detailed instructions on where to meet our guide. Erick was one of the best docents we had during our 15-day cruise. He was energetic and interesting, and we thoroughly enjoyed our day together. Our tour began with a visit to the exciting Panama Canal Visitor Center. We then climbed the beautiful Ancon Hill, which offered breathtaking city views, and visited a small museum that described the life and history of the Black Panamanian People. The Old Town was stunning, with its beautiful restoration. Erick then took us to a unique restaurant that served exceptional Panamanian food. Before returning to our ship, we saw the modern new city with its impressive skyscrapers. Our day together passed like a breeze, and we enjoyed every single moment of it. Thank you, Erick, for creating such fantastic memories. I highly recommend PANAMA YOUR WAY for cruise-ship travelers - it's the best choice for those with limited time on shore.

Great guided Tour - Our guide, Erik was knowledgeable, pleasant and very efficient. The whole process was smooth and effortless. We were picked up at the airport as planned, dropped off at our hotel for the night, and picked up at 7:30 the following morning as planned (actually Erik was waiting for us, when we walked out at 7:20). He was informative, and made sure that we stayed on schedule, as we had a tight window. He then drove us from Panama City to Colon to catch our cruise. Everything, including our agreed upon cost, was as expected. Erik was a gentleman, and the tour was memorable.
