    Panama Canal is a must see when in Panama City

    Excellent tour of the Panama Canal. Our guide was great and we learned many interesting things about the history of the canal. All in all a good tour other thank the rain when we took a jetty onto the canal.

    Full day of Panama City - old and new

    Martin was our guide and knew all the shortcuts and hidden highlights. We had ample time to walk around and shop in old Panama City. By the way, I NEVER give 5 stars unless Jesus is the tour guide.

    Poor tour operator for day visit to Panama

    Martin, arrived half an hour late in Colon, for no reason. Proposed tour had to be shortened , without prior notice . We paid a high amount for the tour Panama highlights , but visit to Gamboa experience could not be performed . Late arrival at Imax theater , so we decided to go inside theater anyway , but without guidance. Martin also wanted to cancel this visit and take a look at Miguel locks. We refused this and got a shortened visit to Miraflores because of it. It was also not reported that visitor center and museum had not been opened. Then rush visit to old town , with little explanation. In short, I cannot recommend exploretours as a good tour operator for a day visit to Panama. During the long drive out and in Colon no general explanation was given about Panamá . Martin found it more interesting to chat with driver in Spanish

    Response from the operator: Es tut mir sehr leid, dass Sie so empfunden haben, aber Sie waren es, der die Tourdauer von 6 auf 3,5 Stunden verkürzt hat, um alles zu machen, obwohl ich Ihnen gesagt hatte, dass es länger dauern würde. Jeder Kunde hat Recht, solange er sich im Rahmen des Respekts bewegt, aber mit Arroganz und einer schlechten Einstellung kann man keine gute Einigung erzielen. Das Problem wurde gelöst und der Film wurde im IMAX-Kino gezeigt und das lag daran, dass der Reiseleiter mit dem Vorgesetzten gesprochen hatte, nicht daran, dass einer von Ihnen etwas gesagt hatte. Darüber hinaus bekamen Sie einen Rabatt, den Ihnen niemand gewährt hätte, wenn Sie alle Aktivitäten gemacht hätten, die Ihnen bei einer Überfahrt von Ozean zu Ozean angeboten wurden.

    Beware of scammers!!!

    Be careful, they are scammers. I booked and paid for a tour through booking.com. The tour guide wasn't there and so the tour didn't take place. Another person from the company wanted to offer me an additional tour, even though I had booked exactly the same tour. I'm chasing my money from booking.com. Stay away from this agent.

    Response from the operator: Hallo, ich glaube, Sie irren sich. Wir verkaufen keine Touren über Booking.com. Wir haben keine Touren mit ihnen. Wir verkaufen sie über unsere Website: www.xploretourspty.com oder auch auf Viator oder toursbylocals.com. Wenn Sie mir weitere Informationen zu diesem Fall geben, können wir Ihnen helfen.

    Guided Tour of Panama City, Canal and Casco Antiguo

    I normally do not write reviews, but the tour with Martin was amazing. He is knowledgeable, kind and helpful. He took the time at all the stops and even offered to take pictures as I was on a solo tour. I am looking forward going back to Panama and explore more of Panama with Xploretourspty. Charline

    Response from the operator: Thanks !!

    Guided Tour of Panama City, Canal and Casco Antiguo: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Panama City.

    How much does Guided Tour of Panama City, Canal and Casco Antiguo cost?

    +

    Prices start at $110 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Panama City usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Guided Tour of Panama City, Canal and Casco Antiguo take?

    +

    Plan for about 5 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Panama City is not rushed.

    Is Guided Tour of Panama City, Canal and Casco Antiguo worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 53 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4/5 across 10 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Panama City, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Guided Tour of Panama City, Canal and Casco Antiguo?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is Guided Tour of Panama City, Canal and Casco Antiguo suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Guided Tour of Panama City, Canal and Casco Antiguo?

    +

    Around 4 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Panama City can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Panama City and add a light layer if any part of the 5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Guided Tour of Panama City, Canal and Casco Antiguo start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Panama City within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Panama City?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Panama City experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Tour to a waterfall and Embera village with lunch included, Ocean to Ocean Combo: Canal Boat Safari, Agua Clara & Gatun Locks, Half day of Panama city and canal tour: shared and private. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Panama City?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Panama City?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.

    What is included in Guided Tour of Panama City, Canal and Casco Antiguo?

    +

    Included: Private transportation; drink water bottle; and Panamanian Raspado. Not included: Lunch; and Entrance fees. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
