Excellent Guide!!
The experience, in the time that I had available, was excellent. The price when purchased was affordable, it was a mini vacation so I expected to pay a little. My guide, JB, was very knowledgeable on the history, culture, and locations in Panama City. He is very flexible and is able to show you what you would like to see. The meeting point was central in Casco Viejo and easy to locate. In June, not a lot of crowds, but the atmosphere at the time that I visited, was muy tuanis!! I would recommend this tour and if you can request JB. He will contact you 30 days from your tour to ensure everything is solidified and give you his contact information for any questions that you might have, or think of during that 30 days. This tour is best for anyone and everyone. Enjoy the walking, the weather, and great tour.

Fantastic Guide – Informative, Friendly, and Accommodating!
We had such an amazing time on our food tour! Our guide was incredibly knowledgeable and shared so much educational information about the local culture, cuisine, and history — it made the experience even more meaningful. She was also very accommodating with our schedule, which we truly appreciated. Overall, we had a lot of fun and would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting!

No show
We waited outside our hotel for 30 minutes and they never showed up. We were only in Panama for two days and they ruined our entire day. I would not book with this tour company.
Response from the operator: Hi Elana, Thank you for sharing your experience. We’re truly sorry your guide didn’t show up and that this disrupted your limited time in Panama. This is far from the standard we aim to uphold. We’ve contacted you by email to follow up directly. Please accept our sincere apologies, and we hope to have the opportunity to make things right. Warm wishes, Guydeez Team

No show
Guide didn’t show up, and didn’t respond to multiple messages. I confirmed 8 hrs before the start. No answer. Then several attempts upon arriving, no answer. A day later, got a text that they lost their phone. Surely this could have been communicated to the company and to me in a timely manner. First time a Viator trip when awry. Not a bad record, but super annoying never the less.
Response from the operator: Hello Erica, We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience you experienced. It’s unacceptable that the guide failed to show up or respond to your messages, and we completely understand your frustration. At Guydeez, we strive to ensure seamless experiences, and we regret that this was not the case for you. The delay in communication was due to unforeseen circumstances, but we acknowledge that this should have been handled better, with timely updates provided to you. We’ve addressed this internally to prevent similar situations in the future. Thank you for sharing your feedback, and we hope you’ll consider giving us another opportunity to deliver the quality experience you deserve. Warm wishes, Guydeez Team

Panama City : Custom Walking Tour with A Guide (Private Tour): questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Panama City.
How much does Panama City : Custom Walking Tour with A Guide (Private Tour) cost?
+
Prices start at $35 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 Panama City : Custom Walking Tour with A Guide (Private Tour) take?
+
Plan for about 2 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 Panama City : Custom Walking Tour with A Guide (Private Tour) worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 53 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (3.7/5 across 6 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 Panama City : Custom Walking Tour with A Guide (Private Tour)?
+
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 Panama City : Custom Walking Tour with A Guide (Private Tour) suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Panama City : Custom Walking Tour with A Guide (Private Tour)?
+
Around 2 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 2-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Panama City : Custom Walking Tour with A Guide (Private Tour) 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.
