    Old and new Panama

    Our guide was just phenomenal! He picked us up right at our ship which made things substantially easier. He knew the best spots to really get an experience of old and new Panama, and the trip to the Panama Canal locks turned out to be significantly better than we thought it would! His English was perfect, he was very easy to understand. He was also considerate of my wife who had a recent surgery and wasn’t very mobile— he would have her rest and he would run get the car for her! Just a great overall experience

    Private tour of Old Panama

    We had a short day in Panama City during our cruise and I contacted Camilo to book a private tour. He was very responsive and we enjoyed a short, but packed, private drive with his team member Joseph. Highly recommend CAB Tours for your sightseeing and transportation needs when in Panama. Reasonable and reliable.

    Response from the operator: Thank you very much for the nice comments. We are very happy that you enjoyed the day

    Our Panama City Tour

    Our tour guide was knowledgeable, personable, and flexible willing to adapt to our particular interests beyond the customary. We took great pictures and had a wonderful lunch. We were so impressed with our tour guide that we immediately booked another the next day.

    Response from the operator: Hello Thank you very much for the nice comments

    Fantastic Panama!

    We always use Camillo as our travel guide when we travel to Panama City. Our Family has been on almost all of his tours, he is always friendly and welcoming to all of us. He was very understanding on our trip in July because of the Delta technical difficulties, getting home to Alabama became a challenge. I had to text him almost every hour that Saturday when Delta changed our departure time hourly. Thank you Camillo for your understanding. He will be my go to guide when we are in Panama.

    Response from the operator: Always a pleasure, thank you very much for the comments

    Panama City Tour: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does Panama City Tour cost?

    +

    Prices start at $60 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 Tour take?

    +

    Plan for about 4.5 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 Panama City Tour worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 66 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 12 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 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 Tour suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 4.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Panama City Tour?

    +

    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 4.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Panama City 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.

    What is included in Panama City Tour?

    +

    Included: Bottled water; and In-vehicle air conditioning. Not included: Gratuities; and Admission fees. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Does Panama City Tour include hotel pickup?

    +

    Yes, pickup is offered for every traveler from 120 listed pickup locations in and around Panama City. Be ready about 15 minutes before the start time. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.

    What languages is Panama City Tour offered in?

    +

    It is offered in English and Spanish. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.

    Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Panama City Tour?

    +

    Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.

    Is Panama City Tour wheelchair or stroller accessible?

    +

    The operator notes: Infants and small children can ride in a pram or stroller; and Specialized infant seats are available. If accessibility is critical, contact the operator after booking to confirm arrangements for your date.

    What happens to Panama City Tour if the weather is bad?
