Best private tour
One of the best excursions we did on our Panama Canal Cruise. Ruben was the BEST. We really enjoyed his knowledge of Panama City. I would love to come back and just spend a few days here. I highly recommend this tour and it is a great cruise ship excursion without going through all the nonsense of a cruise line excursion.
Response from the operator: Dear Guest, Thank you for your 5-star review! We are delighted this was one of the best excursions of your Panama Canal Cruise. Ruben will be so happy to read your kind words about his knowledge and service. We truly appreciate your high recommendation as a hassle-free private cruise excursion. Hope to welcome you back for a longer stay in Panama City! Warm regards, Ruben & Team

Dwayne is a true Panamanian born in breed. His knowledge and experience of the city and the history was vast and we enjoyed every minute! He even accommodated our request to eat with the locals. Fantastic meal we’ll never forget. I highly recommend Dwayne for your tour guide not only will you leave as a client you’ll have met a new friend in Panama🤩
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your amazing 5-star review - Great Experience in Panama!! Dwayne will be thrilled to read your kind words. He is indeed a true Panamanian, born and bred, and we love that you enjoyed his vast knowledge and experience of the city and its history.

Professional, recommended.
Jose, and Francisco communicated with me before pickup and sent pictures of the pickup area, and the sign with our names on it. He was easy to find after the quarter Mike walk to the port security gate. We were the only two on this wonderful private tour, and Francisco was very knowledgeable. He was such a gentleman, helping me up and down the curbs while walking in the old town area, and making sure I had access to the ramps. He also had us wait in the shade while bringing the vehicle around to pick us up. We enjoyed watching the barge come into the locks, since the visitor center had closed the week before due to an earthquake and possible structural damage. He also made time to take us to the local seafood market, arranging a server to meet us and get some delicious, fresh sea bass ceviche. There was an admission fee of $10 up to the Poiv Tower, which included a drink. On the way back, he was able to drive us to the ship terminal, as we are both handicapped. My husband said this has been the best tour. Thank you, Francisco!
Response from the operator: Thank you for your beautiful review! Jose & Francisco are delighted you enjoyed your private tour. We loved accommodating you both with extra care for accessibility, from Casco Antiguo to the seafood market and ship terminal. We hope to see you again in Panama!

Best cruise ship excursion
This was the BEST cruise ship excursion. Ruben was the greatest. He had a sign sign my name and was waiting when we excited cruise ship port. He was super friendly and knowledgeable. He made sure we had a great experience while in Panama City. We visited Old Town, the Poin (most amazing views), then we went to the locks and watched ships transit the canal. Ruben took us for local Panamanian's food plus he was our photographer and took great photos of our group. I would highly recommend this tour.
Response from the operator: We are glad you enjoyed Old Town, the amazing views from Poin, the Panama Canal locks, and of course the local Panamanian food - and that Ruben could be your photographer for the day! Thank you for your high recommendation. We hope to welcome you back on your next cruise to Panama.

Private City Tour + CANAL + Old Town + Amador + 360° VIEWS: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Panama City.
How much does Private City Tour + CANAL + Old Town + Amador + 360° VIEWS cost?
+
Prices start at $77 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 Private City Tour + CANAL + Old Town + Amador + 360° VIEWS 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 Private City Tour + CANAL + Old Town + Amador + 360° VIEWS worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 85 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 232 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 Private City Tour + CANAL + Old Town + Amador + 360° VIEWS?
+
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 Private City Tour + CANAL + Old Town + Amador + 360° VIEWS 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 Private City Tour + CANAL + Old Town + Amador + 360° VIEWS?
+
Around 81 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 Private City Tour + CANAL + Old Town + Amador + 360° VIEWS 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.
