Panamá city to Colon
The coach had adequate space for the 5 passengers. It was a very bumpy ride - not sure if that is because we sat toward the rear of the coach, the suspension of the coach or the road. Driver was kind and assisted with putting luggage on and off the vehicle, though he passed the suitcase through the window which was quite high. I’m glad my husband was there to get it from him. Driver dropped us off without any instructions. The colon cruise port is unlike any other port we’ve visited. It was a little confusing - little signage.

Scary trip to the Cruise Port
Our driver picked us up on time at our hotel in Panama City and drove us to the cruise port in Colon. Initially everything was fine through the tour but once on open roads our driver, Junior, was very aggressive and was driving exceptionally fast. During the trip he was pulled over by the Police and had to pay a speeding fine. Also, on multiple occasions he had to slam on the breaks because he was running up on other drivers in the left lane. One time he hit the breaks so hard that all members of my family on the trip fell out of their seats. I would not recommend ever getting a ride from this driver and by inclusion this company.
Response from the operator: Thank you very much for informing us about this situation, we apologize for this terrible experience and we promise to take action on the matter and investigate and we will take the appropriate measures so that this situation does not happen again, we apologize and thank you for your comment, since this way we can improve our services

Seats very small.
The transfer was on time but the vehicle had a lot to be desired. The seating is two on each side but the seats are not wide enough for two couple. Very uncomfortable. The luggage storage are did not fit all luggage. Some had to brought on to the small bus.
Response from the operator: First of all, thank you very much for the comment, it is very important. Unfortunately, the 29-passenger vehicle, which arrives from the factory, does not come with a large size of seats, nor with a built-in trunk, it is something that is not available in our country, only the 45-passenger buses, but in this case, there were few passengers. . Sorry for the inconvenience

Cruise from Colon, Panama
We used this service because we were going on a cruise from Colon, Panama but started in Panama City. The driver was on time for both going to Colon & returning from Colon. The drive was smooth as it is about an hour but the van itself was a little rickety which is why I give it a 4 star.
Response from the operator: Thank you for choosing our service and for taking the time to leave your opinion, which we greatly value.

On Time, and great value...
Great value for transportation to the cruise port in Colon! Driver was prompt (early). It turned out to be only 3 folks in this trip in an SUV, so felt like a private transfer. The other two were actually taking the same cruise as me.
Response from the operator: Thank you for your opinion, it is very important to us. We are at your service in Panama

Why this scores 53
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Transfer Panama City to Columbus Cruise Port: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Panama City.
How much does Transfer Panama City to Columbus Cruise Port 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 Transfer Panama City to Columbus Cruise Port take?
+
Plan for about 1.5 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 Transfer Panama City to Columbus Cruise Port worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 53 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.3/5 across 23 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 Transfer Panama City to Columbus Cruise Port?
+
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 Transfer Panama City to Columbus Cruise Port suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 1.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Transfer Panama City to Columbus Cruise Port?
+
Around 8 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 1.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Transfer Panama City to Columbus Cruise Port 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, Panama Canal With Entry Ticket & City Tour: Old Town & City Views, Legends of Casco Viejo Tour: Hidden Gems with Panama Vibes Tours. 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.
