About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- allexpresstravel0 contributionsUse a Different CompanyWe booked Panamazing for transfers to/from Dreams Resort Playa Bonita and the Locks and City Tour through Apple Vacations. Transfer to resort was outstanding and basically got a great orientation to the city, locks and country. Exceptional driver! Tour of Locks and City. A waste on money. We started with people being late. We left and headed to the Westin to pick up others. Westin passengers were late so we returned BACK to Dreams to pick up the late passengers and finally back to Westin to get the last two. Any late passengers should be required to get to the groups location. Pickup was 7:30 it’s now 8:05am. 19 clients with 4 only understanding Spanish only. Tour was in English and Spanish for the duration. This tour was not well done or executed as expected. It was a minimal highlight tour at best. Rushed from place to place so the tour would end on time. It was great seeing the locks and the IMAX presentation on the locks themselves and country overall. It is a not to be missed place. Because of the passenger delays we arrived as a ship was at the end of the viewing area. The rest was sloppy and rushed. I think you can do this your independently using Uber for a fraction of the cost. We were told Uber Driver are vetted as in the USA and are and reliable. Transfer to the airport was an epic fall and as disorganized as the tour. Our documentation stated pick up time at Dreams was 6AM. We checked out and were ready to depart by 5:40AM in the Lobby. At 6AM I asked a representative there for another pickup where our ride was. After he was unsuccessful for 20 minutes reaching someone within his company he said your pickup is for 6:30, he acknowledged the paperwork said 6AM. We were picked up at 6:40 and added to another transfer to the airport. Private transfer became a group one. We wasted an hour sitting around in the lobby from 5:40-6:40. Again Uber is ready available and a fraction of the cost because I was about to book our own ride for fear of being late to the airport. Don’t use this company in Panamá. There are plenty of others on Viator and Trip Advisor.Written August 13, 2024
- Caribbeantravelqueen0 contributionsPerfect company to handle transportation and tours for large groupsWe hired Panamazing to provide round trip transportation for my group of almost 500 people with different flights to take us to and from the Westin Playa Bonita. Panamazing’s team which was led by Guisella Leon and Valery Herrera demonstrated a high level of professionalism and efficiency in managing my large group. The logistics were complex, but they handled everything seamlessly, ensuring that all travelers were transported safely and on time. Their drivers were courteous, knowledgeable, and attentive, which made the experience pleasant and stress-free for our guests. In addition to their reliable service, Panamazing's ability to adapt to our specific requirements was commendable. They were flexible and responsive, accommodating last-minute changes without hesitation. My group also did several tours with them. This level of customer service and attention to detail truly set them apart. Based on this positive experience, I am confident in recommending Panamazing to any organization in need of high-quality transportation services. They have proven themselves to be a trustworthy and capable partner, and I would not hesitate to work with them again in the future.Written August 8, 2024

- Namaste4me0 contributionsVery professional and informative tourOur tour was originally booked for Saturday but it was pouring rain so they graciously allowed us to change to Sunday and it was perfect! Christopher was so friendly and knowledgeable. We started with a walking tour around Casco Viejo learning about all the history, churches, and best places to eat. Next, he drove us to all the must see spots while telling us all the history of Panama. We had a wonderful day!! I highly recommend Christopher when booking with Panamazing. You won’t be disappointed.Written June 24, 2024
- aliciadS5057KR0 contributionsExcellent for airport/hotel transfersWe used Panamazing for our airport/hotel transfers. Initial communication with them was great - shortly after booking, I received an email from a representative with all of the details. Later, my plans changed and I had to update my airport pickup. I emailed the rep and she responded right away with an updated itinerary/confirmation. The driver was waiting for us at the airport on time as as the rep described. When leaving the hotel to return home, the driver was there to pick us up on time - even a few minutes early! Both drivers were very friendly and the vehicles were newer with air conditioning. (Pan)Amazing customer service!Written April 19, 2024
- AnnaInCayman0 contributionsA fun filled afternoon!We booked the 2:30pm Ziplining Adventure directly through Gamboa Rainforest Reserve. It does not appear that you can book "the day of" but they do have a whatsapp contact on their page that will allow you to directly message them. We got to the resort about 30 minutes prior. From the resort you take a tram up to the lines. Our guides gave a safety briefing both in Spanish and English. There are lockers for your bags but you are advised to not bring your phones or cameras. They will take pics for you and charge 15$ for all photos and videos at the end. Bring mosquito repellent. Each zipline offered a unique perspective, granting us breathtaking views of the canopy below. Amidst the adrenaline-fueled excitement, there were moments of tranquility as well. We paused between ziplines and had the opportunity to absorb the sights and sounds of the rainforest. In total, there are 10 zips to complete. After all that zipping, our appetites led us to the resort's dining area. We had a great lunch at Monkey Bar with absolutely breathtaking views. This tour is excellent. From the expertise of the tour guides to the sheer exhilaration of ziplining through the canopy, every moment was filled with adventure. Would totally recommend!Written April 5, 2024
- 948elysek0 contributionsPanama Canal Tour with Ferndando.We went to the panama canal with Fernando. Even though we got a little deyaled due to holiday traffic that didnt put a rain on our parade. Fernado was still very accomodating and helpful. We saw a ship pass through the canal and made it to see the IMAX show. Fernando bought us lunch and stayed later since we were delayed at first. He had so many fun facts to share about the canel and Panama in general. He was friendly, kind and sooo sweet. A highly recommended guide!Written March 31, 2024

- julic1911220 contributionsExcellent tour companyExcellent company to book tours with! We booked our airport transportation through them. We got held up at immigration because my passport wasn't scanning for some reason and they waited patiently for us. Then we booked the Half day Panama City and canal tour, the Gamboa rainforest and sloth sanctuary tour and the San Blas islands tour. Our tour guide for the Panama City and canal tour was excellent! I think his name was Oliver, but not 100% sure. He knew every single detail of the history of Panama and the canal and answered all of our questions with patience. The Gamboa rainforest/sloth sanctuary tour was amazing and the San Blast islands were magnificent. It's worth getting up at 4am to experience this natural beauty. Only downside was that on the way back, we caught a lot of traffic and ended up getting back to the hotel almost 5hrs after getting picked up from the port, but I'd definitely recommend.Written October 1, 2023

Brought a group of 180 people to Panama City, Panama. Almost everyone went on all the great excursions that Panamazing offers. Not one complaint from anyone at all. Panamazing was our tour guide and arranged everything for us. Maria Urbano and Valeria Ramirez were our main contacts from Panamazing and were excellent. Not only did they know a ton about the country but they are great people in general, it was like having a tour guide who was one of your group but just knew everything. If you are coming to Panama alone or as a big group, please request Maria or Valeria as they will make sure you are taken care of and have a Panamazing time. No pun intended.

We were in Panama for vacation at Hyatt Playa Bonita. Our tour guide Louis was amazing. The man is extremely knowledgeable. There was not a financial or cultural or historical question he could not answer. Were are cultural and history geeks I was impressed. The driver was careful, the tour was amazing. The guides even carefully scooped baby crocodiles for us to see and hold. They have a knack for getting the monkeys on the boat to eat mangoes. We will go on tour with them anytime we travel. WELL DONE!!!!!

Wanted to give a thumbs up to Panamaming Tours for organizing the above tour for us. Mr. Joseph Yanez was my contact person in Panama and he was very helpful and attentive to our needs. He gave us quite a few inputs during our stay in Panama as well. While we missed seeing the exhibition within the Gamboa rainforest due to time constraints at the Skyway, which took longer to load more people due to crowds. the arrangements done by Mr.Joseph was excellent. We definitely Thank him for that and also will recommend others to book through Panamazing. Best wishes.

Company allowed the booking the evening before then cancelled it in the morning, but said I had requested the cancellation (I had not, of course). So I woke up early for nothing and did not get to take the tour. There was no communication with me until later as to why this had occurred. In that brief communication, they simply said the tour was unavailable. Why was it offered and allowed me to book it then?

The staff at Panamazing were fantastic. We met Shevonnie at Dreams Playa Bonita, and she helped my friend and I plan two tours for our 25 person group. She was so patient and very accommodating. The tour guides, Roberto, and Sierra were just wonderful. Very knowledgeable, and we had a great time with them. Joseph was also very kind to us as he helped us arrange a quick tour before our group made our way to the airport. The Panamazing team helped make our trip wonderful

We had next to zero guidance here , except for ten minutes on the boat . Basically we were just driven from one point to the other , no one spoke a word of English , zero explanation of anything . Never ever again . Could have don’t it on our own without having a tour guide tell at us in Spanish to hurry up , after not even understanding a thing we were seeing .

Hi there,
We´re sorry to hear about your experience.
I wish you´d given the feedback while in the hotel so we could know who of the guides you´ve had with you as you haven´t mention the guide´s name here either. I could search for it if I´d know your name also. On the 26th of January we had a huge group in Gamboa with one of the oldest, best and most certainly one of the most talkative (in English also as he grew up in the Canal zone) guides doing the excurcion.
In Gamboa our guides aren´t doing the explinations, but the specialist guides in Gamboa, like on the boat. If they were missing it, I would need to know the date to reclaim this with them.
If you wish to give me more detailed information, please don´t hesitate to email me: aluomanen@panamazing.com
Thank you,
Anu

Sadly, the service and communication by the company was very inconsistent. It started off poorly when the first airport transfer was not there to meet our party and took over an hour to get someone there to provide the transfer and it was still confusing. Remaining transfers were smooth and on time. Communication regarding including tours was inaccurate causing an additional hour delay at the resort.

We were picked up and dropped off at our hotel thus had no need to rent a car. The tour itself had great variety of stops so that we felt we got a great overview of the area. Our driver was very knowledgable about every stop that we made and the lunch stop was delicious.

This tour was worth every single penny. We got picked up on time, in a comfortable air conditioned van. Our tour guide was personable and fun, and taught us a lot on our way to and from the Gamboa rainforest. It made the drive fun! The excursions were great and lunch at the Gamboa Hotel was awesome. Highly recommend this one!

Guide Ricardo was one of the best. However, we were picked 2.5 hours before as the first and dropped 2.5 after as last. Spent hours in pick up and drop. I wish they had 203 small vans or reversed the route while dropping back. Very unfair to us to spend 5 hours.

Hi there seidensam,
We're happy to hear that the guide on your tour got your points.
I wish I would know on what hotel/area you stayed in in order to address this issue. As there's only about 20 minutes difference between the hotels in the City and hotels at the Playa Bonita area. If you want you can email me aluomanen@panamazing.com. It's always our aim to improve the customer experience.

What percentage of the day is in the sun? I’m very sunburnt and wondering if I should cancel my reservation.
Written March 24, 2019
Hi -- Suggest you use sun screen and wear light weight long sleeves, long pants, and a hat. That will be a huge help! You can keep out of the sun for most of the time. The boat for the monkey island tour has a canvas top (sit in the middle). The tram ride is largely in the shade as you are going through the forest. The tower is also trip is the forest, and you will have little direct sun. At sloth rehab center you can avoid most direct sun. Hope this helps!
