My wife and I were taken on a remarkably informative and most enlivening tour by the gregarious and knowledgeable Katiuska. First she ushered us through the purchase of tickets, and gave splendid advise about how to get the best pictures of the early morning canal locks, and all at the same time giving informed details about the history of the canal and the culture around it.
After listening to Morgan Freeman's calming account of the complex and amazing history of the building of the canal and the people of Panama, she took us on a tour of Casco Vieja, where she truly showed her brilliant command of English and history--complete with dates about major events, the names of individuals, and tidbits of information (how the preservation of the old city is being undertaken with care and determination). She was thoughtful, kind, patience and extremely friendly. And when we had questions she went out of her way to find answers (this is how we got to see an excellent modern art exhibition at the Museum of Contemporary Art the next day. My wife and I plan to return to Panama with our adult kids and we will certainly plan to use this superb touring company. Kwame Dawes

Roberto was a brilliant tour guide. He was early to pick us up and gave lots of information as we were driving through panama city. We visited the canal, Amador causeway and the old town. Would recommend this tour to people who have just arrived in Panama city or are short of time as you get to see lots.

I enjoyed this visit thanks to the professionalism of the guide Katiuska Mootoo, who has extensive cultural and historical knowledge, which allowed me to make this experience in Panama more enriching. The tour was very organized, punctual, and all the sites of the program were visited. I recommend Katiuska as a guide, as she is very friendly, and is attentive to any concerns of the tourist.

What we taught was a rainy day, turns out be a great day out with our tour guide, Roberto. He's very knowledgeable and took us to locations we would have probably missed on our own. He took the time to explained at a pace that we wanted and provide an excellent experience - highly recommend

We had a great tour of the city with Roberto. He was able to get us in early at the Panama Canal Miraflores locks so that we were in the front to see a huge ship go through the canal.
He drove us around the city, showing us many locations —-he was always there to ensure our safety, and that we enjoyed where we were at! Will book with him again, if we come back to Panama!!!

I'm so glad we booked this tour with Roberto. He was very friendly, knowledgeable and prompt. I felt safe and educated during the entire tour. We visited the Panama Canal, Amador Causeway, and Casco Viejo. He narrated the entire way and always made sure our questions were answered.
I would highly recommend the half-day city tour with Roberto any day!

Absolutely the best way to spend a day in Panama City between flights! Roberto is punctual, thoughtful and willingly shares his inside knowledge so you soon feel like a local instead of a tourist. Transport was top notch too, and cool!
