Make the most of your layover in Panama with our Private Panama Canal & City Tour, thoughtfully designed to give you a personalized and unforgettable experience. We’ll pick you up directly from Tocumen International Airport (PTY) at the time that best matches your flight arrival, ensuring a seamless and stress-free start to your adventure.

​

Your tour begins at the renowned Miraflores Visitor Center, one of the most iconic spots along the Panama Canal. Here, you can immerse yourself in the fascinating history and engineering marvel of the canal by watching a captivating IMAX film that brings its story to life.

 

Afterwards, you’ll witness firsthand the incredible sight of massive cargo ships as they pass through the canal’s locks, moving slowly through the water right before your eyes. 

​​​​

From there, we’ll journey through the historic former U.S. Canal Zone, a unique area rich in history and culture, and then stop at the picturesque Amador Causeway. This scenic stretch offers breathtaking views of the ocean and the Panama City skyline, making it the perfect spot to snap photos — especially by the famous colorful Panama sign. You’ll also have the opportunity to relax and savor a delicious lunch at one of the local restaurants along the causeway (lunch cost is not included).

​

Continuing the tour, we’ll take a leisurely and panoramic drive along the Cinta Costera, a beautiful coastal road that passes the lively Fish Market, where fresh seafood is traded daily, and offers stunning views of the city’s modern skyline filled with towering skyscrapers.

​

The experience culminates with a guided walking tour of Casco Antiguo, Panama City’s charming and historic district. Here, the narrow cobblestone streets, colonial architecture, and vibrant plazas tell stories of the city’s rich past. This is the perfect place to browse for unique souvenirs, enjoy local cafés, and soak in the atmosphere of one of the most culturally significant neighborhoods in Panama.

​

This private tour can last up to six hours, providing plenty of time to enjoy each location at your own pace. Whether you’re a history buff, a nature lover, or simply looking to make the most of your layover, this journey offers an ideal mix of culture, history, and breathtaking sights — all tailored just for you.

​

Travel comfortably—you can bring your luggage or carry-on, as this is a private tour with more space.

 

This tour is easy to moderate difficulty: it includes light walking and some stairs, but most travelers can participate comfortably.

​

★ Please note that renovations at the Miraflores Visitor Center may affect the visitor experience. Our guide will do their best to time your visit so you can see ships in action.
