Definately worthwhile, especially because I only had a couple of days. Only four stars, you ask? In English the tour guides are hard to understand, one verbose and the other minimalist. Also, one bus has sideways seats which give a good view of the other side trying to look past our side, slippery too. Unhappy driver but expected for the country, unfortunately. In summary, do it.

As a tourist i would recomend tour this tour to all visitors. It is safe reliable you can hop off at an attraction wait for the next bus in an hour or so, hop on hop off at another attraction wait for the next bus it was so exciting for me all for just $30.00 , the tour guide was informative, if foreigner visiting panama i would advise them to book the hop and hop off city bus tour.

Despite the inconvenience in the canal, we were able to visit and see the paddle wheels of two ships. All the places we visited were interesting. Excellent explanations from the guides.

Excellent ride and very good tour of the city, although the bus does not have glass on the upper floor and on rainy days it gets complicated.

The information provided by the guide was scarce and of little interest. In addition, due to the carnival, it was not possible to make all the stops. They do not tell you the approximate time when the next bus will arrive; you just have to wait for it.

Fun outing. The young narrator on Bus #1 was great. Much better than the recording on Bus #2.
