Know that some of the stops are repeat stops. Super helpful if you miss a stop or tend to get on & off. Good way to see brief highlights of the city.

An affordable and safe way to see the city, most hop off spots I'd not recommend. Wise to Google and check reviews about what's worth stopping for. I strongly recommend a 2 day pass for a little extra cost. Our tour was Panama City.

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.

Great way to check out the city and figure out some things you want to spend more time seeing. I especially enjoyed the input from the tour guide and the driver was clearly skilled.

    The service runs on time and the guides are great, but for those who need to sit in the lower section due to knee problems, THE AIR CONDITIONING ISN'T WORKING (the air conditioning units on both buses have been broken for over two weeks). And Panama isn't exactly known for being cool!

    The guide provides explanations in English only. The buses are in poor condition. I couldn't find a way to check the schedule for the next bus in real time.

    The tour is great, but the vehicles are run-down, and there are only two vehicles for the tours. There are two young guides; the guy is great—he tells stories that really help visitors to Panama. I hope that...
