Panama is a fascinating city with many contrasts and a very interesting history. We took the bus tour on 2 consecutive days so we wouldn't miss a thing! We went as a family of 5 and really enjoyed it... Albrook, the route to Flamenco Island, not to mention the Miraflores Locks and everything the guide on Bus 1 told us on September 12, 2026 (I don't remember his name, for which I apologize). Thank you!

The limited amount of buses and the space made the day hard to navigate. When the first bus came it didn't have space for my party of 5 and we had to wait over an hour for another bus. So when you hope off at a stop to explore you have to take into account another bus won't be there for 45 minutes to an hour and 2:45 was the end of the day so it doesn't give you enough time to explore some of the stops. Wasn't what I expected at all and my time in Panama is limited and the earthquake also posed an unexpected end to the tour as we wanted to ensure we made it back to the hotel safely.

It was nice to seed the city. But, the app didn't work at all. Once I waited an hour for a bus. I think the bus that the app said was 24 minutes to arrive, did not come. Then, I stopped to eat at one of the stops. I saw that a bus was arriving in 2 minutes so I paid my bill. It didn't arrive. I walked down to the next stop and wait 30 minutes for the next one.
