A diverse multicultural city of almost 1.3 million, Panama City offers a lot more than an up-close view of the Canal. Shantytowns slink up alongside shiny high-rise condos. The Old City is an atmospheric labyrinth of churches, plazas and palaces. Fifteen miles from downtown Panama City, Soberania National Park is an excellent destination for hiking and birding. For a fascinating look at the canal, take a taxi or local bus to Miraflores Locks Visitor Center and look down on the traffic below.

This was my 8th Tour with Safe Transportation. Every single on of these tours was amazing! it was pure joy. You can have an incredible experience in each one of the tours. Caesars knowledge is impressive. He knows lots of details around the history of Panama and tells these stories in a very engaging way. At the same time, if you prefer to hear lesser stories and just simply enjoy the moment, then he very respectfully gives you that space too. The tours are organized in a very efficient, effective and well planned way. Each single tour has a fantastic value for money equasion! If you don´t book a tour with Safe Transportation, you will be missing a great opportunity to see sides of Panama that you would normally not see as a tourist! Health and safety protocols are adhered too, at any time! thank you and see you for the next tour, Yvonne from Austria (temporary living in Panama)

We had a great time on this tour. Our guide was Andy and he was terrific. He was very chill and informative. I messed up and we went to the prescribed meeting place even though I had requested hotel pick up, which had Andy going to the business district, waiting around for us and then have to go through traffic again to meet us, but he was gracious, relaxed and cheerful. We went all through Casco Viejo, then through old Panama, which was super interesting. We learned a great deal about the old city and it was beautiful too. Then Andy took us to a wonderful place for lunch out in Amador and the meal and the views were outstanding. I would heartily recommend both the tour and Andy specifically.

Captain Nano was very laid-back and willing to adjust the tour to our desires. He was very knowledgeable and accommodating. We thoroughly enjoyed our time with him. The meal was delicious and he is a very gracious host! Our driver, Daniel, was wonderful! We even managed to catch up with him later in the day and he told us about the local ruins, and even saw him on the drive back to Panama City. We knew if we needed help he was nearby (we drove ourselves to/from three marina)! They are a great company to work with!

We were lucky to have a private tour. John is such a friendly and knowledgeable person/guide. He did not leave any questions we had unanswered, not just about the Panama Canal and nature but also about other Panama topics. He clearly loves this county ???????? He was very punctual when he picked us up at our hotel. We saw ships in the canal 3 kinds of monkeys and many different birds. 2 kinds of Tucans. I would recommend this to everyone!

Omg! I absolutely loved every aspect of the tour; every component/ activity was fun and a learning experience. I was picked up at my hotel, early in the morning, then driven to what I assume is the Charges River port. From there, I took a beautiful ride on a canoe to a stunning waterfall. I spent a decent amount of time there swimming, watching scenery and taking pictures. Then, we went to the Embera village and their introduction was amazing. I watch them dance, spoke to one of the chiefs of the village, ate fresh food, walked around the village, saw how they lived, etc. My guide was extremely friendly and personable throughout the entire trip.
