Great tour. We were blessed to get a private tour with a wonderful guide. Interesting facts about the canal and Old Town as well as allowing us some ability to customize our tour.

We used layover panama for the transfer from PTY to Dreams Playa bonita, the half-day private city/canal tour, for transportation around panama (was more reliable, more reasonable, cleaner than trying for uber--which generally canceled you, or city taxis), and for a boat/beach tour.
I can not say enough good things about Rafael, Saul, and layover panama.
We had a great time, they tailored our tour to what we wanted and our accessibility limitations, and made extra stops along the way if we requested. We learned so much about the city.
I recommend this company to anyone going to panama.

Ed was amazing from beginning to end. He was knowledgeable on the area, kept us interested in the ride to the city, toured with us - showing us all the sites and even bringing us to eat at a local spot. My family, including teenagers, had an awesome time and learned a lot!
