Discover the historic centre of the country's capital with this Panama City Private Layover Tour. In addition, you'll enjoy watching the ships pass through the canal that revolutionized engineering in the 20th century.

Panama City Private Layover Tour

The Panama City layover tour is private and includes transport with an English-speaking driver from the airport pick-up to the transfer back. Upon landing, you will be greeted with a sign at the tourist desk. You will explore the only world capital that has a jungle within its urban limits.

The first stop is the Panama Canal Visitor Centre, where you will observe ships passing through the Miraflores Locks. This 80 km long canal is a significant achievement in engineering.

Next, visit the Calzada de Amador, connecting the capital with four islands: Culebra, Naos, Perico, and Flamenco. This location offers great photo opportunities.

The tour continues in the historic centre of Panama City, a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1997. You will have a one-hour tour of its attractions, including the ruins of the Company of Jesus Convent, Santa Maria la Antigua Cathedral, and the National Theatre of Panama.

After five hours, you will be returned to Tocumen International Airport.

Important: Layover times

The return trip between the airport and the city centre takes 40 minutes. It is essential to be at the airport two hours before your flight departure. A minimum layover time of seven hours is ideal to complete the activity.
