Panama City Private Layover Tour

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 and an English-speaking driver from the airport to the return to the airport. Upon landing, a representative will be waiting for you with a sign next to the tourist desk to enjoy the only world capital that has a jungle within its urban limits.

Our first stop is the Panama Canal Visitor Centre, where we will see ships passing through the Miraflores Locks towards Lake Gatun. This 80 km long canal is a significant achievement in modern engineering.

Next, we will visit the Calzada de Amador, a road connecting the capital with four islands: Culebra, Naos, Perico, and Flamenco, providing opportunities for photography.

We will then explore the historic centre of Panama City, a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1997. This includes a one-hour tour of attractions like the ruins of the 18th-century Company of Jesus Convent, the towers of the Santa Maria la Antigua Cathedral, and the neoclassical building of the National Theatre of Panama.

At the end of the five-hour tour, we will return you to Tocumen International Airport.

Important: Layover times

The return trip between the airport and the city center takes 40 minutes. It is essential to be at the airport two hours before your flight departs, so a minimum of seven hours of layover time is recommended to complete this activity.
