Panama City Private Layover Tour

The Panama City layover tour is private, includes transport and an English-speaking driver from the pick-up at the airport to the transfer back to the airport. Upon landing, the driver will be waiting for you next to the tourist desk.

Our first stop will be at the Panama Canal Visitor Centre, to observe the ships passing through the Miraflores Locks. This canal, 80 km long, is a significant engineering achievement.

Next, we'll visit the Calzada de Amador, a road linking the capital with four islands: Culebra, Naos, Perico, and Flamenco. Remember to take photos during this stop.

The tour continues to the historic centre of Panama City, designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1997. This one-hour segment covers major attractions, including the ruins of the 18th-century Company of Jesus Convent, the towers of the Santa Maria la Antigua Cathedral, and the neoclassical National Theatre of Panama.

Finally, after five hours, we'll return you to Tocumen International Airport.
