Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

What travellers are saying
- Chris H2 contributionsI had a blast on this excellent day trip! Pristine water, kayaking, snorkling, sunbathing in a Caribbean dream destination.
It's a long day and it is not luxurious, which makes it an even better adventure. There are some reviews stating that the Guna people, in which territory you are traveling, are not welcoming, but that's not true at all.Written 10 October 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- KatherinNew Port Richey, FL5 contributionsThe trip to the waterfall was a wonderful nature adventure. Learning about the culture of the Embera tribe was interesting ,fun, and interactive. The food was delicious. We got some tribal temporary tattoos and brought some indigenous crafts. Dan was a great tour guide. I highly recommend this excursion for anyone coming to Panama.Written 12 October 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Lakshmi ACalgary, Canada12 contributionsThe trip is value for money covers extensively about the canal history and a bit of city history too. English speaking guides were good. Comfortable pic up and drop off AC shuttles.Written 22 September 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Harry DSuffern, NY1 contributionWe booked this tour for a Friday night and were unsure if night would be a good time to see the city but I’m very glad we did. Our guide, Vania, was amazing and went above and beyond to make sure we had an amazing time and got to see everything. She was so fun to talk to, funny, and knew so much about the city and country’s history. Throughout the tour we learned so much from her while having a good time, getting some recommendations, and getting great pics of us and the city. 10/10 definitely recommend while you’re in Panama City (and ask for Vania!)Written 10 October 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Wes DOttawa, Canada6 contributionsWhat an amazing way to see this engineering wonder of the world!! It is a long day, but well worth it! I was well taken care of the entire day, as the staff are attentive, and our tour guide, Edwin, answered all questions knowledgeably. You will take tons of pictures. Once over, the bus trip back to Panama City goes very quickly. This is a must if you have a whole day available.Written 20 June 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Carol S3 contributionsWe were very fortunate to have Dennis as our guide. He is extremely knowledgeable about the canal and the history of Panama. He was very flexible to provide a tour tailored to our interests. After a fascinating tour at the Miraflores locks, since the timing did not work for us to see a ship go through, he took us to another lock where we could. As we had already been through the old town, he took us on a very interesting and informative drive on the causeway and into the downtown area. He also went out of his way to find us a sloth! We highly recommend Dennis as a guide and thoroughly enjoyed this tour.Written 6 October 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Zoe A.Kingston, Jamaica4 contributionsOrlando was an amazing tour guide. He made sure we had a great time. He knew the vibe and the atmosphere we were going for and made it happen. I organized a family trip with grandparents to grandkids and all ages in between and we all loved it. Highly recommended.Written 26 September 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Florence I1 contributionToday, I have got one of the most unforgettable guided tours in my life! This was a private tour including the old town, the 3 islands, the Panama Canal and many other stops on our way. José, our guide, was an amazing guide! He was very knowledgeable going beyond and above making sure that our needs were addressed. He was very caring ensuring that we always felt safe. Count on him to show you very exceptional places! I definitely recommend him! For your next visit in Panama City ask for José to Panamaroutes!Written 29 September 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Desiree SCharlotte, North Carolina4 contributionsWhat a great day with our tour guide Esteban. Every aspect of this trip was worth it. The people were friendly, the food was great, and the hike at the end was absolutely amazing.Written 6 October 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- TomWarren, PA4 contributionsGreat adventure. Beautiful islands, sand, palm trees, and crystal clear water. The snorkeling was very good, with big beautiful fan corals and schools of vivid blue fish at the first island out at the reef edge. Magical. No bugs while we were there. The roads and facilities were rustic as advertised. The traffic was crazy, so we were glad we did not drive ourselves. The lunch was bigger and better than expected, very filling. One thing that would make it better would be to provide swim fins to those who want them to go deeper, and the tidal currents were pretty strong to swim against at times without them. But overall the tour was a high point of our trip!Written 11 August 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- cherylbrownclncAustin, TX19 contributionsExhilarating day! Large catamaran w/35 ish folks. Sailed to Taboga Island. Met people from around the world. Fabulous slow cooked chicken lunch. Swam all day in 3 areas. Captain & crew were interactive, polite, professional and safe. Loved it so.Written 6 October 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Alfredo P35 contributionsGood Views but not easy to know about schedule when you go to buy the tickets.
Tickets are expensive for tourists.
