Overview of your Panama City tour:
Experience the modern wonder of the Panama Canal — one of the greatest engineering achievements in the world — and enjoy the beauty of the scenic Amador Causeway, where the city meets the sea.
The Causeway offers breathtaking views of the skyline, the Bridge of the Americas, and the Pacific entrance of the Canal. It’s one of my favorite places to relax, enjoy the ocean breeze, and see how Panama’s history and modern spirit come together.
During this experience, we’ll visit the Miraflores Locks, where you’ll watch massive ships being raised and lowered as they cross between oceans—an impressive system that uses gravity to move millions of gallons of water and guide vessels through the Canal .
From the observation decks, you’ll witness this incredible process up close while learning how this masterpiece transformed global trade.
Discover the essence of Panama through its most iconic landmarks—where innovation, nature, and beauty unite.

What a great tour! Adriana was one of the best tour guides we’ve ever had. She was extremely knowledgeable, friendly and accommodating, and her English was impeccable (she’s Panamanian, but went to college in the States). I would recommend Adriana without reservation.
