This private layover tour in Panama City lasts about 5 to 6 hours and begins with airport pickup. The first stop is a guided walking tour of Casco Antiguo, the historic Old Town, where narrow streets feature colonial buildings, plazas, the Metropolitan Cathedral, and the Presidential Palace. After exploring Old Town for about an hour, the tour continues with a drive along the Cinta Costera, a coastal boulevard with views of the Pacific Ocean and the city’s modern skyscrapers. The route includes a stop at the Panama City Fish Market where fresh seafood is sold. Next, the tour travels to the Amador Causeway, a road built on a breakwater connecting four islands. Here, guests can view the Panama Canal entrance and city skyline, watch for sloths in the trees, visit the exterior of the Biomuseo with its distinctive architecture, and take photos at the Panama sign. The stop lasts about 30 minutes. The final visit is to the Panama Canal Locks, either the Miraflores Visitor Center or Pedro Miguel Locks, depending on the guest’s flight schedule. At Miraflores, guests have about 90 minutes to watch ships passing through the locks from viewing platforms and may see an IMAX film about the canal’s construction. The visitor center is under renovation, so some areas might have limited access. Lunch is not included but can be arranged independently during the tour. The vehicle is air-conditioned and the guide is bilingual. Toll fees are covered, but the canal entrance fee per person is not included.
