On our way to South America we had a full day layover and saw that there were day tours available from the airport. My family was interested in seeing the Panama Canal so we booked a tour, not knowing quite what to expect and admittedly a little nervous because of the connecting flight - what we got was so much more! Our guide Saul, reached out the day before to confirm and picked us up from the airport, he was a wealth of knowledge, so kind, and a wonderful ambassador for his country. He took us around Panama City, drove us out to the islands, and got us to the Panama Canal in perfect time to get the full experience, including seeing a ship pass through. He also told us about a number of indigenous communities that he works with and made us realize that there is so much more to Panama than Panama City. We hope to make it back some day to experience and see all the other things that Panama has to offer and hope that Saul will be our guide then as well. Thank you to Saul and Layover Panama for making this such a special and memorable experience for me and my family!

It is lovely to step off a long flight and have someone inside the airport ready to pick you up. Levy was excellent; the directions were clear on where he would meet us. He communicated by WhatsApp to let us know he was there. He held a sign with our names on it. He was a safe driver and told us a little about the city as we drove. If you want to travel stress-free, then Levy and his team are the folks to call. The price was reasonable and this is 100% better than trying to take a Taxi or Uber. Don't make your arrival more complicated or stressful, ask for Levy he is the best.
