This is a private tour and the vehicle used depends on the size of the group that has booked. If it is a small group, it could be a sedan or a small SUV.
You can book this tour to start at different times from 7:00 am to 3:00 pm. The order of the tour depends on the start time of the tour. This is a private tour, so if you prefer to stay more time in one place over another, you can organise this with your guide on the day.
The normal schedule of the tour would be the following:
From the airport you will be brought to the Panama Canal Visitor Centre. Entrance is not included in the price of the tour and the cost is 20 USD for foreigners and 5 USD for residents of Panama. You will normally spend about 1 hour in the visitor centre, where there is a museum, a short video, and a viewing point to see the locks in action, and the ships passing.
After the Canal Visitor Centre, you will be brought to Amador, where you will be able to take photos of the Bridge of Americas, go to the Duty Free Store, see the Bio Museum, and see the amazing Panama City Skyline.
If you would like to have lunch/dinner in a Panamanian Restaurant, the guide can make time for this by spending less time in the other locations, you need to organise this with your guide when you start the tour. The cost of the restaurant is not included in the tour.
You will then be brought to Casco for a walking tour, where you will be given the history of Panama and given the history behind the buildings and amazing architecture.
