Discover Panama City: A Modern Metropolis with Historic Charm

Panama City, the nation's capital, is a fascinating juxtaposition of the old and new. The city's skyline boasts towering skyscrapers, yet at its heart lies Casco Viejo, a UNESCO World Heritage site. Wander through its quaint cobblestone streets where colonial architecture tells tales of bygone eras. Engaging in Panama private tours here allows you to delve deeper into the local history, with expert guides sharing insights into Panama's significant colonial past.

Don't miss the Panama Canal, an engineering marvel that transforms journeys across oceans. Witnessing ships glide smoothly through its locks is an unforgettable experience. Private experiences in Panama often include exclusive access to certain canal areas, offering a unique perspective on this iconic waterway.

Cultural Encounters and Local Experiences

Panama is a tapestry of cultures, each contributing to the nation's vibrant identity. From indigenous Emberá villages to the Afro-Antillean influences in Colón, the country is rich in cultural diversity. Many Panama travel packages incorporate authentic cultural experiences, such as traditional dance performances or culinary tours where you can savour local delicacies like ceviche and rondon.

Art enthusiasts will delight in Panama’s burgeoning creative scene. The Biomuseo, designed by famed architect Frank Gehry, is a colourful homage to Panama's natural history and biodiversity. Meanwhile, galleries across the city showcase local talent, from vibrant folk art to contemporary installations.

Natural Wonders: From Rainforests to Beaches

For nature lovers, Panama is a paradise. Its lush rainforests are teeming with wildlife, including capuchin monkeys and exotic birds. Guided hikes through the renowned Parque Nacional Soberanía offer the chance to see these creatures up close while learning about the importance of conservation efforts.

The country's coastline is equally alluring. On the Pacific side, the Pearl Islands boast pristine beaches and clear waters perfect for snorkelling and diving. Over in Bocas del Toro, laid-back vibes reign supreme, with ample opportunities for kayaking, surfing, or simply unwinding by the sea.

Adventures Off the Beaten Path

While Panama City and its surrounds are popular spots, venturing off the beaten path unveils hidden gems. The Azuero Peninsula is known for its traditional festivals and artisanal crafts, offering a glimpse into Panama’s cultural heritage away from the usual tourist trails. Meanwhile, the volcanic highlands of Boquete promise outdoor adventures including zip-lining, white-water rafting, and birdwatching amidst the cloud forests.

Tailored Panama travel packages can effortlessly combine city liveliness with remote escapades, ensuring you experience the best of what the country has to offer without the hassle of planning every detail.

Plan Your Perfect Private Tour

Choosing to explore Panama through private tours not only allows for a more personalized experience but also ensures you travel at your own pace. Whether you wish to indulge in luxury accommodations, engage with locals in immersive experiences, or embark on eco-friendly tours, private experiences in Panama cater to your specific interests and needs.

The country's extensive travel infrastructure supports a wide range of Panama travel packages, ideal for solo adventurers, romantic getaways, or family vacations. Whatever your travel style, Panama promises an adventure that resonates with your spirit, leaving you with memories that will last a lifetime.

So, why wait? Embark on a journey to explore Panama’s myriad of wonders, each as enchanting as the last. Whether it’s the thrill of discovery or the allure of relaxation, Panama is ready to welcome you with open arms.

Many assume Panama is just about the canal. In reality, it’s also a paradise for beaches, highlands, and indigenous culture — from Caribbean islands like the San Blas to the coffee region of Boquete.

Globetrotters should ensure they visit Isla Coiba, a UNESCO World Heritage site. Once a penal colony, today it’s one of the best diving and snorkeling spots in the Americas, often compared to the Galápagos for its marine biodiversity.

Brigitta Fuller is Amazing! She was my group coordinator. She understood the assignment and all the nuances I was trying to achieve. The itinerary she curated was fantastic. If you want someone who truly cares about her group and what they are trying to achieve. I will always reach out to Brigitta first for Europe groups. Kathryn Walker

My clients had a wonderful time on their trip to Easter Island. They were very pleased with the Hare Nua Hotel Boutique and especially noted the warmth and hospitality of the hotel staff as well as their excellent breakfasts. Jaime Vargas-Hendandez was an exceptionally gracious and knowledgeable agent, who went out of his way to ensure that my clients had the best possible experience. I will definitely contact him for future bookings and will recommend him to my colleagues.Alethea Kardas

We were just back from an ambitious 42-day grand circle through seven of the ASEAN countries! An itinerary gestating over a period of time, carefully planned and pore over intently all the way through proved satisfying as expected, but the amazing "embarras de richesse" in six weeks such as we've never experienced before truly went beyond our imagination, both in terms of scenery and culture! The vast majority of the local teams who work with Goway provided impressive service throughout our stay, and quite a number of the guides and drivers deserve to be called cream of the crop in their line of work. But ultimately, we owe our destination specialist Taryn a profound gratitude for her insight and for her coordination efforts which made all this possible. When our debit card was not retrievable in an airport ATM Taryn again went out of her way to approve a small loan through transfer to our local guide's bank account, who then withdrew cash from an ATM while we simply paid Goway Travel by credit card through an online payment link. This helped us tremendously through that difficult moment. We will always treasure this kindness on her part.Yuan Lin

We did a 19 day NZ Rail and Cruise Discovery Tour and then a 12 day Australian tour put together by out specialized travel operator Joanne Palanuik. New Zealand- ABT Tours ran the actual tour and did a fabulous job. The Guide Sharon was great and worked very hard coordinating 32 people. Mostly all Australians and we has so much fun with them! Our driver Chris (a retired policeman) was especially great- he knew so many interesting things about NZ and shared them while driving throughout the trip. We loved him! So many highlights...overnight on a ship in the Milford Sound...cable car to a nature reserve then a Gold Class train ride back...Queenstown adventures..excellent meals along the way...all drivers and transfers were excellent too. Oceana Tours in Melbourne were great as well. A morning city tour and afternoon tour were wonderful. Then the next day to Philips Island for the Penguin moonlit march was sooo special. And the Ocean road cruise too!! Sydney was gorgeous...Bondi Beach...Barrier Reef...Ayers Rock (Uluru) Both Australians and New Zealanders were so helpful and friendly... In short I wish I could do it all over again..highly recommend. Every day was a new adventure :) Kathleen Reardon customer

Katie was a dream to work with. We made many changes to the standard itinerary to customize our trip and she never missed a beat. Her responsiveness and humor made working together a joy and her most common response to our very packed activities was, “can I help with that?” Hotels, car rental all went smoothly and were very much to our liking. The super long flights were laid out to minimize travel time and maximize comfort. Katie and GoWay made this dream trip happen. Faye

Its all about the journey, isn't it? And our journey through Kenya, Africa was amazing and we have Bijal Kana of Goway Travel to thank for it. From the start when we first discussed a true Safari adventure, Bijal was being helpful. Her suggestions were helpful in where to go and how we could save a few dollars when possible. Never trying to be cheap but simply, cost conscious. This was the beginning of what will continue as a forever working relationship in travel. Bijal gained our confidence and trust. And that is a rare commodity these days. Then too there was the staff from Goway and Sense of Africa like Ruth, Wilson and Francis who allowed us to see the non tourist side of Nairobi and became fast friends. The wonderful selections made by Bijal as to where we would stay and all the Serena locations were marvelous. And at the last minute, when a bridge got washed out and we could not get to the last lodge camp, Bijal responded to our whatsapp call immediately and we were placed in the Sorova lodge. True not the same, but in the middle of a game area, who complains? It was great and we had so much fun. The tour selection took us through parks, reserves and conservancy locales. We saw the big 5 and much more. Lions fighting, Hyenas making a chase and ultimate dinner selection, A leopard resting on tree branches, A cheetah stalking and then at rest. Hyena pups and Honbeast babes being birthed. Hippopotamus in the water, Zebra grazing, Elephants crossing rivers en mass. You'd think we hit the National Geographic channel. Great job Bijal. Good deal Goway.customerBram L. Bottfeld

Goway Travel helped us set up a Venice to Athens cruise on Viking and it was fantastic! Our agent (Kimberly) was responsive to all our questions and helpful navigating all the options for excursions, etc. She also gave us a cruise credit we could use while on the ship to help pay for extras. Overall great experience would use Goway again.Stanley

For the past four years, we have travelled to Perth, Australia to visit family. As part of our travels to Perth, we have had stays in Sydney, Brisbane and Auckland. This year, as part of our trip, we are staying in Melbourne and Adelaide. Each year, we have contacted Joanne at Goway to arrange our trip. She has booked all our flights and accommodations. She has been a wonderful source of travel locations within Australia and New Zealand. Joanne has always been very helpful. She checks on the best flights, give us ideas on airplane seat selection and locates great places to stay. She also provides ideas about what we might want to see or do at each location. Every time we contact her she is willing to provide information and answers any questions we may have. She listens to our requests, explains reasons for her suggestions, and answers any concerns we have with patience and understanding. We are so fortunate to have such a helpful, friendly individual as our travel advisor!Bob and Sue
