FAQ

How many hours do I need between flights to do this tour?

The tour itself runs up to 5 hours, airport to airport. We generally recommend at least 7–8 hours total between flights once you account for immigration, customs, and check-in — tell us your specific flight times and we’ll confirm it fits.

Do I need a visa to leave the airport in Panama?

Visa requirements depend on your nationality and how you’re connecting — check with your airline or Panama’s immigration authority before booking, since we can’t confirm this for you.

Is this the same tour as the regular Panama City & Canal Tour?

It covers the same landmarks — the Panama Canal, Casco Antiguo, Balboa Avenue — but this version starts and ends at Tocumen Airport instead of a hotel, and runs specifically for stopover and connecting passengers.
