Itinerary
This captivating Panama shore excursion commences at the Colón cruise ship port. A warm welcome awaits you from our friendly driver just outside the cruise ship terminal. Step into a comfortable, air-conditioned private vehicle, embarking on a 1-hour journey through the scenic beauty of Panama. Our tours are meticulously synchronized with your ship's docking times, ensuring a prompt start and a timely return to the port with ample time to spare before your ship's departure.
The history of the San Felipe Neri Market dates back much further than you can imagine when looking at the modern building. A few years after the separation of Panama with Colombia, you can see the beginnings of this public market. The market arose in 1914, the same year that the Panama Canal was inaugurated. This market was located on Avenida Norte (today known as Avenida Eloy Alfaro), between 12th and 13th streets east.
Panama City’s Old Chinatown is one of the best places in the historic center of the country’s capital for Chinese food, products and culture.
Named as a tribute to a tiny street in the old city of Panama, Salsipuedes showcases contemporary Panamanian taste with nods to the past and present. Choose from an eclectic menu featuring an authentic blend of cultures, integrating flavours from Panama, Africa, Italy, France, Spain, China, and Peru in unctuous plates that will leave you craving for more.
A small pleasant square named after Tomas Herrera (1804-1854), a Colombian military and political figure. In the evenings there is live music, restaurants and cafes.
La Iglesia de la Merced was built in the early 1600s by Franciscan monks. They transported the church brick-by-brick to the new location (until they ran out of funds) and completed the project with wood. The first mass was offered on the day of Panama City’s inauguration in 1673.
The Basilica of the Archdiocesan Archdiocesan Cathedral of Santa Maria la Antigua is a Catholic church located in the old city of Panama City, Panama. It was consecrated in 1796, although construction work began in 1688, 108 years earlier. It was designed by military engineer Nicolás Rodríguez.
Panama declared independence from Colombia in Plaza de la independencia (Independence Square, also known as Plaza Mayor or Cathedral Plaza) on November 3, 1903. The elegant Central Hotel, Canal Museum and Municipal Palace overlook the square, which is filled with restaurants, shops and artisan stalls.
After the guided tour, relish in 2 hours of free time. Your guide will drop you off at a convenient location, allowing you to savor lunch and indulge in some retail therapy.
After a day filled with delights, our comfortable private vehicle will whisk you back to your ship, brimming with cherished memories.

About Panama City
Panama City is the capital at the Pacific entrance of the Panama Canal, with a colonial old quarter, a glittering skyline and rainforest at its edge.
Panama City sits on the Pacific coast beside the entrance to the Panama Canal, and ships queue in the bay for the passage. The Miraflores Locks, a short drive from the centre, let visitors watch vessels being raised and lowered. Casco Viejo, the old quarter founded in 1673, has restored colonial plazas, churches and balconied houses, and the Amador Causeway runs out into the bay with views back to the skyline.
Top-ranked sights in Panama City: Casco Viejo, Panama Canal, Amador Causeway (Calzada de Amador).
