Based on 124 reviewsVerified Return to Panama The services were outstanding! Kat’s tour planned out several day trips for us and picked us up on timeVerified Kats Panama tour Kat is knowledgeable, professional, friendly, accommodating-amazing. She is so friendly. Best tour guide in all of my years of international travelVerified EXCELLENT and WONDERFUL Fantastic host while in Panama. She is exceptionally knowledgeable and accommodating with her time and her hospitality. She not only is able to tell you the touristy things but can give you a view of Panama as a Panamanian. I always felt as though I was the only person she was working for and a part of her family. I would recommend her highly and if I am ever again in Panama, she will be the first person I call.Verified Great Tour Operator Katia took us on the City & Canal tour and also provided airport transportation for us. She is a great tour operator, always on time, and a safe driver. She is very knowledgeable and pleasant to be with. We would highly recommend Kats Tours.Verified I can’t say enough good things My friends and I recently traveled to Panama City for the first time, where we were introduced to Kat. In addition to being very nice and professional, Kat took us throughout the city, explaining the incredible history of the Canal and the people who lived and worked on it. She also took us on a tour of the rainforest, and with her knowledge of the ecosystem of the country, she even followed the sound of a toucan so that we would get our wish of seeing one! If you want a rich experience while in Panama, please connect with Kat- you’ll be glad you did!Verified Best tour guide in Panama I booked with Katia at the recommendation of family in Panama who provided great feedback. Not only did she arrange for pickup and drop offs, provide commentary, and recommend the best things to do - she also went above and beyond to make our short stay in Panama memorable. 1.) I wanted to see toucans in gamboa , and unfortunately did not spot any. Katia drove us nearby a location that frequently has them, listened out for their bird call and low and behold! I got to see the majestic animal! 2.) She helps us to locate the neighborhood in which my grandfather grew up with nothing more than a few markers and landmarks. It was truly special. 3.) Stopped at a local shop to get some fresh fruits and snacks after a long day. I would recommend Katia highly to anyone traveling to Panama City and beyond . She knows the country well, history of the canal and neighborhoods and genuinely loves what she does. 5+++ stars!!! I can’t wait until my next trip as I will be connecting with her for assistance.Verified Absolutely the Best! Katia made our trip to Panama so enjoyable, I couldn't have asked for a better tour guide. We received prompt pick up from the airport and took several day tours with her leading us around. She was super informative about Panama City and her delightful personality made it a joy to be around her. She helped us arrange in-hotel covid tests for our return to the US which was very convenient, and she was a huge help to us when some of our group unexpectedly had to stay one day longer due to illness. I would definitely recommend hiring her for a trip, she exceeded all our expectations.Verified Katia is the best! I arrived alone with my child to meet my husband who was in Panama for work, and Katia made me feel so safe! She was there at the airport as soon as we walked out of Customs. She was so knowledgeable and passionate about her country! She arranged our tour of the Panama Canal, which was wonderful, and she took us to the tour and picked us up from it. The next day, we dropped by another tourist site in the old city, and she was there giving a tour to another group. She was great and was very fairly priced! I would highly recommend!Verified Extraordinary Service Not only does Kats Tours provide in depth and knowledgeable tour services, but if you have a problem, you want the owner, Katia, on your side. When my passport, other IDs, credit and debit cards were stolen, Katia immediately knew what steps to take, facilitated everything, and made it possible for me to make my scheduled flight back to the US the next day. She has contacts throughout the travel industry and used them to help me. Katia also knows Panama thoroughly and will help you plan and enjoy the perfect Panama experience.Verified Panama and beyond Love Katia and her entire staff. Went above and beyond. Beyond reliable. Showed up at airport to get us at 3am even after several flight delays. Sent snacks and waters on long tour days. Was like traveling with family. Truly Katia loves her country and wants everyone who visits to leave feeling the same way. We did!!!

I wholeheartedly recommend Katia (Kats Tours / Kats Private Tours) as your driver. Having a driver who shows up on time and is reliable is a game-changer. Katia is not only a dependable driver but also the owner of her own tour company. She provided us with an informative tour of the old city, recommended an excellent hotel and restaurant near the Adventure Zip Line, and even connected us with a friend who took us on a canoe trip to visit the Embera indigenous tribe. It was an unforgettable experience.

Katia,
Thank you so much for your help in making our trip to Panama one of the best travel experiences we've ever had. Your knowledge of Panama City and your country gave us a better understanding of how hard Panamanians have worked to bring Panama to where it is today. You made us feel like we were traveling with family. We hope to plan another trip to Panama soon. When we do, you will be the first person we call.
Thank you again!

Hi Katia, I hope all is well with you and your family. I just finished the Advisor Survey trip. One thing that wasn't in the survey, but I wanted you to know, is how much we enjoyed our conversation over that 2-hour period. It was professional, but also relaxed. You know what I mean. For me, it made the time fly by. I plan to call you when it's time to renew my driver's license. Maybe even before then. So take care of yourself. Keep in touch.
Gerald Watkins
Hi Katia, thank you so much for showing us how beautiful our country is. Dan, Mandy, Emily, Abby, Bill, and Claire really enjoyed all the places you took us to. When we get together in the summer, we will put all the photos we took into a video and on our flash drives to show our friends. If others are interested in visiting Panama, I will give them your information. We all agree that you are a MAGNIFICENT "Tour Guide". Thank you so much again and may God bless you.

We had a great time and everything was well organized. The bungalows are very, very rustic. More than we expected, but it was very beautiful. 4 days was perfect. So thank you, and we are happy to recommend it to other travelers. Greetings.

Hello Katia, my wife and I had a very pleasant stay in Panama. Thank you very much to you and Miguel for extending a warm and friendly hospitality. Thanks again for sharing Panama with us for a couple of days. Greetings.

We Had a Blast! Since we only had a couple of days in Panama, we arranged for Katia (Kats Tours) to give us a city tour from the moment we were picked up at Tocumen Airport. We didn't waste a single moment. Katia was great and very informative. She even arranged for us to transit the Panama Canal. That's what we were looking for and we found it here. THANK YOU!

We Got Back to San Francisco Just Fine! I didn't feel like we had enough time to sightsee in Panama. It was a wonderful visit, but next time we'll stay longer... there's so much more to see and do! We had an incredibly good time with Alex on the Gatun Locks and Fort San Lorenzo Tour. We received a lot of information and it was a great idea to just take the partial transit of the Panama Canal the day before, as that way we wouldn't be so exhausted. We enjoyed the wildlife watching tour very much. With a bit of luck, I'll try to come back to Panama in time for the celebration of the canal's centennial and the new expansion. I'll come with other members of my family! I will definitely contact you again for all the arrangements and coordination. It was very helpful to coordinate everything with you in advance. Congratulations on your baby and I hope to meet you next time!
Take care and we'll stay in touch! I'll recommend Kats Tours to my friends who are planning to visit Panama! Best regards.

The hotel had arranged private transportation for me from the airport since I don't speak Spanish, I was tired, the airport was super crowded, and it was raining... it was a good idea. It was a good decision to have someone pick me up, and that whoever picked me up (Katia from Kats Tours) spoke perfect English.
So I had the opportunity to ask questions and get a lot of information about the history of the city.
With Katia I booked a tour to visit the Panama Canal. It was very interesting and informative. She learned English in Indianapolis, my hometown... I could talk to her for days.
The Baritoney
Panama Canal Tour. We requested pickup at Tocumen Airport. Just driving through traffic in Panama is an adventure in itself. We left customs and there they were waiting for us... we left immediately. We also organized with them a half-day excursion to the Miraflores Locks and a walk through Panama City with Katia, who did an exceptional job.
Keese
Excellent! If you are interested in taking a nature, historical, or cultural tour, be sure to contact Kats Tours. When I visited Panama, I stayed at Las Clementinas and that's where I met her. She is a wonderful young woman named Katia. She really knows what she is doing and is probably the best guide or travel advisor in the city. See for yourself at www.katstours.com

We will always cherish our visit to the "Incredible City of Panama". Happy holidays to you, your wife and your whole family! I hope to have the opportunity to return (they say there are no two without three), as I still have one left. Congratulations!!!!!!

It was a fascinating trip... We learned a lot from both of them. We recommend Katia and Edvin's services to everyone, they know every corner of Panama! Panama is a wonderful place to visit...
