Panama City brings you a unique experience of witnessing history mixed with modern influence across the city’s landscape, and hop-on hop-off bus tours are the best way to visit all the iconic landmarks. With frequent stops, live commentary in both English and Spanish, and easy access to all the sights, this is the most convenient and hassle-free way to explore the city, especially if you’re only there for a short trip!

Choosing the right Panama bus tour pass

Both the Panama hop-on hop-off tour passes let you explore the city’s Red Route conveniently, but the right pass for you depends on the duration of your stay and how long you wish to spend at each attraction. 

• 24-hour pass: The 24-hour is perfect for those who want to see the top sights within a short time span.
• 48-hour pass: Ideal for those who want more flexibility in their exploration and want to visit the attractions and surrounding neighborhoods more leisurely. 

Both passes can be redeemed for 12 months after the date of purchase. The ticket can be used to access unlimited rides for the validity of the tour’s time period once you’ve started the tour.

Tips to get the best experience with your Panama hop-on hop-off bus tour ticket

• Complete a full loop first: Complete a full circuit of the bus tour first to get a better idea of the areas you want to explore to help you plan your itinerary better.
• Prioritize sections: The Red route is quite extensive and covers a lot of different areas, and a great way to make the most of your experience is to prioritize the attractions and areas you want to explore first to help you manage your time more effectively.
• Wear comfortable footwear: It’s an entire day of exploration, so wear footwear that you can walk miles in!
• Carry a small bag of essentials: Carry a small bag with water, sunscreen, sunglasses, a hat, your wallet, keys, and other travel essentials.
• Pay attention to the onboard guide: The live commentary in English and Spanish offers a lot of insight into the city’s neighborhoods and its history that you wouldn’t normally get, so pay attention, because it can get quite interesting.
• Keep the opening and closing times of attractions in mind: Attractions have different opening and closing times so keep that in mind when you’re planning your routes.
