Overview
Forget the crowded, cookie-cutter bus tours — the Panama Canal Experience with Tomi Tours is unlike anything else in Panama City. Ride in style and nostalgia aboard a fully restored 1974 Volkswagen Kombi, complete with a custom open-top roof for panoramic views, cool breezes, and unbeatable photo ops.
This isn’t just another tour — it’s an adventure through history with personality. You’ll visit the iconic Miraflores Locks, see the majestic Canal Administration Building, and cross the legendary Bridge of the Americas in an open-top classic car — a breathtaking moment with the Pacific on one side and the Canal on the other.
Cruise through the former U.S. Canal Zone, once a restricted military area, now a fascinating blend of tropical nature and history. The whole journey is pure eye candy — every stop offers incredible backdrops for photos and videos, and the Kombi itself is a head-turner that steals the spotlight in every shot. Part history lesson, part joyride & 100% unforgettable.

Miraflores Visitor CenterThe Miraflores Visitor Center is one of the best places in Panama City to witness the incredible workings of the Panama Canal up close. Located at the Miraflores Locks, this modern facility offers travelers a front-row seat to see massive cargo ships being lifted and lowered through the lock system—a fascinating feat of engineering that’s been in operation for over a century. Visitors can watch the lock operations from spacious observation decks, where ships pass just meters away. Timing it right means seeing vessels from all over the world as they navigate the narrow canal chambers. Inside the visitor center, a multi-level museum showcases interactive exhibits on the canal’s history, construction, biodiversity, and global importance. One of the highlights is a short 3D movie narrated by Morgan Freeman, offering a cinematic overview of the canal’s history and impact. There are also scale models, historical artifacts, and information about both the original locks and canal expansion.
