About This Tour

A distinctive, open-top classic-car tour through Casco Viejo and Panama City's other highlights, with a private guide-driver. A shorter, novelty-vehicle alternative to the standard city tour — your guide drives a classic open-top Volkswagen Safari through Casco Viejo's colonial streets and past the city's natural landmarks and modern skyline, a relaxed way to see the sights for visitors who'd rather not be on their feet the whole time.

This tour's distinguishing feature is the vehicle itself: an open-top, classic Volkswagen Safari-style car with the doors and roof open to the street as you ride. The Safari is the Mexican name for the Volkswagen Type 181, a rugged, Beetle-based open vehicle that Volkswagen developed after Mexican customers asked for something that could handle rougher ground than a standard Bug — the same model was sold as the 'Thing' in the United States and the 'Trekker' in parts of Europe, with removable doors, a folding windshield, and a canvas roof as its signature features.

Riding through Casco Viejo in an open car is a genuinely different experience from walking its streets on foot: the colonial-era buildings, balconies, and church facades pass by at a relaxed pace with nothing between you and the street, and there's no need to navigate the old town's uneven brick sidewalks yourself.

At two hours, this is the shortest of Voyzo's Panama City private tours, covering the city's natural landmarks and skyline viewpoints along with Casco Viejo rather than going deep into any single site — a quick, memorable way to see the city's highlights for visitors with limited time or anyone who'd simply rather sightsee from the seat of a classic car than on foot.
