Alan was a very knowledgeable and cool tour guide. He was able to make the tour informative and enjoyable at the same time. He was very pleasant and knew all of the best spots and had a personal experience to speak on about most of those spots. In addition, he was enthusiastic about ensuring my girlfriend and I got photos to have the memories. I would recommend him and Tomi Tours without reservation.

View on TripadvisorWe had such an incredible day with Tomi Tours and our guide, Marlon. From start to finish, he was personable and engaging. Marlon drove us all around Casco Viejo and knew every story behind every corner. The cars are beautiful and the whole experience is unlike anything else in Panama City.

Every vehicle is inspected and maintained to the highest standard. Every driver is trained and certified. Every tour is fully insured. Your safety isn't negotiable. It's guaranteed.
Every car has a name, a history, and a story your guide will tell you. These aren't props. They're the reason people come back.
The ultimate solo adventure. Finished in a bespoke Artist's Sky Blue, this one-of-a-kind ride was discovered here in Panama and subjected to a painstaking, frame-up restoration. It is built for the independent traveler, a bold, artistic expression of freedom, precision-engineered to let you see the city through a different lens.
The vehicle that started it all. Personally sourced by our founder in Costa Rica and brought home to Panama, this classic is our "Emerald Reserve" edition. It captures the lush, tropical energy of the country and remains the heart of our fleet. Fearless, creative, and meticulously restored to world-class standards. It is a true icon.
A true head-turner. As the only open-top Kombi in Panama, this vehicle was hand-selected in Costa Rica and finished with meticulous attention to detail in a vibrant, classic Corsa Rosso.
