VW Safari tour in Panama City with Tomi Tours

THE STORY BEHIND THE FAMOUS GREEN TOMI TOURS CAR

Over time, this classic 1970s Volkswagen has become something of a local icon. Visitors constantly photograph it while driving through the city, and many returning guests specifically ask if the “green car” is available for their tour.

Originally, the vehicle started as a traditional VW Safari before undergoing a complete restoration process. The goal was never simply to rebuild an old car it was to create something that felt unique, nostalgic, and capable of turning a city tour into an experience people would never forget.

The open air design completely transformed the way guests interact with Panama City. Suddenly, rides became more immersive. Instead of watching the city through windows, travelers became part of it.

What’s interesting is how much personality the car developed over time. The green Safari has now carried thousands of visitors through Casco Viejo, Amador Causeway, Avenida Balboa, and hidden corners of Panama most tourists never see.

It has witnessed birthdays, proposals, family vacations, anniversaries, and countless sunset drives.

Today, it’s more than just one of our vehicles. It’s part of the identity of Tomi Tours itself.
