Tour description

Bike rental not included:  $20

Explore six historic neighborhoods surrounding the Panama Canal on a 2h45m guided bike tour that dives deep into the political, cultural, and human stories behind one of the world’s modern wonders. 

This isn't an engineering-focused tour—instead, we uncover the complex logistics, housing programs, social unrest, and cultural transformations that shaped the Canal Zone. 

Ride through 15–19 km of local streets while discussing U.S. brands like Coca-Cola and McDonald’s, the architecture of canal-era housing, and how American influence reshaped Panamanian identity. 

An amazing ride through history, power, and resistance.


Tips are not included in the 20$ just the rental,  Guruwalk suggest a minimum Tip of  $10 per person
