Our tour guide Santiago gave us a great local’s view of Panama City. We started at Casco viejo and got to see the ancient part of the city, and then went to the Anador Causeway and saw Some more, When leaving at the end he gave advice on where to have awesome coffee, abs how to negotiate with taxi drivers for our ride home! Recommend a tour like this early on your trip to get a feel for the area!

Santiago was awesome young man to talk to and learn all about the city. He was very specific with dates and information, which made him all the more enjoyable. He asked me where a d what I wanted in my tour and proceeded to accomplish just that goal. Santiago was pleasant and witty. He also offered recommendations to different locales to visit and explore for the rest of rhe time I will be here. I highly recommend Santiago to anyone who wants an authentic tour and a wealth of knowledge on how to navigate Panama! I will do it again when I return just to send another few hours in a different part of the city with his expertise.

The guide during the tour is a local person, but not professional guide, so don’t expect typical factual detail insights. The tour is great to look at Panama through the eyes of the locals. We were assisted by Santiago, who is a class act guy. He gave us interesting insights into the history and the current developments of Panama. We were moving from place to place by Uber what was effective, fast and cheap mean of communication across the city. We would like to thank Santiago for taking care about us. His English was great. It was a pleasure to spend time with this young gentleman.
