Rafael and Roberto did a great job coordinating. They were on time to pick me up at my hotel and dropped me off around the time. They said they would about five hours later. Roberto knew so much about what he showed us. My favorite part was old town Panama City at the end of the tour although the Miraflores canal locks were also very cool. They made sure to get us there early so that we were able to see a ship crossing in the morning. As such, I would recommend the early tour.

the tour was very informative. Alex told us about the history of this city together with sharing some life experience growing up there to make the tour feel more personal. would definitely recommend this tour when visiting Panama

Knowledgeable and patient guide. Tour can be in Spanish or English, I opted for Spanish as I came to practice. Tour ended at a souvenir shop. Be prepared to walk, walk, walk.

I would highly recommend this tour with Alex he explains the history of the city really well and has great passion in doing so. Great valve for money

Tour was amazing! Casco Viejo is beautiful. So much history!
