Great Tour - This was the best tour you can take if you are a first-timer in Panam City, we saw so much. The tour guide (Jasmine), was friendly, informative and fun. Sometimes tour guides can be boring, but not her. The whole tour was full of great information and history of Panam. We learned a lot about the Country and the City. The lunch that was included was really nice and generous servings. There was an amazing view of the ocean. The staff was great and attentive. I highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Panama City.

AN ENGINEERING WORK OF MORE THAN 100 YEARS INCREASINGLY IN FORCE - It is an unmissable walk to know the Panama Canal, its history and how those ancient excluses of dozens of years continue to operate 24 hours a day. It is worth seeing how the system works by raising and lowering the water level for the passage of ships. As for Panama City is beautiful, it has a very modern area on the coast very attractive. Also interesting is the old town, although many buildings are still in the process of recovery.

Tremendous experience - A historic and encompassing tour of Panama, specifically the area of cities. The staff very friendly, with great knowledge about the history of your country, being the information very complete and encompassing. If you like to know about the history of other countries (in this case Panama), you should sign up for this experience. Highly recommended.

It's worth the city tour - We made the city tour around the city... several cool buildings, great shopping, but the historic part I believe will be the coolest place in the city when it is completely restored

Panama city and historic center - Starting from the Plaza Paitilla Inn hotel that is attached to the coastal strip and for almost 3 km walking along it bordering the Pacific, to the right, you can see the monumental buildings, children's hospital, and outstanding hotels, along the way there are toilets and fresh drinks vendors; you reach the historic center

Old Town, place to visit only on foot or by bike - The Old Town of Panama City is an emblematic place to visit: Place with magic, history, plurality of architectural styles and bohemian sites... make visitors day or night enjoy it. However, the only drawback is being able to park your vehicle since during the day the State Ministries stationed in that place do not give space and hoard the parking lots. It is best to take the tour on foot or by bike to delight in each of the corners of the ancient Spanish city. It's a very safe place.

A historic center worthwhile - Go through it day and night. Walking, enjoying its little streets, balconies, squares, churches, cafes, restaurants... And prove its gastronomy, that there are worthwhile restaurants.
