The channel's work is impressive!!! The historic center and its churches... streets, squares, views and viewpoints of the Pacific. Beautiful - Very nice morning shared with my guide. Alfred. Canal and Hostoric Helmet. Neither the sun nor the heat prevented us from enjoying so much beauty. Plazas… viewpoint to the peaceful Plaza Francia. Street of hats.

Panama Nature and Modernity - I loved Panama City... the marvelous Engineering Canal... the colonial and picturesque city... modernity in combination with Nature... Suggestion to ask what time ships are passing through the Canal to see the difference in level of the ships going from the Pacific Ocean to the Atlantic Ocean and vice versa... Enjoy your stay in Panama...

Want to return - Walking through the beautiful old city! So much history. Lived the churches. And Rodrick customized the tour to our interests after visiting with us. He was so knowledgeable and passionate about his country and Panama City. His insight was balanced and practical with the current and historical culture. Panama City has a great ambassador in Rodrick. I want to come back and visit again.
