Visiting Cuenca. - We enjoyed our historic tour of old Cuenca Panama hat factory with Wilson as our guide who was very knowledgeable and helpful. The highlight of my trip was watching a demonstration of the Panama hat making process and appreciating the Romanesque , Gothic and Renaissance styles with three domes protruding from the roof of the Cathedral of Immaculate Conception.

Knowledgeable and enthusiastic - Wilson is a very knowledgeable tour guide and he gave us an especially good explanation of the architecture of the city. We thought the Panama hat museum was really, really well done, and Wilson’s explanations there were very interesting. We highly recommend him.

Cathedral terrace views. - Excellent tour of Cuenca. I thoroughly enjoyed the cathedral and climbing up to the top. I was not expecting this but the climb was worth it. The view from Turi did not disappoint.

You will be well educated with Cuenca. - Starting on time to the Tori lookup point You will get a broad view of Cuenca. You will do short visits to a museum or two and you'll walk the historic center and markets. it's an amazing tour rich in history. Ask for Cristian and be captivated with all his exciting knowledge.
