Nice exploration of Panama City! - This activity was perfect to start our adventure in Panama. We took this tour on our first day and we were able to learn a lot not only about the city but also the country and what awaited us on our week-long adventure through Panama and its beautiful beaches. If you have the opportunity you should take this tour at the beginning of your trip.

Walking Tour in Panama City - Thanks to Yenny we were able to enjoy a beautiful walk through the old town. We visited several churches, including the cathedral and also several squares and shops that complemented the experience very well. At each stop our guide had an interesting story to tell. I definitely recommend this activity if you have a free day in Panama.

Must do! - Panama City is a beautiful place and with this walking tour we were able to learn a little more about it. Yenny was an excellent guide and she was very attentive to our questions and curiosities. My favorite part of the tour was the visit to the Cathedral, since it is a very beautiful building with impressive architecture. We were lucky to be able to enter and also see its interior.

Amazing walking tour in panamá city - We had fun and learned a lot during this walking tour of the old town of Panama City. This city is a great contrast between the old part, the center and the rest of the city. Yenny, our guide, took us to the main attractions and explained the history of the city to us in detail. At the end of the tour we were able to ask her for recommendations for the rest of our day.
