Leared a lot. - Learning about all the foods that are native to Panama and a mystery to us. Luis made especially aware of all the different styles of housies throughout old town. He pointed out all different balcony designs which never noticed before. The tour was a real treat and Luis is an excellent guide and person.

Should you go? Yes - Roberto was on time, flexible, a wealth of info and personable. This tour gives you a lot and although we had taken a bike tour that touched on some of the neighborhoods included on this tour, this one provided more depth and local flavor. Roberto was great. Highly recommend.

Excellent. Highly recommended. - Excellent knowledge and the local neighbourhoods we were taken through. Our guide Roberto used to live here and even bumped into numerous friends along the way. We felt safe and got to see areas off the tourist tracks.
