Best Tour Ever, MUST DO, Richard was flawless! - Richard is really a professional at what he does. He magically switched between a mostly Spanish speaking group with a few english speakers seamlessly. Richard also gets to know everyone in the group including their name and background and then integrates that into the tour :). This it doesn't feel like some auto recorded voice in the background. Honestly, this was hands down the best tour I have ever done and the price is super reasonable. Thanks to Richard, I might consider doing tours in other countries, I normally avoid these. However, Richard made it feel like more than just a tour, he gave local recommendations, and tips to do after the tour.

YOU ABSOLUTELY MUST TRY THIS! - This tour was amazing! And the driver/tour guide was an absolute gem. We learnt more about Panama in 5hrs than I did about my own country 😂 This is an absolute must when coming to Panama, even if it's just for a stop over.

Fantastic day! - What a fantastic day in Panama city! The tour started with a pick-up from my hotel at the designated time, 7:20 am. Richard, the guide, was friendly and knowledgeable about his home country. He provided excellent explanations of the places and historical landmarks we visited. He is also great at taking photos:) The highlight of the tour was the canal, and we arrived there early to get a good viewing spot as well as a close-up pictures of a cargo ship. The rest of the day was truly memorable, including driving on the Bridge of the Americas and visiting key spots in the old part of town, Casco Viejo.
Thank you for an amazing day, and I highly recommend this tour to anyone looking for a historic, picturesque holiday in Central America.
