Educational and Great Outdoor Exercise - Great opportunity to stretch your legs and walk among the ruins. Interesting story about Capt. Morgan the pirate and how he captured the city. The tram driver was terrific, knowledgeable and user friendly.

Lively & Informative Private Tour - We went on this tour on Nov 24 2019, and We spend around 4 to 5 hours with Hector P. Truly an informative, interactive, and interesting tour of the old areas of Panama city. Hector covered history from the 1600s to present day, and made sure we not only enjoyed ourselves, but left with lasting knowledge (We even got quizzed throughout haha). I highly recommend it for anyone that wants to learn while appreciating Panamenian history.

Top Tour, Top Guide Too! - We were looking forward to this experience and Yes, our expectations were met and exceeded. Excellent service, clean car, top customer service, free hotel pick-up, and the Top tour guide, we've ever had, Mr. Hector P. We also booked our Round Transfer with this company, they were on time at the Airport to take us to our hotel, and they were at our hotel 30 minutes early to take us to the Airport for our return flight home

Great for a walk - Great for a walk around to see all the amazing architecture around. Too bad there was a protest the day of our visit and they closed a lot of streets. But everything I got to see I loved.
