Wonderful way to learn about Panama - Jonathan was great! He gave a lot of details throughout the ride. He was friendly and had individual speakers for each of us so we could hear everything. He tools us off the beaten path, we got to get the true flavor of Panama, which is beautiful.

Fantastic Tour!! - Jonathan was a very knowledgeable and experienced tour guide. He spoke fluent English and got us through plenty historical sights and points of interest where you can take in the landscapes and city skylines from good viewing locations. He is born and raised in Panama and saw how Panama transitioned to the country it is now in his well structured story telling about the history of Panama, its people and its culture. On several occasions he gave insight tips and recommendations on places to go, eat and drink. Highly recommend this tour and you will be fortunate to have Jonathan as your tour guide.

Amazing Bike tour! - Our tour guide Daniel met us at Cafe Coco Cola promptly at 10:30 this morning. He brought some bikes and adjusted them for us and off we went. Although I was a bit skeptical about navigating the traffic in Casca Vieja, we just followed Daniel and it was easy and relaxing. We stopped at many sights to hear about the history and significance. Plenty of time to take photos and ask questions. We saw a lot! Without this vale tour, we would have missed many interesting things here! Daniel guided us with a smile!

Best way to explore Casco Viejo - If I could rate this higher I would! Definitely the best way to see the Casco Viejo. Everything was 10 out of 10. The host was patent, professional and very knowledgeable about all the points of interests. I hadn’t ridden in a while so I was a bit rusty. Not once did I feel rushed during the tour. I also got to try some local dishes and beverages along the way. Bonus points for the awesome pics he took of me ( solo traveler).. This tour is a must try if you are visiting Panama.

A must do in Panama! - If you are thinking of this tour I recommend just do it! I was a little anxious to ride a bike in a city I was unfamiliar with. However, Daniel went above and beyond to make sure I was comfortable and made sure we made plenty of stops to check in. We stopped at several locations and Daniel shared the history in detail and was very thorough. He is also great at taking pictures so I was able to capture some amazing photos of the city and Casco Viejo! Overall I give this tour a 10/10! This was my favorite tour by far! Thanks Daniel for the wonderful experience!

A Very Informative and Fun Experience on a Bike - Did this tour last week with some friends on our first trip to Panama and had a blast while getting some exercise done. Daniel is a very knowledgeable tour guide and he made sure to tell us about all the historic areas of Casco Viejo. There were plenty of stops for photos at scenic points. We also got to visit the meat, fish, and fruit markets and were able to buy a few things. The bikes were relatively new and functioned well. We weren’t offered helmets but maybe they aren’t required in Panama. As we did this tour on a Tuesday morning some of the streets and intersections we had to cross were busy with cars. Don’t do this ride if you get nervous riding near fast moving vehicles. They were some points where we were supposed to follow our guide through an intersection but the traffic showed no signs of stopping so we stopped rather than taking the chance of being hit. When you do this tour you won’t be disappointed. Just make sure to take plenty of time at the beginning to select the best bike for your height and get to know the brakes and gear operations. Also be sure to ask for any adjustments you need so you can be as comfortable as possible on this tour.
