Fun and informative. Thanks Maylin! - We checked out the old historical sights and went to the museum. I was the only person on the tour but that was no issue. I learned a lot about history while having great photos. Maylin was patient and clearly loves Panama. After the tour she was able to tell me where to get a great lunch. Note to travelers: there may be bugs. Wear light & comfortable clothing than can keep you covered.

Panama - The Oldest City on the Pacific Coast - Charlie was an amazing tour guide. He explained the long history of Panama, including why the city burned (terrible war strategies), the canal being given to the locals, and more. He also helped identify and explain what the different buildings in the area were.
