Excellent private tour - Mr. José Espinosa was unable to attend but was excellently replaced by my dear friend Dwayne Russell. In the first face-to-face contact, in the hotel lobby, it was clear that the excursion was planned in detail, namely, with the timings of the documentary on Imax, combined with the next passage of a ship (in the Atlantic - Pacific direction), at the Miraflores lock. . The permanent monitoring, information and description transmitted throughout the excursion were considered excellent by us.

Panama Vieja Private Tour - My husband and I had a wonderful time exploring Panama Vieja and Casco Colonial with our tour guide Erick. He shared with us the history of the original Panama City and walked us through the ruins and the on-site museum. The second part of the tour was in Casco Viejo. Erick took us to many cathedrals and squares of historic significance in the old city which was very interesting. The tour involves lots of walking so it's a good idea to wear comfortable, supportive shoes. This tour was a great way to get a foundation on the history of Panama and Panama City.
