Charlie did a wonderful job and provided a personalized tour of Panama Viejo explaining the history of the city and country. I would definitely recommend this tour for those that want to learn about Old Panama and who lived there.

Our tour guide Heavenly was outstanding! She was very knowledgeable and personable throughout the tour. She was able to include a few extras which made our day. It was our first tour in Panama and it was the best way to start out our week vacation. Don’t miss out on this fabulous excursion.

We had an amazing experience learning about the history of Panama La Vieja. Our driver, Roberto, made us feel completely safe throughout the journey, and our tour guide, Mylin, was incredibly knowledgeable and engaging. It was a truly memorable and enriching tour!

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.

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.

I was recommended by a friend to contact Roderick from Panama Adventure and he gave me different options for my parents who was visiting Panama for the first time. Everything was so easy to book and my parents enjoyed there tour through old town and the fish market. They also enjoyed the Julio who was there tour guide, and he explained the history of Panama and all the sites my parents visited!
