This was our second day with Horacio and we were able to do everything we hoped for. Panama Viejo, walking through Casco Viejo with a little shopping and great photo ops. Even gelato and Geisha Coffee. Then lunch,the Panama Canal and watching the ships. A lot packed into the day with lots of great info. Very enjoyable and Horacio is very personable and knowledgeable and happy to work with you so you can make the experience perfect. Highly recommend!!

Horacio was amazing. We had a city tour and a stop at the locks but asked for some customization. He happily took us to where HE would eat lunch (A fish market just outside of old town). He also took us to a US cemetery (second largest outside the USA) after we just casually asked what it was. He was very knowledgeable about all things Panama and was happy to answer any extra questions we had. He also gave us time to stop at the Cerveceria La Rana Dorada after we saw it on the tour of old town.

Horacio provided a superb tour of Panama City. His historical commentary and area knowledge tremendously enhanced our experience. The vehicle was excellent and comfortable. Along the way, he selected experiences and sites that were of particular interest to us. This is an excellent day tour of Panama City.

Horacio was an exceptional guide! Not only did he seem to possess a vast knowledge of Panama city, the canal and its history, and the country of Panama, but he was also able to explain things clearly and well. He timed our visit to the Miraflores locks perfectly, and fit in everything we had requested and more. He was even able to find us toucans, a sloth, and called down tamarin monkeys from the trees! It was a great day!

Horacio was spectacularly knowledgeable and kind. He was on time, waiting for us when we exited the airport. He was flexible in adjusting to meet the things we wanted to do and taught us quite a bit about Panama. He was passionate about his country and it was a joy. I would definitely recommend contacting Horacio for a tour.
