We did the Panama City tour. Although we had an excellent guide it just easn’t That interesting to sit in bus and drive around the city. Once we got out to see the old colonial city it was go, go, go to visit one church after another. Once again would have preferred to just go to old city and leisurely walk around.

Beautiful cathedral and a nice comfort stop

Nice view once you reach top of port but it is quite a hike up! Dont recommend if mobility is an issue.

Loved the tour but not enough time to explore the colonial city. Next time Id just go in and walk around this magnificent and colorful old town. Loved the dancers we saw but very short timeframe. Emerald factory really just a store. Would ha e preferred free time in place of.

One of my favorite ports as the tour took us to Volcano to look into caldera. No magma to see that day but very impressive. We also stopped at an artisan market and had enough time to ship. The colonial town of Granada was next and had interesting walk about to see famous hotel, art museum, traditional dancers. Our tour guide had very interesting stories about the Sandinistas and changes to country. Most informative and great pace with variety of sights! Felt very safe along the way.

We did an off beaten path with a visit to family run chocolate factory which was quite interesting and lots of tasting. Family was so friendly. Next we went into a mezcal tasting room. Quite enjoyable and lots of new tastes. Our visit to Mazunte cosmetics factory was very different. Products all organic and great smells and textures. To the surfer beach to have a snack which was actually 3 Oaxacan cheese tacos served with rice, chips and bean dip. We paid for our own drinks. Truely a hippie dippie, laid back surfer beach, a beautiful place to cool off and enjoy the beach ambiance. Only 8 of us in a comfortable van so a real highlight!
