This is a unique way to see the old town and Francisco is an excellent guide. He is knowledgeable, friendly and gave me excellent tips to improve my photography skills - even with just an iPhone. It was a beautiful walk through stunning architecture. I was travelling alone and this was my first day in Panama, a great start. I was very blessed to have a private tour but even in a group setting I would highly recommend this experience.

This was a wonderful adventure. Not only did I learn to look at this historical area through the eyes of a photographer, but also a more meaningful experience through Francisco’s knowledge of the history behind the many places we visited.
