Great day in and out of Casco Viejo
"We had a great tour with Daly. She knows her stuff, was on time, communicated well with our kids and showed us a great tour! We learned a lot not just about the old city but we explored the outside of the old city and really
got to understand the whole situation
Strongly recommend using Daly as a tour guide!"

Excellent Customized Experience!
"Our experience with Layla couldn’t have been better! She met us at the fish market and we ate at a quieter restaurant tucked around back and were treated to some excellent ceviche and great conversation!
We then walked through the old city, where she helped us pick out a beautiful Panamanian dress and floral crown for our daughter. After expressing interest in trying Panamanian geisha coffee, she took us to a local cafe for a tasting. All in all, excellent! Highly recommend. "

"Daly, treated us to an awesome educational and visual tour of the old Panama city. From passed to present she covered it all. Make sure you dont miss out on the cinnamon bun, it was amazing. Thanks Daly for a great day. "

Excellent tour
"We had an amazing tour with Daly. We are a family of four, including two children. We were able to get a feel for the local vibes of Panama City, as well as some culture, history, and she gave great tips. Daly was friendly, patient with the kids, and we had a fantastic experience (including lunch with lots of different dishes at a local spot, a tiny pastry shop, a walk through the market and fish market and stops for drinks and bites along the way). Daly was able to modify for one of our party, who is a vegetarian. Highly recommended. "

Casco Antiguo with Fernando
"We had a great first day in Panama walking around the Old Town with Fernando. He gave us insights into the history, old and new, of Casco Antiguo and Panama, in general. It was an excellent introduction to Panama!"

Daly - Best guide ever
"I had never been to Panama City before. Daly was more than an expert tour guide she provided me local information that was invaluable to know about not only the past of Panama City and its neighborhoods she gave me insights to the current dynamics.
Daly is not only a wonder personality to spend a tour with, she is a high educated and caring individual that brings a richness and deeper understanding to the experience.
Thank you Daly!!"
"Daly was absolutely wonderful! She has an incredible sense of humor and shared fascinating insights about Panamá City, taking us to spots we would have easily missed on our own. At the Panama Canal, she knew exactly where to go to get the best views while steering clear of the crowds. Her in-depth knowledge about the canal brought it to life better than any book could! Highly recommended!"
