Discover the colorful sights and sounds of Panama City on a five-hour guided tour that begins with a scenic drive to Panama Viejo, the site of the original city followed by a visit to Reprosa, Panama's renowned handicraft boutique and showroom. On a workshop tour you'll learn about the "lost wax" process, a signature trademark in artisanship that ancient goldsmiths used to produce their art pieces. Don't miss the famed gold Orchids of Panama, and discover the secret to making Panama's national flower come alive in precious metals. A photo stop awaits you at Plaza Quinto Centenario, which celebrates the 500th anniversary of Christopher Columbus's first voyage to the Americas. Then, you'll continue on for a sightseeing tour through Panama City's historic quarter known as Casco Viejo. The route back to the pier will take you past the 100-year-old town of Balboa, the administrative headquarters of the Panama Canal Zone.
