We paid 25 hr for 4 people in air conditioned taxi for a 1.5 hr tour of old town area. Driver later offered us $70 flat rate to stay with us all day (4-5 hr) and continue to golden zone, but we declined

A pulmonia should be around 6 bucks.

 

How and where would one catch a Palamino? Would it fit 4 adults? Would the driver be able to take us on a bit of a tour to downtown, especially the cathedral and see the divers, then take us to one of the Golden Zone beach areas? If so, about how much should we pay? Do they get tipped? I appreciate any advice on this.

The Pulmonias (not palamino) are glorified golf carts. Most can sit 3 or 4. There are some that have a 3rd seat.

 

We took a tour of the city (except for the Gold Zone) in a pulmonia. For us, we did 1 hour for $20 plus tip.

 

The Gold Zone is the hotel and AI area. It is geared to the tourist.

 

Grab a taxi or pulmonia on the street. The ones in the port inside the gate are more expensive.

Thank you for your quick response and correction. We will seek our transportation outside the gated area. I'm thinking who ever we hire could take us to the beach for a while after the tour and pick us up at a designated time from the beach area to get us back to the ship. Excited to go!)
