The tour was very good, it was the established time and full of good data. The very professional guide despite the rain that kept us busy all the time. Highly recommended to know the history of Panama and some other curious fact, especially if you want to know areas of the old town, do it with someone from the area, since apparently doing it on our own can be somewhat dangerous.

Alex was thorough, honest about the history and passionate in his delivery of historical facts. As an aside it seemed like he knew all of the locals in the area. My whole expectation of my visit changed with the information he provided. He’s a National treasure!

Our guide Yasiel is one of the most knowledgeable guides I have had on my many vacations. He knew the history of Casco Viejo and was very patient with our questions. His friendliness also Jade our experience a lot of fun.

Wonderful synopsis of old Town Panama’s formation, while taking in all the sites at a leisurely pace. Alex brought the history, architecture, culture and renovation to life! I really enjoyed it.

Loved our tour guide great experience lots of walking but worth it
