Unforgettable! - Alex was an incredible tour guide who truly enhanced my experience in this beautiful city. His extensive knowledge about the history and culture made every stop on the tour fascinating. I was particularly impressed by how he engaged the group, providing interesting anecdotes and insights that brought the sights to life. The city itself is a treasure, with stunning architecture and vibrant streets that captivated me at every turn. I found myself constantly taking photos and soaking in the atmosphere. One of the most memorable aspects was Alex’s ability to conduct the tour in both Spanish and English. This was especially amazing for me as I am learning Spanish; it allowed me to practice my language skills in a real-world setting while still fully understanding the information being shared. His bilingual approach made the tour accessible to everyone and created a welcoming environment for participants from diverse backgrounds. Overall, I had an unforgettable experience that deepened my appreciation for the city and its culture. I highly recommend Alex as a tour guide for anyone looking to explore and learn more about this remarkable place!

The best tour ever - My tour guide Alex was a gem. He was kind, knowledgeable and full of energy. He made the different buildings, people and history come alive in our minds and in our eyes. He seamlessly switched from Spanish to English as there was a mixture of persons on the tour. He was pleasant and he took the time to listen to and answer our questions. We were picked up on time from our hotel and our taxi driver was accommodating. we were handed over to our tour guide who quickly came to meet us. This tour is really a value for money. Every step of the journey was worth it. Casco Viejo is beautiful and the people are pleasant and it is full of so much history. There was so much to learn and it helped us to look at all the great things about this beautiful part of Panama. I loved viewing the beautiful cathedrals and the wonderful buildings. There is such a mixture of different cultures even in the way the buildings were constructed. It was quite a bit of walking but we hardly noticed it because there was so much to learn. I would recommend this experience to everyone visiting Panama. You definitely will have an awesome experience just ensure you wear comfortable shoes and clothing that is light. You will have the best time ever

A great overview of Panama’s history. - Our guide was great, very knowledgeable and enthusiastic about his job. We toured the first, colonial “old town” prior to this tour. This helped is understand what our guide was telling us about the newer “ old town”.

A walk in Casco Viejo- a glimpse into a neighborhood - So you find yourself in Panama and wanting a bit of history book this tour. It’s a great start, and you do know that this is only one of the ‘old towns’ so let’s begin. Alex is an excellent guide and ambassador to this section of Casco Viejo as well as a local resident. As you walk and hear the sounds of the streets - the cars, people greeting one another and the calls from local shops you begin to get a sense of the community and the interconnections that make up this neighborhood. It is after all what weaves us together as people. During our tour Alex points out the history and evolution of the fort, to town, to city that is present day Panamá city. We talk of many things to include family, business and leadership. Leading by example, a main focus of any leader, is embodied by Alex as he shares his experience and vision of Casco Viejo.

Love this guy! - We love this guy! He’s like an original. He was here when this area was going through a serious transition and saw it all change to the way it is today. It really is an enjoyable tour and has a very unique perspective.
