Amazing tour around Casco Viejo - My family and I had an amazing tour around Casco Viejo with Alex. Alex has a wonderful personality, very knowledgeable about Panama’s history and culture, and we loved his high energy. The walking tour is at a nice pace with lots of stops around the old town. We really enjoyed our tour, tour guide, and definitely recommend this for anyone visiting Panama City.

Alex, one of the legends of Casco Viejo. - Before we set off for our tour, our tour guide, Alex, gave us a fairly good detailed history of Panama City and how it came to be. You could tell that he has a wealth of knowledge of the town and its history. Throughout the tour, we saw many different parts of Casco Viejo but also saw that pretty much everyone in the town knew Alex. It was a sign that Alex wasn't just some corporate tour guide trying to explain the history of the town, but someone who lives in the town and knows its history. We walked around the area and saw a couple of churches and the cathedral, each with their own histories which Alex tied to the tour and the grand scale of Panama's history. He also took us to a couple of shops and took us through a locals only shop area where shops are lined up along, what I can only describe, as an alleyway. He also warned us of people just trying to rip tourist off, which I could only be thankful for. At the end of the tour, he took us to one of his recommended places to eat, which was near the French Monument. All in all, a fantastic tour. I would 100% recommend that anyone visiting Panama City, look up his tour. You will not be disappointed. Just some tips: -Wear comfortable shoes. There will be lots of walking so you don't want to be walking on uncomfortable shoes. -Bring water. Panama was rather hot and humid at this time, so bringing a water bottle is useful. Alex does stop at a shop during the tour and so you can buy a water bottle if you need it. -Check the weather ahead of time. Alex mentioned buying umbrellas for us if it does rain during the tour. While it briefly rained on our tour, the tour was mostly over and so we weren't caught in the rain for long. It might be worth checking the weather out just in case it rains or if you don't want to go on the tour with rain.

Very authentic guide with exciting city tour - We were both enthusiastic about the tour because it was very varied, informative and still personal because we were traveling in a small group! Our tour guide Alex has lived here since childhood and was able to tell exciting stories about the neighborhood and Panama in general and its development! Overall, a very authentic and sympathetic tour. It was really fun and I can 100% recommend it! Made new friends right away!:-)
