4.00Wear a mask if strong smells, odors bothers you. Lots of cars and the smell of emissions were in the air. The guide Alex was very knowledgeable and answered all my questions. Due to my asthma I couldn't take this tour again.

5.00I would recommend this tour. It is well organized, the tour guide is knowledgeable about the history, culture and the area in general, as well as walks at a suitable pace to cater to all ages. Start with this tour before going on the bus tour. The use of the microphone really helped with being able to follow the tour and tour guide. The description of the tour and what is expect were accurate and you really got what was advertised. Lots of stops so you can buy your ice cream, soda and so forth while walking. Also for us tour ended at places to eat. Excellent tour. Get ready to be wowed with the Hidden Gems
Very knowledgeable tour...

5.00This was a great tour. I took this to get my bearing in the neighborhood I’d be staying during my time here in Panama and Alex did a great job! I enjoyed that he mixed in both history and culture and his own personal experience living in the area. It’s always a treasure to have a guide who actively lives in the community. Thank you Alex! For anyone who has the chance I would recommend this tour.
Great tour

5.00Our guide was super friendly and knowledgeable. It was a great tour that covered many aspects of the old town. My only suggestion would be to have a slightly smaller group for ease of hearing and covering ground.
