5.00Our walking tour of Casco Viejo with Alex was AMAZING. He was very knowledgeable, shared lots of great history and stories that really brought what we were seeing to life. Hos personal experience living and growing up in the area added an entirely different level of context and depth to the history of the area. We highly recommend this tour and thatbyou request Alex if possible. He’s knowledgeable, fun and keeps the group engaged throughout the tour. Tha ks Alex for making our visit to Casco Viejo even more special!
Excellent tour!

5.00Great tour! Alex really helped us out and due to starting times of church changed up the tour so we could see inside the cathedral! Very informative end really enjoyed the stories from his time growing up in Panama City and hearing about Narnia and the softball games on the beach!

5.00Alex was the perfect tour guide, he picked us up from our hotel (which is quite far out!) and was incredibly informative from the get go. He was extremely knowledgeable about the old town and we learnt a huge amount. It was very enjoyable. He also drove us back to the hotel and he was happy to taxi us at 6am the next day for a canal tour. We plan to go on more tours with Alex before we return to England.
A must-do first in Casco Viejo
