I made a reservation a week before my trip and stayed in Panama as a stopover for a whole day. I found this walkable tour in Casco vieja with description of "unique", there I met Juan and he really kept his word! A very unique and wise person, he taught me a lot about Panamanian culture and its corners that usually one as a tourist, would not do. I really enjoyed my tour and will be booking more when I return soon! Thanks for everything Juan! Keep shining! 😊

With Hector it was a great tour. Lots of info and you get to places you wouldn't have seen otherwise. The tour is highly recommended and worth every cent

This was an amazing tour! Juan was an excellent and very knowledgeable guide. He knew history, biology, politics and so much more and he is clearly well-respected in the community. I saw so many neighborhoods and learned so much that I never could have known nor traversed safely on my own. He made the tour safe and the final stop at the Fish Market had the best ceviche of my life! Just fantastic!

Juan grew up in Panama City and has witnessed its rapid growth over the last 20+ years. His tour is an off the beaten path view of the working class neighborhoods surrounding the gentrified Casco Viejo. You will view murals depicting social and political issues, enjoy amazingly fresh ceviche at the fish market, and get a taste for how much Panamanian history there is to learn.

Juan was an amazing tour guide! Great learning the history of Panama City, the mixing of cultures and well and some of the not so glamorous things about the city. You do go into a more dangerous area of Panama City with Juan to learn but he made us feel very safe and is very familiar with the people there.

This was one of the best tours we have ever went on. Juan our guide took us through the inner part of Panama City to let us see how the city is changing through gentrification. Informative and heartbreaking at the same time seeing the poorer sections of the city.We also stopped at the fish market for some of the freshest ceviche we ever had. If you want to really see the heart and soul of Panama City, I highly recommend.

This was a great tour to see the old city and learn about the history of Panama. It was very eye opening to experience a bit of the true local culture. People were friendly and we had a delicious sample of fish ceviche at the fish market. Overall great experience for anyone that wants to see the Panama City of old.
