A beautiful tour! Very historically rich and beautiful architecture! Definitely a must see and many places to eat. I’d suggest dressing nice if you’re going into one of the restaurants because a lot of them were a little upscale. The BEST part of the tour was our guide Elmer! Hopefully everyone gets to experience his knowledge and personality!
Great Tour!

This walking tour was perfect for our first day in Casco Viejo. It was the right amount of time to see and learn a lot, but didn't interfere with the timing of the other activities we had planned for the day. Ricardo was a gem of a tour guide! We loved meeting him because he was so friendly and personable. He had so much knowledge and history to share and it was obvious he enjoyed his job. He made it worth every cent. This tour stopped at three churches so if that's interesting to you, you will love this tour as much as we did.

Really great tour. Alex clearly loves Panama and has great stories to tell. The stories really illustrate the important contribution Panama has made to global trade and the impact on global culture.
Love Casco Veijo!

Ricardo did a great job of giving us fun and important information about Casco Veijo. It’s a beautiful place with amazing restaurants and architecture. He also balanced inside and outside sites well to keep us comfortable in the heat. We found great meal and shopping spots as well. A great way to see this district!
