5.00My tour with Elmer was great! I am traveling solo and felt like the tour was really thorough and it’s clear how much Elmer knows about the old town. This particular day the area was alive with music, dance performances, and the Brazil/Pamana soccer match. I would recommend touring with Elmer anytime you visit Panama!
Amazing tour! Very...

5.00Huge shoutout to our tour guide Elmer for making our street tour through the old city such an amazing experience! He showed us the best spots for souvenirs, shared so much interesting history, took great photos for us, helped carry our stuff, and brought us to some incredible sites. Such a kind and knowledgeable guide — I’d definitely recommend him to anyone visiting!
Like having a friend show you around.

5.00Richard was very good. It was just my husband and I so it was like visiting a city and having a friend show you around. It was a good two hour walk. He gave all sorts of good information about the history of Panama, the city and even Latin America. I highly recommend.
A must do when in Panama

5.00We booked this tour after we saw the excellent reviews on Tripadvisor and were not disappointed. Richard, our tour guide was so knowledgable and we learnt so much about the history of Panama. It was really good value for money especially when it was just my husband and myself.

5.00Elmer was an outstanding guide. He answered all of our questions and was very knowlegeable. He was cognizant of the heat..walking in the shade when possible and going in and out of air conditioned churches and museums.

3.00The old quarter is small but this walk makes you think it’s bigger than it is. We walked by the major churches but the tour doesn’t take you inside any of them nor did it highlight what was unique about each of them. It does walk you past the major buildings and the parks where vendors are waiting to sell you things
Very informative!
