Great Tour! - Charlie was a fun and informative guide. I enjoyed learning more about the area and really, the entire country of Panama. In addition to taking me into the churches, Charlie gave me several tips that I'll keep in mind for my next trip since I leave tomorrow. He also helped me time my visit to the canal so that I can see the ships pass through!

Charlie Gave One of the Best Tours I’ve Ever Done - I had an amazing tour of Casco Viejo with Charlie, truly exceeded my expectations. He went beyond the typical stops and added thoughtful touches that made the experience feel personal and unique. We visited a local chocolate factory, stopped by a charming coffee shop, and even had time to browse a gift shop, which was such a fun surprise. What really stood out, though, was Charlie’s deep knowledge of the area and the history of Panama overall. You can tell he genuinely loves his country, and that passion shines through in the way he tells each story. It made the whole tour feel so much more meaningful. If you’re visiting Panama and want more than just surface-level sightseeing, book with Charlie. You won’t regret it.

Julio did an incredible... - Julio did an incredible job narrating the history of Casco Viejo and its landmarks in detail and in context of Panamanian history. We walked to beautiful churches and landmarks, and took in some amazing views. Julio was very informative, courteous, and patient. Highly recommend for context to Casco Viejo visit!

Informative and fun Casco Viejo tour - I had a great time on this tour with Aura as my guide. I booked very last minute and ended up being the only one on the tour. Pickup and drop off at my hotel was seamless and timely. We explored Casco Viejo both by car and on foot. Aura was very knowledgeable and answered all the questions I had. She has clearly built a relationship with a lot of the vendors we interacted with. She gave several recommendations for places to eat and visit while on my vacation. Would definitely recommend this experience to anyone looking to explore Casco Viejo.

Leisurely Walk through Casco Viejo - My walking tour through Casco Viejo was an incredible wealth of knowledge from our guide Raphael from Independence square to Plaza Herrera, a good leisurely walk of churches, museums along with the ruins and its heritage...claimed a world heritage site...a must do tour if you have a little time to spare while in the city.

Must-do and super convenient! - This was everything I could have asked for in a tour. Cesar picked my boyfriend and I up from our hotel (we were not staying in Casco Viejo), drove us to Casco and back to the hotel, and showed us pretty much all the main attractions there. Cesar was very knowledgeable as to Panama's history, Casco Viejo's history, and the places we went to. Calle de los sombreros (street of the hats) is a great place to take a photo. It was kind of a hidden gem, as it was basically empty when we went. The other hidden gems I would say are the food experiences: Geisha Coffee (very mild coffee that can only be grown in one region of Panama), and Panamanian chocolate. Both had free samples, and neither were overrun with tourists. We also visited a shop selling "Panama hats" and Cesar explained their cultural significance. This is NOT a tour of the 7 churches if you're looking for that. We hit 3 churches I think. The timing of going indoors was also perfect; it was already 95 out and very humid so visiting air-conditioned places regularly was much needed. Bring cash or budget in extra money because there are many stops where you can make purchases if you'd like (we didn't buy anything though and still had a great time): Geisha coffee beans, Panamanian chocolate bars, Panama hats, molas (textile art made by one of Panama's indigenous groups), and others I might be forgetting.
