Ariel provided a thorough journey through Casco Viejo's history. The pace was comfortable and I was impressed by the amount of information he was able to provide. In addition, Ariel included personal anecdotes from his own family's connection to the town. His depth of knowledge, pride, and genuine interest in sharing the history for others to learn and enjoy made for an excellent tour.

Amazing Tour Full of History and Culture!

I had the pleasure of joining the free walking tour of Panama City’s Old Town (Casco Viejo), and it was an unforgettable experience! Our guide was incredibly passionate and knowledgeable about the history, architecture, and fascinating stories that make this area so unique. The tour was well-organized, starting with an introduction to the city’s colonial past and taking us through iconic spots like Plaza Mayor, the Church of San José with its famous Golden Altar, and charming cobblestone streets. We also learned about the challenges and preservation efforts that have shaped Casco Viejo into what it is today. What I loved most was how the guide connected the city’s history with its modern-day culture, giving us a deeper appreciation of Panama’s heritage. The pace was perfect, and there was plenty of time for questions and photos. I highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Panama City—it’s a fantastic way to explore the Old Town and immerse yourself in its vibrant history!
