Many tours that explore the area of Casco Viejo (Old Town) tend to be of large groups where the attendees often struggle to understand what is written on the information signs. Rarely do they include insight into the beating heart that is Panama City, beyond its history. Extras such as food and drinks are usually reserved for the more expensive tours. However, if you’re interested in getting a glimpse of local life in the communities around Casco Viejo, savor the authentic Panamanian flavors, gain knowledge about the social-economic challenges modern-day Panama City faces, acquire tips for budget-friendly eating and shopping, and receive safety advice for your city escapades, this tour may be ideal for you. One previous participant mentioned that although the tour presented unfamiliar scents, it offered a genuine representation of the city. For those seeking assistance in making the most of their Panamanian adventure, I take great joy in guiding every one of my clients. For an enhanced experience, the group sizes will remain limited.
