Fast-paced and fun storytelling - This was a great and brief summary of Casco Viejo’s history and sites in a fun storytelling style. The perfect length of time for those—like me—who are not overfond of long, wordy museum tours but still appreciate a historical overview.

The man for the details - Victor is a super knowledgeable and funny guide where you will not only learn the „basic“ stuff of a walking tour but he will surprise you with details that would otherwise remain hidden! Very interesting. He will change the view you look at stuff!

Excellent, fun, informative tour - Victor was a great guide - super enthusiastic and taught us loads about Panama that we didn’t know! Took us to all the best spots in the old town and even gave us an excellent lunch recommendation. Highly recommend this tour!

Great experience, definitely recommended - Very dynamic and fun tour! Victor is very knowledgeable not only about Casco’s history, but also about very interesting fun facts that will make you see this history in a different light. I learned a lot but also had a great time. If you want a tour that’s different and a guide that will make it really fun definitely book this one!

Probably a good tour - This was our first tour when we got to Panama. The scope was good for the time frame. We were happy with the itinerary. The problem for us was understanding the guide. We did 5 other tours in Panama and didn't have the same issue. I'm afraid the accent was too pronounced for us and we only got half of the information.
