Education & fun in Casco Viejo
Victor was a wonderful guide - knowledgeable, personable and accommodating - and we were lucky to have him all to ourselves for our tour. We enjoyed hearing about the history and tales of Panama and its context within Latin America. Definitely recommend this experience if you’re in the Casco Viejo neighborhood.

Lousy.
Lousy, no show at the start point of the tour, already paid. They do not notify of the cancellation, they do not respond WhatsApp asking for the refund. A mess.
Operator response
Tenemos pruebas de lo contrario. Es de pésimo gusto no decir la verdad. El tour sí se realizó y se le dio respuesta.
