¡Muchas gracias por compartir su experiencia! Nos alegra saber que disfrutó descubriendo los tesoros escondidos de Casco Viejo y que la amabilidad y los conocimientos de su guía hicieron el recorrido aún más especial. Fue un verdadero placer acompañarle. ¡Esperamos volver a recibirle en otra aventura por Panamá!
We didn’t move outside of the one block in 45 minutes. Mostly it’s standing and listening to a history lecture. I always enjoy city tours but this is the first time we left a tour early. There were other groups that seemed to be moving around and exploring will try a different one but our group of 4 did not have a good experience on this tour.
Thank you for sharing your honest feedback. We sincerely apologize that this experience did not meet the high standards associated with our Casco Viejo tour. With more than 100 five-star reviews, this was an isolated incident—but that does not make your disappointment any less important or acceptable to us. A walking tour should be engaging, well-paced, and provide a balanced combination of exploration, landmarks, hidden gems, and storytelling. Remaining within one block for 45 minutes does not represent the experience we advertise or expect our guests to receive. We have taken decisive internal action regarding this matter. Panamanian Adventures has zero tolerance for service that falls below our standards, and we remain fully committed to providing every traveler with the exceptional experience reflected in the overwhelming majority of our reviews. We deeply regret letting your group down and appreciate the opportunity to improve.
I was lucky to be accompanied by Andrey, a friendly and well-prepared guide who taught me the history of the place, but also took me to a series of typical local spots where we tried local products. Recommended
¡Muchas gracias por recomendarnos! Nos alegra saber que disfrutaste la experiencia junto a Andrey, descubriendo no solo la historia del lugar, sino también sus sabores y productos locales. Para nosotros, conocer Panamá también significa conectar con su gente, su cultura y su gastronomía. ¡Esperamos recibirte nuevamente! 🇵🇦
Our guide Mylin was excellent. She was very knowledgeable and gave us a wonderful history of Panama and specifically about the old city. From Panama hats to the Canal, we learned so much! Would highly recommend this tour
Thank you for the fantastic review and recommendation! We’re thrilled that Mylin brought the history of Casco Viejo and Panama to life for you. From Panama hats to the Canal, we want every walk to go beyond sightseeing and reveal the stories behind this incredible city. We’ll be proud to share your kind words with Mylin. Thank you for choosing Panamanian Adventures! 🇵🇦
Great tour and would highly recommend! Eustacio was very knowledgeable - it was just my husband and me, and we felt the tour was catered to what we were interested in. Eustacio also gave great recommendations for places to eat in Casco Viejo, and we ended up eating dinner at one of the restaurants after the tour. Thank you Eustacio!
Thank you, Jackie, for the wonderful review and recommendation! We’re delighted that Eustacio made your Casco Viejo experience feel personal and tailored to your interests. We especially love hearing that one of his local restaurant recommendations became your dinner spot afterward! That kind of local knowledge and personal connection is exactly what we want our guests to take away from every Panamanian Adventures experience. 🇵🇦
Very informative but redundant and slow to get to the point. It was good to learn the history, but the guyed did not have to name each individual and provide quite so much detail. The tour could have been shortened by half and provided the same amount of information, and allowed us to go into some of the places the guide talked about.
Thank you for your honest and constructive feedback. We’re glad you found the tour informative, but we’re sorry that the presentation felt repetitive and moved too slowly. A walking tour should balance meaningful history with exploration, variety, and enough time to experience the places being discussed. We have taken your comments seriously and will use them to improve the pacing, storytelling, and guide training for this experience. Thank you for helping us provide a more engaging and well-balanced tour for future guests. —The Panamanian Adventures Team
This was very informative but kind of boring - we stood outside of each stop for a very long time and did not cover much area. The tour was long enough that we could have gone into some of the places that we discussed. We learned a lot but could have learned that much in less than half the time without all the repetition and so much detail.
Thank you for sharing your feedback. We’re glad you found the tour informative, and we sincerely apologize that the explanations felt overly detailed and that the pacing did not meet your expectations. We truly value your comments and will use them to improve the balance between historical context and exploring Casco Viejo. We hope to have the opportunity to provide you with a more enjoyable experience on a future Panama adventure.
I had an amazing time with the guide Delio, a fantastic person and with a lot of knowledge about everything he told us. Incredible tips, including we bought a Panamanian hat in an original store. We were happy with the tour and the guide.
Muito obrigado por compartilhar sua experiência! Ficamos muito felizes em saber que você aproveitou o passeio por Casco Viejo com Délio e que seu conhecimento, simpatia e dicas locais tornaram o tour ainda mais especial. Que alegria saber que você também encontrou um sombrero panamenho autêntico durante o passeio! Agradecemos por escolher a Panamanian Adventures e esperamos recebê-los novamente para viver mais experiências inesquecíveis no Panamá.
Elmer was very knowledgeable about the history, geography, and culture. He even helped me schedule a coffee experience for the next day. I thoroughly enjoyed the tour.
Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We’re delighted to hear that you enjoyed exploring the hidden treasures of Casco Viejo with Elmer.

Thank you for choosing Panamanian Adventures, and we hope to welcome you back for another memorable adventure in Panama.
Our guide was excellent! He knew everything about the area. The history, dates timeline. He is a walking encyclopedia! Very friendly as well.
Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We’re delighted to hear that your guide impressed you with his knowledge of the area, history, and fascinating timeline.
