• 5Wonderful Walking Tour of Casco Viejo with Eustacio

  We had a wonderful walking tour of Casco Viejo with Eustacio. He was extremely knowledgeable, professional and engaging throughout the tour. He shared so much about the history and culture of Panama and Casco Viejo, which made the experience both interesting and enjoyable. Eustacio was also very personable and took the time to answer our questions along the way. We really enjoyed the tour and would definitely recommend him to anyone visiting Panama City and looking for an informative and enjoyable walking tour

• 5Superb walking tour

  Maria was friendly and very knowledgeable. She was happy to go at our pace. We learnt a lot about the history of Panama, but also about the different people who live here, coffee production in Panama and the story behind Panama hats. Very good value for money.

• 5Our guide spoke English...

  Our guide spoke English well. He was very proud of Panama's old town World Heritage status. He had stories about nearly every building. It was a leisurely, pleasant walk that included a couple of "cooling off" stops as well.

• 1Disappointing Experience

  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.

  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

• 5Great experience

  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!

About Panama City

Panama City is the capital at the Pacific entrance of the Panama Canal, with a colonial old quarter, a glittering skyline and rainforest at its edge.

Panama City sits on the Pacific coast beside the entrance to the Panama Canal, and ships queue in the bay for the passage. The Miraflores Locks, a short drive from the centre, let visitors watch vessels being raised and lowered. Casco Viejo, the old quarter founded in 1673, has restored colonial plazas, churches and balconied houses, and the Amador Causeway runs out into the bay with views back to the skyline.

Top-ranked sights in Panama City: Casco Viejo, Panama Canal, Amador Causeway (Calzada de Amador).
