Friendly and informative - Alex grew up Casco Viejo and had fun personal stories to tell about the area. He has also taken the time to study the ancient history of the place and does a great job telling the highlights. It was a hot humid day so we were glad for occasional stops in air-conditioned buildings. Alex also provided with cold bottled water part way through the tour. The tour ended at a restaurant where we could eat or get a drink while we waited for a ride back to the cruise ship.

You must take this tour! - A truly excellent way to begin our trip to Panama. Our guide, Alex, who seems to know everyone in Casco Viejo, was great fun but, equally importantly, really knew his stuff. The three hours sped by, giving us a fascinating historical and contemporary overview and inspiring us with ideas for the rest of our stay. Highly recommended.
