I took my younger Sister to Panama for her 65th birthday in November/December and we had a great time and part of that was Alex! He was personable, professional, knowledgable and knows everyone. One of the best tours we had in Panama! He even provided umbrellas for those who needed them. He shared with us that he was born in Colon and shared his story, so my sister and I went to Colon. It was an incredible experience. If your company are doing tours to Colon, Alex should be the tour guide. I recommend him 110%!

Very informative and lots of history! Alex is very knowledgeable and mixes humor with facts. Definitely recommend if you are interested in learning about Panamá.

A good walk around the oldest part of the city with a small group and a guide who kept everyone together and on track. We were mostly seniors and the pace and time on tour was quite suitable if you were reasonably mobile with a cane (several were on our tour). We went from hot outside to cool interiors often enough that it was quite comfortable overall. Great churches and the public squares and streets with the distinctive balconies made it a varied and fascinating place.

Alex did a great job telling our small group about the history of Casco Viejo. Answered all our questions and we did a lot of walking, so wear comfortable walking shoes. Visited the Mola Museum which is something we missed the last time we visited. Saw much in 3 hours.

This tour was an excellent introduction to Casco Viejo. Alex taught us so much about the history of the area and of Panama and Panama City as it related. He also shared valuable information about the present day. You won't go wrong with this tour, especially if you are a blank slate like I was.

Alex is an amazing tourist guide very informative and engaging. We learned a lot about the old city that was moved and just about the Panamanian culture in general. Thank you!!

I was in Panamá for 3 days and decided to do a walking tour of the city I stayed in—Casco Viejo. I had the best time walking and learning about this stunning UNESCO heritage site. Our tour guide, Elmer, was the best and had such a passion for the culture and information he shared. He was so well versed in the history of Casco Viejo and was very prepared and provided umbrellas for us when it started to rain. I fell in love with Casco Viejo and I can’t wait to return to Panamá with my family next year. Thanks again Elmer!
