Sal del Casco Viejo - Un Viaje a Través de la Verdadera Ciudad de Panamá

Jose spent three hours with us; he thoroughly explained to us about the neighborhoods, and economic, political and social aspects of the city. We really enjoyed the walks.

The tour Jose took us on was brilliant, full of information, places we would have never gone to ourselves and the sunset on the 66th floor was stunning! Defo worth doing!!

5/5 stars across the board! If you’re interested in culture, history of the political climate, getting steps in, facts and tidbits that could win trivia night, and a grand finale of a view, this is the activity for you! José is a wealth of knowledge and so passionate in sharing his love for Panama. He mixes in a story from the beginning and shows/explains things that just visually observing could not elucidate. He was cognizant of the various pacing of the group and did his best - it’s just difficult when there’s people with different physical ability. I loved that José took us to parts of the city that people don’t normally go just outside of Casco Viejo and pointed out beauty that was hidden in plain sight.

Jose does an interesting tour away from the usual ones. His focus is more on the modern history of Panama City. He is good about checking in with the group to ensure the pace is right. Along the way there are pointers to places to check out on your own. As noted in the description, there is a fair amount of walking involved. A really hot day can make it challenging. It ends in a nice spot to cool down and view the sunset.

Josè did a great job! He was very friendly and the tour was very informative. We really liked the choice of stops. Many thanks for the wonderful tour!
