This is one of our favourite walking tours we have done during our 5 months in Central America! Giovanni was a great guide, he spoke perfect English and taught us a lot about the history and culture of Panama City and Casco Viejo. You can tell he is really passionate about his country which is great. He even provided us with umbrellas and little bottles of water which we’ve never had on a walking tour before. Would highly recommend this tour if you are visiting Panama City!

A great morning spent with Giovanni He was very knowledgable about the history of Panama as a whole, the city and specifically the old town. We covered all of the old town by foot, making plenty of stops at places of interest. He gave us recommendations of where else to visit while in the city. He also provided umbrellas as it was raining which was a nice touch Overall a brilliant tour and I’d recommend anyone in the city to book with Giovanni.
