Casco Antiguo de San Felipe is where the new City of Panama was founded in 1673 (the 350 year anniversary was in 2023), built only 5 miles West from where the first city was left in ruins after the fires started by the Spanish colonials themselves in an effort to save the strategic position crucial for World Trade since the Pacific Ocean was discovered in 1513, and to avoid the collapse of the Spanish Empire right there and then, to the most famous pirate of the 2/2 of the Spanish Colony, their nemesis who commanded the "Rogue" attack in 1671: Captain Henry Morgan. Both are World Heritage Sites as per UNESCO.

Richard is a knowledge and intelligent guide. He knows the history of the Panama Canal and the roles played by France, Spain, and the United States. I would recommend this tour to anyone who has a penchant for historial events. Any history educator or history buff will be enthralled with Richard's level of knowledge of the Panama Canal, while moving through the historical event sites.

My wife and I had a great time touring with Richard at the Casco walking tour, Gamboa Rain Forest and Ancon Hill in Panama. Richard was very friendly, punctual and knowledgeable. The goal was to see a sloth at the rain forest and Richard came through! We highly recommend him!

Richard was a very knowledgeable guide and did a fantastic job at giving us a an experience of the rich history of this amazing city. There was a fair amount of walking at a comfortable pace, but no one even seemed to notice because there was so much to see and hear about. When we finished, Richard recommended a restaurant for us to have lunch. It was the best meal we had the entire month we were in Panama. I can highly recommend hiring Richard to enhance your experience as you visit Panama.
