We had a wonderful tour with Dale. She is very knowledgeable about Panama and Panama City and is very energetic. I thought this is primarily going to be a food tour but it is equally about food, the culture and the history of Panama.An excellent tour

Our guide, Daly, is a delightful person, fully knowledgeable about not only the city, but the history and politics surrounding Panama from the early days to the present. She showed us the real pulse of the Casco Viejo and we fell in love with the way she described the people, their culture, their aspirations and their love of country. Simply wonderful. Daly is delightful!

It was such a treat to have Daly be our guide and getting to experience such unique food. Went to local vendors, the food variety was great. Her knowledge of Panamá was an added bonus. Thanks for a great time!!!! Awesome time!!!!!

We greatly enjoyed our two tours with Daly. She has great knowledge of Panama history and knows her city well. We tried lots of delicious food and saw Panama from her eyes which is much more interesting than sitting on a tour bus. Visiting the locks was very interesting. Panama has a rich culture and we tried so many different foods. I highly recommend her tours. Exploring Panama

We had a wonderful day with Daly. We started with a food tour in the old part of Panama City. Not only did we get to experience true Panamanian food, but Daly also educated us on the history of the area, her country and culture. We went into a wonderful small town/city museum and learned so much about the history of the city and the canal. She took us to local restaurants and helped us select dishes which were delicious and truly local. The food markets she took us to at the end of our day were amazing too. We also added the Panama Canal tour which was absolutely incredible to see. It was great to go there with a local- it really added so much more to the experience than had we done it alone. We highly recommend booking any tour with Daly. She’s very knowledgeable and super fun too!Fantastic day in Panama with Daly!

Based on the description of a three-hour tour with “10 delicious and typical tastings,” we were disappointed with this experience. The tour, scheduled from 12:30 PM to 3:30 PM, ran over two hours later, and we only visited four food stops instead of the promised ten. The first hour was spent in a history museum, which, while interesting, seemed unrelated to a food tour. Our first food stop was at a “La Fonda,” but many dishes were unavailable or had been sitting out too long since we arrived after the lunch rush. Daly, our guide, suggested coming back another day before the lunch rush, which made us feel like we may have missed out on the best items. Daly asked if we had any hard time constraints, which we appreciated, but we didn’t anticipate how much longer the tour would extend beyond its scheduled end time. Afterward, we walked to Chinatown. Along the way we stopped into another La Fonda but didn’t get any food – most of the food service line was empty since the lunch rush was over, so we’re not sure why we stopped here. The next stop was a Chinese restaurant, which served dishes similar to those found in the U.S. rather than uniquely Panamanian. By this point, only 30 minutes remained of the scheduled three-hour tour, yet we had visited only two tasting stops out of the advertised ten. We then headed to the meat, produce, and fish markets, arriving after 3:30 PM. Most of the market stalls were closed, leaving us to see workers cleaning up rather than a vibrant market of fresh goods. At the juice stall, we had a fresh drink that was tasty. The fish market was unappealing, with flies, birds, and visibly poor cleanliness. Despite this, we were taken to a seafood restaurant attached to the market, which we chose to skip after seeing the fish market. We ended the tour with coffee, which was excellent, but skipped the brewery stop as it was past 5 PM by this point. In summary: Time management was a major issue, and the tour did not deliver the advertised ten tastings. While Daly was friendly, the experience felt disorganized and underwhelming. It’s possible some of this could be addressed by updating the tour description to properly set expectations, as well as clearly setting expectations at the beginning of the tour.Disappointing

We took an early afternoon booking and skipped lunch so we were pretty hungry by time we got to the food tasting. However, by time we got to the food and drink it was abundant and excellent. In between food stops we walked and listened to Daly's stories about the local and regional history. It was all very tasty and interesting. A great afternoon with Daly
