Hi there! Nice to meet you

Fernando

Started 10 years ago learning about tourism and now im more in love for making people happy showing what Panamá can offer.

Love hiking, walking and do real coffee or food experiences.

Im a professional airplane pilot and marine engineer.

Being a guide is to be very enthusiastic, understand what people are looking for, stand in other person's shoes and sense their feelings when customizing a tour.

With me you will visit not the common places where everybody goes. Contact me and just enjoy the ride!

Gustavo stood in for Fernando on a 2 hour walking tour of Casco Viejo in Panama City. He was knowledgeable and well connected and great fun to chat with for the whole tour. I would recommend Gustavo and use him again if I return to Panama City which I have found impressive Delightful tour with Gustavo

we went on a food tour the other day of Panama city and Fernando was a great guide. We had a ton of fun. only critique was in our group we had a few that did not eat pork and we had a fair amount of it. The tour was fun, the food was great and we got some insight of the fish market and the surrounding old town and finished it off with some great gelato. thanks fernando great guy and friendly.

We had a great evening food tour with Fernando. We met at a local restaurant for ceviche and a beer, where we talked about Panama and got to know each other a bit. He asked if we had any food preferences so he could tailor the tour to our needs. After that, we walked to the Coca Cola Cafe for a delicious fish dinner and more conversation. Our final stop was for refreshing gelato. Because we didn't want any additional food stops, Fernando gave us a walking tour of Old Town explaining the sights. The experience was delightful in every way. Fernando is very personable and eager to share information about life in Panama. We returned to our hotel happy and fed.Wonderful!

We did a biking tour with Fernando on the Cinta Costera and through Casco Viejo. We enjoyed the tour and his company so much we scheduled a second tour with him. We had a private tour of the Miraflores Locks and a boat ride on Lake Gatun including a visit to Monkey Island. Unfortunately, no ships were passing through the locks that day but the IMAX movie and tour of the locks were great. It was awesome to be on the lake passing container ships and seeing the groups of monkeys on the island. Fernando is a very good guide -- knowledgeable, engaging, attentive and all round good guy anyone would enjoy spending time with.

There were 6 of us from the US, looking forward to the tour. We have done many food tours in different counties, and knew what to expect. However, this tour was not at all what we expected. We stopped at 3 places to try ceviche, a plate with local variety of fried foods and then coffee and fruit. We did not learn anything from our guide, Fernando. We had to ask for the information and even then, he did not share much (no stories about food, traditions, history, etc). I could go into more details but will stop here and hope that it will help others make a better choice! Food Tour in Panama City

Without gushing, I will say that Fernando was just excellent. He has the perfect blend of giving a group plenty of information and also knowing when to let us enjoy the sights without rushing us along. He answered all of our questions and gave us a wonderful drive around after we visited the locks. Our lunch with Fernando was amazing and relaxed. He was genuine and kind and a person that’s nice to be around. I would recommend this tour and Fernando 100%.Easy going and informative

Lieber Fernando, ich schreibe die Bewertung auf Deutsch, damit Du mehr Gäste aus Deutschland bekommst und die Sprache weiter sprechen kannst. Du hast uns herzlich empfangen und den Abend hervorragend begleitet und unvergesslich gemacht. Wir alle sagen DANKE und werden wiederkommen. Und an alle, die einen Guide suchen: ihr habt ihn mit Fernando gefunden! 10+++++++++

Pleasure to have him guiding us for the day.Planned it around our needs & felt he was a friend showing us around not a guide.Even took us to a “secret” bar behind a shop to finish the day!! Book him now!!
