Fantastic Mix of Food and History!
"We thoroughly enjoyed our tour with Daly! It was the perfect jumping off point to become acquainted with the Casco Viejo neighborhood from both a history and food perspective. Our day was upended by some rain (welcome to Panama ;-) ) but Daly was able to change up the original plan to make the tour very enjoyable. Can’t wait to come back and would HIGHLY recommend Daly for your visit!"

Awesome Experience
"We had such a great time on our tour with Daly! We had the chance to stop in Panama on a long layover and had a wonderful time walking around the old quarter. It's too bad we had to leave so quickly. Daly was very accommodating to our schedule and she still had time to share some history and cultural influences along with the tasty treats. Highly recommend if you have the chance."

Don't hesitate, Layla is your host choice!
"I recently took a girls trip to Panama City, Panama and chose the Food Tour with Layla as our host. She was so accommodating to reschedule our event due to airline flight delays. How cool was that! She even agreed to change the pick-up location to our hotel! We had such a great time. She introduced us to Panama's delicacies like fresh ceviche, fried fish and amazing coffee. As we drove through town, she gave us history and common tips like do's and don'ts of the country. She is truly a delight! We felt very safe and comfortable in her hands. The tour was one of the highlights of our trip. Layla is our girlfriend and we will be reaching out when we return! "

Book this tour with Milton!!
"We recently had an incredible tour of Panama City with Milton, our wonderful guide, Milton was not only knowledgeable but also exceptionally friendly, making our experience truly memorable. He took us through the town of Casco Viejo, where we soaked in the historic architecture and vibrant local culture. A highlight of our tour was the visit to a geisha coffee experience, which was an exquisite treat for all coffee enthusiasts. Milton's insights into the coffee-making process enhanced our appreciation significantly. Additionally, the tour of the Panama Canal at the Miraflores locks was a standout. Seeing the engineering marvel up close was awe-inspiring, and Milton's detailed explanation helped us understand its monumental importance. Thanks to Milton, our trip was filled with laughter, learning, and unforgettable views. If you're planning a trip to Panama City, we highly recommend booking a tour with Milton!"

Solo traveler - Maximum Vibes
"Daly is the ultimate woman about town! I had some time to spare during a layover and chose her food tour experience. She was such a wonderful ambassador to the country! Showing me around town, highlighting bites, and giving me insight to the local culture. Everything we ate was so delicious and it was nicely spread out with walking in between to make room for more treats! By the end of our time together, it felt like we were old friends and it was a little sad to part ways. This was the best way to spend my limited time. Daly is such a gem! Highly recommend! "
