Top Panama Dining Experiences - page 2

Get to know Panama City better through its food scene on this city tour that doesn’t restrict itself to just food. With your guide, visit restaurants that showcase both classic and modern Panamanian cuisine, stopping along the way to admire street art. Finish this eclectic tour—that you couldn’t hope to recreate on your own—with a mojito-making worship at a rooftop bar.

This is a great introduction to the Panamanian culture and you will never see or experience with other guides. We will see Panama through local eyes, most guides will not take you there only Victor who has strong connection with the community of Chorrillo and Santa Ana.

Experience the food and social fabric of Panama as the locals do, from the simple to the elegant, with a local that has roamed the streets of Panama extensively. This tour will provide the best tour for low level to high class in both food and drink, with a cultural immersion that will tantalize the senses. As a person who has traveled, the focus of all my tours is to provide clients with the best tour for the best value. It will be a pleasure to share my passion with you! My preference is to keep the groups small for greater enjoyment for both the client and myself. Be aware that this experience is primarily in the Santa Ana neighborhood (a Panamanian low middle class area) with about 5 blocks on the edge El Chorrillo (the folks are very welcoming) that is different and with locals of darker complexion. The neighborhoods have many unique odors. All food stops follow local health code but they are not tourist food locations. The experience prioritizes safety throughout.
