    The best!

    "Daly showed all of Panama City, not just the pretty parts, and that’s what makes her a fantastic guide. She obviously loves her country, flaws and all, and it showed in her telling of the history of Panama City. I highly recommend Saly!"

    Wonderful experience

    "Daly was great. The tour was very interesting with a lot of social perspectives related to the food we tasted. It was great to be in some spots that weren't filled with tourists, learning about and eating with locals. Panama is a melting pot and it was really fun to see if through the food. Thanks Daly!"

    Brilliant

    "We were picked up from our hotel and taken to the canal where we watched a film about the history of the canal, we then went outside to watch a cargo ship go through the locks. We were then driven back to our hotel, which in a certain light could make Fernando look like just a taxi driver as the film gave the information, However, inside knowledge is important here as the crowds are large, signage isn’t great and the locks don’t link neatly with the film. Fernando got us there at the right time ahead of the crowds, showed which lines to stand in and told us the ship times through the locks. He then got us out ahead of the crowds. This gave back time we would have spent queueing, had great seats in the film and watched the real ship pass fully through the locks. Money well spent on an enjoyable morning at a must see attraction when in Panama "

    Fabulous day in Panama City!

    "We had an amazing time with Daly! She was impressively knowledgeable about the city and gave us an amazing tour. We had local food, drinks and snacks and learned so much about the history of the city and Panama in general. We loved the Coca-cola Cafe and the fried bread called 'hojaldra' so much! Daly gave us an amazing tour of the entire city. An amazing value for a private tour!"

    "Daly lived up to her stellar reviews and our expectations. We had been on an hour group cruise tour of the Old City, but Daly made it look totally new and refreshed for a 3 hour walk."
