"Daly was absolutely wonderful! She has an incredible sense of humor and shared fascinating insights about Panamá City, taking us to spots we would have easily missed on our own. At the Panama Canal, she knew exactly where to go to get the best views while steering clear of the crowds. Her in-depth knowledge about the canal brought it to life better than any book could! Highly recommended!"
"Daly did an amazing job on our tour. She provided a great overview of history and culture of Panama. She is very engaging and full of knowledge. She walked us though the old part of city and we ventured to other areas, such as the market, to really learn more about the culture. My whole family, including two tweens, learned a ton. We have traveled throughout Europe and Central America hiring lots of guides, and we would rate Daly as one of our very best. "
"We had a wonderful experience with Daly on our tour . She was informative and very entertaining company . We were shown some interesting places to eat and shared some amazing food during the day . I would recommend Daly 100% . A truly memorable experience with a passionate Panamanian x"
"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!!!! "

Fantastic day in Panama with Daly!
"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!"

A great afternoon with Daly
"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. "

Enjoyable afternoon
"What was plan on being a food tour became an afternoon of learning about the culture and history of Panama with food being the icing. Daly will be the reason when we plan another trip to this beautiful country."

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!"
