      Perfect tour with a personal touch

      "We had such a great experience with Daly on our food and history tour of Panama City. We were a group of 50+ women in town celebrating a milestone birthday, and she really took the time to get to know us and customize the tour around our group. What we loved most were the insights she shared about Panama, its culture, history, and people the kinds of stories and perspectives you just wouldn’t get on a typical tour. She also took us to some incredible local restaurants and introduced us to places and foods we never would have found on our own. We’ve done a lot of tours while traveling, and Daly truly went above and beyond. She was warm, knowledgeable, flexible, and made the whole experience feel special. It ended up being one of the highlights of our trip, and we would absolutely recommend her to anyone visiting Panama City!"

      Highlight of our trip! Wonderful guide. ❤️

      "Our food/walking tour with Daly was one of the highlights of our trip. Daly was incredibly knowledgeable about the history and culture of the area. Her stories really helped us learn about Panamá, especially the amazing food scene that we would have never found on our own. We are “foodies” and willing to try anything and loved it all. Daly ordered and paid for all the food, and we ate (almost) everything. Such delicious and authentic meals. Daly went far above and beyond. She took the time to answer every question, offered local recommendations, and made sure we felt welcomed. She was born and raised in Panamá and is a wealth of knowledge. The walking portion was easy and not too far or strenuous. She included a mix of air conditioning and outside conditions so the heat was not too bad throughout the tour. If you’re visiting Panama and want to gain a deeper appreciation for the history, food, architecture, and people, I highly recommend this tour. Everything was incredible! "

      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!"

      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!"

      Fantastic culture experience with Daly

      "We had the most amazing day with Dolly, she is a wealth of information and so fun to be around! The historical sites she showed us starting at the Museum the politics of who runs the city and acquires real estate in old Panama! Everything was just absolutely fantastic. We laughed a lot and had a blast. I can highly recommend Daly! We loved every minute of our tour! History, food tasting, politics and more! "

      A fantastic day!

      "Daly is a beautiful energetic person. We thoroughly enjoyed our day with her. We said our focus was on life in Panama City, how the people lived. She provided that from using the bus to eating with locals. We got the stories, history and an understanding of today’s societal issues. One of the best guides we’ve had, and we have had great ones. Just go ahead and book your time with her!"

      Panama is alive!

      "Wow! What a wonderful experience we had during our 10 tastings of Panama! Daly met us at the Cafe Coca Cola and delighted us with her fun loving nature, expertise and insight. Daly brought our vision of Panama to light! We enjoyed her stories and the sights tailored to us. She was on time, and always in constant communication. The food was fantastic! Thanks Daly!"

      Excellent Customized Experience!

      "Our experience with Layla couldn’t have been better! She met us at the fish market and we ate at a quieter restaurant tucked around back and were treated to some excellent ceviche and great conversation! We then walked through the old city, where she helped us pick out a beautiful Panamanian dress and floral crown for our daughter. After expressing interest in trying Panamanian geisha coffee, she took us to a local cafe for a tasting. All in all, excellent! Highly recommend. "
