One of the best Bike Tours ever! - Spontaneously registered for the Bike Tour via Jonathan the day before. They were very flexible and could still place us somewhere between with a group of 6 colleagues.
We have all done many places in the world bike tours, but this one (led by guide Elena) was one of the best, if not the best, we have ever had.
She really tells a lot about the city, the history of the city and the country and shows you several beautiful places. Fortunately, the less developed, local, parts of the city are also coming into the open with their beautiful and powerful communities.
Highlights are also the small tastings of juices/coffee/picante sauces at the local fruit and vegetable market and the visit to the fish market.
Definitely a tour to recommend if you are in Panama for the first time, or if you don't really know much about it yet.

Awesome Bike Tour - The tour was amazing, we got to see so many different areas of the city as well as try some local fruits, drinks amd ceviche. Our guide Elena was awesome and super nice. I would definitely recommend this tour. Not to mention that it's on a bike instead of walking which for us was way more fun.

I wasn’t sure what to expect at first - I wasn’t sure what to expect at first—combining biking and food sounded unusual. But I was completely wrong! Yoratan, our guide, is not only incredibly knowledgeable about Panamanian gastronomy, but also about the country’s history and culture, which made the whole experience so unique.
We tried around 12–14 different flavors, always in small bite-sized portions so we could keep riding comfortably without feeling heavy. Every stop felt like part of a bigger story, showing us that Panama is full of contrasts—both visually and gastronomically.
What I loved most is that beyond the food tastings, Yoratan also shared insider tips: great restaurant recommendations, foodie magazines, jazz clubs, the best happy hours, mojitos, and cocktails. It’s more than just a bike and food tour—it’s a complete cultural experience. Highly recommended!

Great Bike tour - The bike tour was awesome! I liked how the guides were prepared to help with the bikes, their local suggestions and their good attitude. The weather was humid, but the bike tour was perfect for it. I also appreciated the stop at the market to try new things from Panamá: great coffee, juices and spices. Thank you!

No Better way to explore Casco de Viejo! - Firstly, i am entirely glad that i chose to book this bike tour! It is arguably the best way to explore Panama; the Casco de Viejo area and surroundings , as well as to learn the history of Panama and sample different foods from Panama. Our guide, Daniel was extremely knowledgeable about Panamanian history and culture and did an excellent job as our tour guide. He is also clearly respected throughout all the areas that we visited. Highly recommend this tour. Once you can ride a bicycle, love history and food from different cultures there is no better way to explore Panama

Jhonathan and his wife... - Jhonathan and his wife “kowalski” showed us the real Panama. Local flavors and the “real” neighborhoods! Told us a little about their culture and history. We went to markets, vendors, monuments, murals and the not so “tourisy” side that all tourist would want to see!!! So honest! So humbling, so Panama!

Excellent option to know the old town otherwise - I really liked it! It is not many kilometers of pedaling and is enjoyed from start to finish. I recommend using a lot of sunblock and going well hydrated
