Off the charts, wonderful tour of the real Panama City - This tour took us to places we never would have found on our own. We visited markets that we never would have guessed were even there. We ate delicious foods that we never would have known to try. Elena and Luis and Jonathan and their crew could not have been more accommodating, kind, or knowledgeable about the real Panama City, where the real Panamanian live. They love their corner of the world, and they shared it with us openly. Our appreciation of this city and its foods and its people grew by the minute during this tour that is worth every penny that we paid.

Welcoming ambassadors to Panama - Elena and Johnathon were excellent guides on this tour of food and drink in Panama City. It was obvious, they had done their research and introduced tour members to special places and food one would be unlikely to find on their own. El Gato Negro was my favorite. The chili dogs were excellent as well. Come hungry because you will be full by the end of the tour. Thanks to great ambassadors of Panama.
