Great way to see Panama City and taste many different foods! - Sorhay. Is awesome and caters to each individual guest! This was a great way to get to see many parts of the city that you would probably never see! We had so many choices of foods we could try and we had so much fun doing so! Thanks Sorhay for showing us Panama and the many different food options! ❤️👍

Must-do event in Panama - This food tour was amazing, customized specifically for us, and such a treat! We detoured multiple times, ate and drank such good food (highly recommend the bacalao), and learned so much about Panama! Not to mention Sorai made us feel like part of her family. Thank you!

Exceptional Tour - We had a wonderful day, Sorhay was delightful and flexible on where to ga and what to see. We enjoyed seeing Panamá City for the first time and saw a lot of the non-touristy city. Would highly recommend this tour

Best tour in Panamá City - We were most interested in local food, but our guide also included many interesting highlights of Panamá City. Sorhay was a perfect tour guide. Gave us exactly the type of experience we wanted. Request her if you can. She will create a memorable experience for you

A Perfect Personalized Panama Experience - Sorhay was an excellent tour guide who arranged an amazing tour of Panama City tailored to our preferences in sites, activities, and food. She was extremely knowledgeable about the city and Panamanian culture, and she offered many food and drink options - all of which were delicious, and none of which were the usual tourist fare. Who would think that a food tour would begin with a very close-up encounter with the rare two-toed sloth, but that is how our day began! This is the tour and the guide everyone should choose when they are in Panama City.

Make this tour what you want! - We did the private food tour with Sorhay and had an excellent day. The whole experience was definitely tailored to our preferences. We got to try authentic traditional Panamanian dishes and some modern takes on Panamanian cuisine. She is knowledgeable and very friendly. She even dropped us off at the Panama Canal to finish our day.

Wow.... book it! - This is one of the best tours in Panama, all due to our guide, Juliette. Juliette makes you feel like you are eating your way through Panama with your bestie. She's smart, fun, knowledgeable about the food, the area, and the people. She has a warm and inviting spirit. We went into restaurants to dine with locals that many tourists won't experience. We were not taken to tourists traps! Juliette was engaging describing the food, the preparation, and presentation of the foods and drinks. She had a willingness to educate us about her own family's traditions and customs and to share how the communities, and how different cultures in Panama share traditions. She's the jewel of Panama. We couldn't have closed out our trip to Panama any better than sharing our day with Juliette.

10/10 – The Best Food Tour in Panama! - If you're visiting Panama and want an unforgettable, delicious experience, book a food tour with Sorhay! You will not regret it! From start to finish, everything was perfectly customized to our tastes and interests. Sorhay is not only incredibly knowledgeable about Panamanian cuisine and culture, but she's also warm, passionate, and genuinely fun to be around. Every stop on the tour felt thoughtfully chosen local spots we never would have found on our own and the food was out of this world. We tasted everything from street food favorites to traditional dishes, all while learning about the history and people behind the flavors. It was so much more than just eating, it was a full cultural im Thank you, Sorhay, for an amazing day ❤️

Amazing guide. Amazing tour. Amazing experience. - Amazing day tour and the food was even better!! Real Panamanian vibes!! Sohray was engaging, interactive and extremely flexible! She had a wealth of knowledge and took us to places way off the beaten path. (For example when my girlfriend wanted to visit the Hindu temple ! What!?? Yep. She took us there.) I won’t go into the food places she took us to because they are top secret. And delicious. 😳😁. Trust Sorhay. Trust the process. We even got to meet the Princess Riley at the end who made sure I knew she was not 3 but a solid 5 years of age! 😂😂🫶🫶 amazing tour overall!

Her warm personality just made it such a memorable experience!
