Absolutely Amazing! - Thank you Sorhay for the tour of a lifetime. Your wit, knowledge and kindness matched the delicious food we consumed in abundance. The tour was personalized and introduced us to a variety of different Panamanian cuisine. We intend to do it all again when we return. Please know this tour is worth every penny!

Awesome Host, Great Food, & Amazing Conversation - Wowwww! What can I say? Sorhay was amazing! So personable, so knowledgeable, and so helpful. She went above and beyond to show us Panama. This was so much more than a food tour. I would definitely recommend to everyone and anyone. Thank you Sorhay for the great conversation, delicious food, and side missions!

Fun Food tour with Sorhay in Panama City - We took a food tour with Sorhay in Panama City in April of 2024. Sorhay has connections with many businesses that prepare and sell food, so she knew where to take us. That enabled us to make several stops to taste authentic Panamanian food. She geared the tour to our interests, was fun to be with, and really enjoyed showing us her hometown. We saw places and things we could not have seen without a local guide.

An absolute must do tour! - We had a wonderful time spending the day touring Panama’s food scene with Sorhay and getting to see a sloth up close in Sorhay’s secret spot. She customized the tour for us since we wanted to experience true Panamanian cuisine and it did not disappoint. We learned so much about Panama and ate some truly wonderful dishes. I would suggest having her take you to get some Panamanian corn bread, it was fabulous and I wish I had the recipe! Thank you Sorhay for giving us an experience we will never forget! I would highly recommend this tour if you are in Panama, it is a must do.

My favorite food tour - I travel often and I go on a food tour every where I go. This one topped them all. I was a bit hesitant because there didn’t seem to be an itinerary of where we’d go. I actually called to find out the locations incase I wanted to book an additional food tour.. and to make sure I wouldn’t go to the same places. Well I learned that she planned to cater the day/locations to what worked best with our group. Her approach, friendliness, choices in food all were awesome. I took this tour with my parents and two siblings.. everyone was impressed (5 adults). She made our first full day in Panama an absolute great one. She also helped us figure out other activities/restaurants during our stay. If you like food.. if you want to explore with a funny and personable guide.. you should book this tour.

Best Tour Ever! - I have been on many tours in several countries (both paid and free) and I can without hesitation say that this was one of the best ones I’ve ever been on. Sorhay was an amazing tour guide! She made sure everyone one was comfortable, checked in on allergies or dietary restrictions, and customized the tour specifically for us. She led us on a tour through Panama City and we got to try the most amazing food and see beautiful sights. From fancy restaurants to the fruit market, everything was delicious and fresh. Honestly, I think I’m ruined for pineapples - they just won’t taste the same in California. I brought my 81 year old grandmother and she absolutely loved it. The air conditioned bus that took us to each stop really helped! :) Do not go to Panama City without booking this tour - I cannot recommend it enough!

Awesome! - We had a wonderful time exploring many different foods of Panama! Sorhay is the best! She is very engaging and knowledgeable. For our family of 6 adults, it was incredible! Sorhay took all the time necessary to show us so many different foods. One highlight was the fruit market - so many new fruits to try! This is a great tour that takes you all around the city. This tour was one of the highlights of our first-time trip to Panama!

A MUST in Panama City!! - This food tour was incredible and an absolute must do experience when traveling to Panama City. Sorhay was amazing and catered the tour to our food preferences while doing a great job of showcasing many different aspects of Panamanian culture through food. The food was served promptly upon arrival and the portions were plenty! I had the best food of my entire life on this tour.

Best. Food. Tour. Ever. - Our tour guide was the absolute best. It was a private tour which meant, she gave us the choice on which locations she wanted to take us based on what we wanted to eat. We learned some Panamanian history and got to meet some amazing ppl at each restaurant. This was like no other experience I’ve had before. Ooh and her English made this tour such a great experience as well. 10/10. This by far is thee best food tour I have ever had. Very intimate and the food was simply delicious.
