Not really a food tour

2.00Funny that FOOD is capitalized in the tour title when there was so little of it. One-third of a chocolate bar and a $2 cup of ceviche. The other two stops were for beer and rum.
Fun tour!

5.00We enjoyed ourselves on the tour. Jorge took us to a few spots off the beated path. Started with some coffee and chocolate, then off to a brewery for a sampling of their beers and settled on a glass of IPA. Then we went to a 'fish market' really kind of a food court but had 3 kinds of ceviche, which were really good. We ended the tour at a roof top bar for a rum sampling and a nice view of the city. We enjoyed our time with Jorge, and recommend him for any tour.

5.00Jorge was our guide and was very knowledgeable and friendly. Great stops and a wealth of information about Panama and it's food and cuisine! Thanks for a great evening!
A disappointing tour at best.

2.00The trip consisted of a sampling of geisha coffee with a few (5) small chunks of chocolate, walking to another bar for7ea. 2 to 3 oz sampling of beers that my wife and I shared and then each of us had a 8 oz glass of beer. Walking to the fish market we had three small cups (about 3 oz) of ceviche ( shared) and then to another bar for a shot of rum each. The guide was informative and friendly. This tour was disappointing.
Misled

1.00The pictures I posted below capture what I read on Viator when I booked the tour. Your title and your description on Viator is misleading. This is not a food tour. If you are looking to taste various Panamanian dishes, this is not the tour you’re looking for. If you want to do a beer tasting then choose a glass of beer, taste a glass of rum, have a sample of chocolate paired with a taste of Geisha coffee, and taste ceviche, this is the Food tour for you. The beer and rum were pretty good.
This Is Not A Food Tour

1.00I have done food tours all over the world. This was the absolute worst one I have had. If it were called a sipping tour that would have helped; however, the term ‘food’ tour is not at all what this is. We sampled coffee, beer, ceviche at one location and rum. The guide didn’t really connect with the group and was a bit standoffish especially as we strolled through the pathways. We did have the foresight to snack before going just in case we didn’t like the food but we didn’t expect to not have food at all. In the conclusion, this is not a food tour! It is anything but a food tour.
There was only one stop...

3.00There was only one stop with food and one with a chocolate - 2 stops with just drinks so not a food tour
Great experience taking place in beautiful locations.

5.00Our tour guide, Nicole, was the best! We started off with the Geisha coffee and chocolate that was absolute perfection inside of a beautiful hotel in Casco Antiguo. We then walked to La Rana Dorada to try a flight of 6 different craft beers. Score! I enjoyed 3 out of 6. We then walked to the famous Mercado de Mariscos for 3 kinds of cerviche and crackers. Delicious, fresh and authentic. It's a working fish market that sells the fresh catch of the day along with preparing fish in an open style, casual restaurant. Perfection. We then walked to finish our tour with a cocktail on a rooftop overlooking the old section and all of Panama City. This is a must to-do tour while in Panama. I went with my friend, and it was just us and the tour guide which made it a personal and informative experience.
Exceptional Tour

5.00The actual food that we ate was really representative of Panama. Would have loved to have more food throughout, however, showcasing more local cuisine. Despite this, it was an incredible experience. The guide was very personable, friendly, and knowledgeable.
Great trip to Panama

5.00Kevin set us up with a great custom golf tour. The hotels and golf courses he chose for us were excellent. The food, city/canal and El Valle tours were excellent as well! His communication skills and attention to detail were amazing. We would recommend Barefoot Panama to all our friends!
