The show and dinner was great, the only issue was, booking was only for 2, so not good for solo travelers.

This was the first event we did in Panama and it really set the tone for the whole vacation. Both the entertainment and the food was exceptional.

We had a wonderful experience at El Trapiche. The dancers and the musicians, especially the drummer, are very talented. It was an excellent show! The only negative was that we found out that we were only entitled to one drink, rather than two drinks as listed in the advertisement. Otherwise, we had a really enjoyable experience. I highly recommend it.

Oh what a show! It’s my first trip to Panama and I’m totally blown away at these beautiful show by singers, musicians and dancers! The main singer who is the host as well guided us with facts and culture through each performance, the dancers were vibrantly dressed and you can tell how hard they work for this show and as well as the musicians! Very worth it! Also would like to add the waiters were very kind and patient. This is definitely the spot to go to learn and enjoy Panamanian culture.

This was a waste of time . You are basically paying someone to pick you up and take you to dinner . The place was empty( 2 tables) and it is a free show if you just get a Uber there and order your food . The show was about 3 minutes. The food was okay but my driver who came in and sat with uninvited ate most of it . Choose another tour!

We were looking for a traditional dinner with music and dance. The pick-up from the hotel and back were very well organised. We found a reserved table near the dancing floor. The traditional menu was not a 3 course menu as it was written in the presentation. There was no appetizer and no desert, just one main course to choose between chicken, pork or fish. They offered us 1 soft drink or a beer (only Panama beer). Sparkling water was not included!. When I told them there are 2 drinks included I had to prove with my voucher. So we got 2. The show was performed by 2 persons (one pair) and there were only 3 (three) dances and another one together with some ladies from the audience who were traditionally dressed by the organisers.

Loved the music and dancing. The food was just ok. Be sure to get up and learn the dance when asked. You’ll be glad you did!

They ask you to arrive at 7pm. Show didn't start until 8:15. 2 dancers entertained for 15 minutes and then took a 30 minute break. Food was ok
