This was an extraordinary tour. Jesus, our tour guide, is passionate about seafood and his country. He wants you to enjoy the incredible seafood of Panama. You also learn about the culture, history, and the people of Panama.
We started at the Tantalo with some incredible cerviche. It was some of the best cerviche that I have had. Jesus took us up to the beautiful rooftop bar so we could see a spectacular view of the city.
Next we walked over to Marea for a different cerviche. It was also incredible,too. Next we went to the Museo de la Mola. Jesus gave us a tour. We read about what a Mola was. A Mola is that beautiful hand stitched textile that the indigenous Guna women make. It is an art form.
Next we walked over to La PulperÃa/Bar de Ramos Generales for a plate of fried fish.
We also bought a cocktail during happy hour. There is a list on the menu of the drink specials of the day. Our Long Island Iced Tea was 5 dollars. We wanted to have a rum drink since we were in Panama City.
While we were walking, Jesus told us about the country, the name Panama, and shared lots of information about the city. He recommended the rum, Pedro Mandingo, because our two faces of Panama tour never happened.
Jesus was very enthusiastic about his country and it’s food. There were only 5 of us including Jesus so I felt like we really received a very personal tour experience.
Jesus is a very outgoing and intelligent person. We were happy with his food selections and commentary about Casco Viejo and Panama itself.
This tour was relaxed and fun.
