From bookings months ago until getting dropped off at a request near our hotel, everything was amazing. Sorhay makes it all about whatever you want and doesn't skimp or make you feel rushed. She was a perfect host. All the food was delicious and suited are culinary interests...and hubs and I are on opposite ends of the spectrum when it comes to food. Highly recommend!

Amazing tour. Book it now. The most expensive tour we booked in Panama and we would (will) do it again. Worth every dime. We did the food tour. Sorhay asked questions to get to know us and understand what we like. We started the day stopping for coffee where Sorhay gave us options of what she thought we would like based on our conversations. It was like Choose Your Own Adventure books building a curated tour you love. The first coffee stop I had no idea there are coffee tasting cups that make Geisha coffee taste different depending on the cup shape. Already ordered some for the house. Then we had a great Panamanian breakfast. After that we drove around while Sorhay explained what we were seeing. Tried a different ceviche with apples and mayo that was fun. Went to a fruit market to taste fruit we never heard of. Lots of fun to try the different flavors. Then we headed to neighborhood we would not have found on our own to try oxtail and bacalao with coconut rice and beans. It was excellent. We were the only tourist in the area. Next we had fabulous chicharrones at a nice restaurant and saw the fancy part of Panama City. We ended the tour with a cocktail at an adorable coffee bar/cocktail lounge. For us it was the perfect curated day. Thank you Sorhay! We will be back. To top all of this off, Sorhay made us a video of our day so we can remember it. Had I known Sorhay at the start of our trip I would have booked all our different tours through her. Do yourself a favor and book with The Real Panama Tours. Sorhay will curate the tour to fit you and it will be amazing.

This was one of the most memorable tours my wife and I have ever taken. The main tour guide Eddy was AWESOME! We have booked “ADVANCED” ATV tours in the past but this one is the real deal. We made our way through the jungle in deep mud, rocks, hills and water crossings. Half way through the tour we stopped for a break and enjoyed some fresh pineapple and passion fruit…. Delicious! We had some mechanical issues but the guides worked very had to rectify the issues but to be honest it just added to the experience. I highly recommend this trip. Do yourself a favor and book this trip you will love it!

We had a really great time and we enjoyed every second with the Real Panama team, especially Rober!!! This guy has a unique energy, if you feel low this guys will put you in the mood !!! 💯 recommended for any tour.

Great, amazing, friendly, anx knowledgeable. Highly recommend! Sorai was very adaptable and led our group all over the great country of Panama. Lots of information about areas visited and wants you to really experience all Panama is!

Our MBA group from Butler was escorted by Sohar and Roger all week and we could not have been in better hands. We visited Colon Free Zone, Embera village, Panama Canal, lake tour with monkeys and crocodiles, many awesome coffees and meals, and lots of local history. This is your best option when visiting Panama!

Booking tours with The Real Panama Tours was the best decision ever! I was in a pinch and planning a trip to Panama at the last minute for my wedding anniversary. I researched and came across numerous positive, highly recommended reviews of this company. I reached out to Sorhay of The Real Panama Tours and it was on! Sorhay is responsive and does everything it takes to plan the perfect experience. The itineraries are customizable (except Embera) which was a plus because we got to experience so much of what Panama has to offer. I booked 3 full day tours: Colon beach day with horseback riding, Embera tour, and the Panama City/Canal with Monkey/wildlife boat adventure for myself, husband, and two year old. Each tour included private, clean and comfortable transportation from our hotel with guides that were professional, friendly, fun, and extremely knowledgeable. The tours accommodated my 2 year old and they even included a car seat. Yes, we went horseback riding with a 2 year old! Each tour guide made us feel like an extension of their families. Thank you Sorhay, Alex, Lili, and Edy!!!! I can’t thank you all enough for your hospitality. Making this trip and anniversary celebration even more special were the gifts and surprises. Every day, and I mean EVERY DAY my baby received a gift (a beach ball, balloons, and a stuffed animal). The greatest surprise was the decorated party bus with Mylar balloons of our anniversary number, eleven. Wow!!!! The Real Panamá Tours exceeded my expectations! I will be back and I’m excited to return. I highly recommend!

Soray and Roger are fantastic guides and very knowledgeable about Panama City and the country of Panama as a whole. They meticulously cater to your interests and not only show you the city but have you experiencing the REAL Panama. They know the best local coffee shops, restaurants, and places of interest. We were able to experience the local cuisine at some of the best restaurants and try some of the best coffee I have ever had. The hospitality is wonderful and the passion they have for guiding people around their country is out of this world. If you are truly looking to experience Panama as a traveler and not just a tourist, these are the people you need to do it with!

The BEST tour company ever. She planned the whole week filled with the best food and activities. Anything we wanted, she found and made happen. It was so nice being able to relax and just trust her the whole week. I seriously cannot recommend the team enough. Do yourself a favor and book with them. We did: Pineapple farm tour Locks tour Village and waterfall hike Food tour Old town tour

This is simply the best tour group you will ever use. It is as simple as that. No other tour group I have ever used even comes close to the quality of the Real Panama Tours.

If you are a foodie, BOOK THIS TOUR! Sorhay, our beloved guide, took time to learn our preferences, gave us some choices, and made spontaneous decisions when unexpected opportunities presented themselves. The list of foods we sampled at restaurants was long but included a flight of infused warm milk, avocado toast, filled churros to die for, sausage, beans and cheese, rice and beans with hot sauce so good it made the rice and beans dance on my plate, plantains, Panamanian potato salad, vegan ceviche (won’t spoil the surprise), oxtail, pork belly, a rum tasting, and artisan chocolates. We went to a top five restaurant, a cute spot for brunch, local neighborhood restaurants, and a restaurant in one of the poorer sections of town- it was delicious! Also loved the trip to the local farmers market - had fruits I’d never heard of! Best pineapple ever! Must close with a shoutout to Sorhay. Wow. Just wow. Smart, funny, knowledgeable about Panamá, excellent communication and people skills, and clearly loved by the many restaurant owners and vendors. She’s a treasure!

I knew when I saw that this experience had almost 50 reviews and ALL 5 stars that it was going to be good, but Sorhay really made it such a special and personalized experience. I would give it 10 stars if I could. Booked for my parents and I, and we were able to go all over Panamá City for food and for sloths! Took us to spots that we never would have found on our own, and got us out of Casco Viejo. Sorhay is such a kind and hardworking person, you won’t regret booking this food tour.

We were blown away with our day spent with Sorhay - and I mean a full day! We left at 10am, and didn't get back to our place until 5:30. Her goal is to find out what you want and like, then to cater the day to that. She wants you to experience ALL that Panama is, from highs to lows, from fancy to the most basic. It was hard to find a subject that she wasn't knowledgeable about! She's funny, smart, but most of all she loves people and her country! I could go on and on...but all you need to know is you should book her company without hesitation!

The Panamanian village canoe tour was an unforgettable experience. Gliding through tranquil waters, we were warmly welcomed by the village's friendly residents. Their vibrant culture and traditional crafts were captivating, and the scenic beauty of the surroundings was simply breathtaking. This tour offered an intimate glimpse into local life, complete with insightful storytelling and delicious traditional treats. A must-do for anyone seeking an authentic and enriching adventure in Panama! Amazing amazing tour guide.

I don’t know if I can ever go on another food tour because they will only pale in comparison to Sorhay. We were a group of five, including a VERY picky 10 year old. Sorhay went out of her way to find out what everyone liked and find foods and stops we would enjoy. She spent the whole day with us. My son tried everything! Sorhay has a special gift. I wish I could give her more stars. We even saw sloths in the wild!
