As one recent review noted on August 5th, 2024:

200% recommend and unforgettable experience in Panama City. Must try. The best craft beer and rum experience I ever had. Very enjoyable to have this with Ashika. Like hanging out with a friend and the arrangement is perfect with the time and sequence. Love all the beer I tried and learned something new during the tour for both beer and rum.

So, grab your umbrella and let the rain be your guide as you explore the spirited side of Panama City.

As one traveler shared in a review on November 24th, 2023:

A great private tour!! Carlos arranged a tour specifically tailored for us after finding out our interests, our other plans while in Panamá, and our schedule. He was prompt, had snacks and water in the car, and spoke English really well. At our request, part of our tour was a walking tour to see the beautiful old churches in the historic district.

This tour is perfect for those who want to see the city in comfort and style, with the added bonus of on-board WiFi and bottled water to keep you refreshed.
