Taste Authentic Flavours on a Panama City Food Tour

This guided Panama walking tour focuses on the places where daily life, history, and food intersect in the heart of the capital. It introduces you to traditional flavors while walking through some of the city’s most important culinary landmarks.

The experience begins at Café Coca Cola, the first restaurant in Panama City and a long-standing meeting point for locals. From there, the walk continues to Mercado San Felipe de Neri, where fresh produce, spices, and local ingredients reflect the country’s agricultural roots.

The tour finishes at Mercado del Marisco, Panama City’s seafood market, where you’ll enjoy a freshly prepared dish that highlights authentic Panamanian food sourced directly from the Pacific coast. The focus stays on real places, everyday flavors, and the stories behind them rather than staged tastings.
