Great tour of AfroPanamanian food, culture, history and politics - My husband and I were interested in Afro Latino culture and we love food so we signed up for this great tour. Pickup for this private tour was prompt. Roderick communicated with us the day before and in the morning to ensure we knew what to expect. Then, Roderick and Gilbert took us to try many great local spots for chicha, pastries, and delicious stewed dishes for lunch. I really enjoyed the stew chicken and rice & beans, octopus, and traditional soup of the region. What was a nice surprise were the cultural and historical stops along the way, including the oldest Episcopal church of the area, the free trade zones, and the neighborhoods that were previously occupied by American government. Roderick took us through the city like a local to see the richer, developed areas and places that had been abandoned due to economic downturns. He spoke candidly of what Colon was and where there is potential in the future. Roderick was a really gregarious, funny and proud ambassador of his beloved city of Colon. I recommend this tour to anyone that wants to know more intimately about Panama for vacation or residency. We had a great time learning a lot and had a lot of laughs.

Re-exploring my roots in Colon - Roderick gave excellent information on the canals and colon and the history of the city. Excellent job. He allowed us to retrace some of our memories and make new ones with the places we got to see

A Greate experience. - We had the best tour guide in Roderick. He knows the history of the city like the back of his hands. The conversation was flowing with every question that was asked. Roderick is a real vibe and a people's person. We visited the major highlights of the city. They were all enjoyed. Especially the Little Church by the Sea. The caretaker is a character. ❤️❤️❤️💯. We had lunch at Portobelo restaurant in the city. The food, the food, the food!! We had the fish with rice, beans, vegetables and fried plantains. We also shared the local Caribbean soup that natives lined up for. It was delicious!! I had the local lemonade sweetened with molasses. I forgot the Spanish name. We have been to many countries and Roderick our guide is second to none. He is simply the best. Fun, fun, fun!!!

It was delicious! The places of interest we enjoyed them all. Especially the Church by the Sea. The caretaker is a character.🤣🤣❤️❤️
