Authentic and Amazing! Stuffed!!!! - What an amazing experience! Tanya welcomed us into her home and cooked so many different amazing, authentic, Panamanian dishes. I enjoyed learning more about her, her family, and the foods we were eating. She made me feel like part of her family. My recommendation is to come hungry! Thanks for a wonderful evening and experience!

A wonderful food experience in the heart of Panama City - This is one of the highlights of our trip to Panama. Tanya welcomed us to her home and prepared culinary tour of Central and South American cuisine. I was there with my Colombian girlfriend, her mother and daughter and as an American the food was new and delicious. For my Colombian family, they also found the food rico y que recuerda a casa. If you want an authentic experience and delicious food, you should book this tour. Tanya was also very generous with both her time and ensuring that my girlfriend’s mother was comfortable, even as we were leaving.

Great Experiance wonderful Host - First off the host was a very wonderfully informative and nice person to be around and just great company during the whole experience. The food was very good and there was a wide variety of different types of Panamanian dishes the whole three and a half hours went by very fast in fact it was over before we knew it because of the hosts Great Entertaining abilities. It's at a private residence in the City of knowledge which is just outside the main part of Panama City, which used to be a former military base/city that's been repurposed into a beautiful area for residents. We do recommend that if you go for the evening experience that you should probably leave an hour ahead of time as rush hour traffic can be slow.

Do not book this tour! - The woman who host this event is from Europe she is not from Panama but have lived there for over a decade. Very nice woman, but I would not recommend this tour to anyone. The event is held in her house which is 20 minutes from the city. When you get there she offered me to leave my jacket and bag on her could which was covered in dog hair. There was a roach that was at least 3in in length crawling on the wall which she quickly grabbed the bug spray beside the table and sprayed it. The fact that she had spray ready means she knows the home is infested. The food tasted like it was made a few days prior and just warmed up. The desserts were brought out with small bugs on the plates and food so I told her I just don't like sweet things and did not eat it. If you going going to charge this much and have people travel so far the food should be fresh and your home should be clean! Save your money!
