As a Panamanian-American living in the U.S., most of my time in Panama is spent in the countryside with family. I hadn’t really connected with Panama City the way I always wanted to — until I went on one of Ashika’s tours. Ashika and I have been friends for a couple of years, but getting to experience her tour firsthand was eye-opening. Her attention to detail, deep knowledge of the city, and genuine love for sharing Panama’s culture really come through in the way she guides. She can move seamlessly between English and Spanish as needed, making everything accessible and comfortable. She’s also introduced me to restaurants, bars, and hidden spots around the city that I now bring friends and family to. If you’re looking to experience a real, authentic side of Panama City, I couldn’t recommend her tours more highly.

Opened Up Panama City for Me
S
200% recommend and unforgettable experience in Panama city. Must try.
Those us the best tour I had in panama city and the best craft beer n rum experience I ever have as well. Very enjoyable to have this with Ashika. Like hanging out with friend and the arrangement is perfect with the time and sequence. Love all the beer I tried and learn something new during the tour for both beer and rum. You may have chance to know there is local whisky as well. Enjoyed the neighborhood. Definitely not for tourist and a lot of nice restaurant's around. So can enjoy good meal after the meal or have snacks at the bar as well. 200% recommend. Don't miss it when you are in panama city.

Great taste of local craft drinks
The variety of tasting experiences was really nice, in terms of the atmosphere at each place. I really enjoyed the run tasting and was surprised at how much I actually learned about rum and also the unique local flavors they incorporated into the different rums.
