    Tours across Panama

    Founder

    David E. Cohen

    David was born and raised in Panama City, in a family that's been part of the local Jewish community for generations. He studied at Yeshiva University, came back to Panama, and noticed that Jewish visitors kept running into the same problem — great country, hard to navigate as an observant traveler.

    So he started running tours himself. He knows the restaurants, the shortcuts, the spots that don't show up on Google, and how to make a Shabbat landing work no matter when the flight gets in.

    What makes
    it different

    A lot of people offer tours in Panama. Here's what's actually different about ours.

    Kosher lunch on selected tours

    Each tour shows whether lunch is included. We help you plan the rest of your meals.

    We picked these tours ourselves

    Not a catalog — David personally runs or vets every experience on the list.

    Works well with kids

    Most groups have families. We know the pace and what keeps kids engaged.

    Jungle, city, coast, culture

    Panama has a lot going on. We can help you fit the right mix into your days.

    Local knowledge, not Google knowledge

    David grew up here. He speaks Spanish, knows the community, has real contacts.

    Your group, no strangers

    All tours are private. Your schedule, your group, no one else along for the ride.

    Happy to answer hotel questions

    Not officially what we do, but David knows the area well. Just ask.
