All Colon Tours & Excursions in 2026

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5/5 If you’re visiting Colón on a cruise and want to make the most of your limited time, this private tour is absolutely the way to do it. Being on a private itinerary meant we could explore at our own pace without waiting on a large group, which made the experience much more enjoyable. Our guide, Roderick, was outstanding—friendly, thoughtful, incredibly knowledgeable, and clearly passionate about Panama’s history. He brought places like Fort San Lorenzo, the original and new Panama Canal locks, the remnants of the French canal project, Fort Sherman, and Colón itself to life with fascinating historical context. Our driver, Robert, was equally excellent, making the day comfortable, smooth, and stress-free. My only suggestion for improvement would be clearer pickup instructions, as it took a little effort to locate Roderick at the cruise terminal. Once we connected, however, everything was flawlessly organized. This was one of the highlights of our cruise and an experience I would highly recommend to anyone wanting a deeper understanding of Panama beyond just seeing the canal. :::writing

Definitely a must to understand the locking system . The tour around Panama City - the new tower blocks and photo stops worked well . Walking round beautiful old Panama was interesting with lots of photo opportunities. We loved it . We had snacks and drinks on the way back to the cruise ship and we were back on time . Jenny was a fabulous tour guide her knowledge of the country gave us a great insight into Panama life . She was great and so was our lovely driver .
