Did the Panama Canal and...
Did the Panama Canal and City Tour and it was such a great time. Our guide was awesome — super friendly, easygoing, and really knew their stuff about the canal and the city’s history. Answered all our random questions without missing a beat.
Nothing felt rushed, the group vibe was relaxed, and you can tell the guide actually loves what they do. If you’re heading to Panama City, definitely book this one!

One for the bucket list!
If you choose one thing to do to experience and learn about the Panama Canal, this is your tour! We learned so much from Patrick, the tour narrator, during this canal excursion. You won’t be disappointed If you want to see how the canal really functions. The lunch they provided was good as well!

Fascinating one on one tour of the PC!
Dennis is an amazing historian! We loved him so much we sought additional private tours with him during our vacation. For anyone wanting a one on one tutorial of what you won’t learn in the history books about the Panama Canal, this is the tour you want to take!!!

Must Do Tour While in Panama
What a thrill to travel through the Panama Canal on the Pacific Queen. The whole tour was excellent. Good communication on logistics, great boarding process, nice tour boat, generous meals offered. The best part of the tour was Iann our guide. He was professional, friendly and exceedingly knowledgeable about the canal operations, the ships that use it and the complex history of building and maintaining the canal. This is a must-do tour. Don’t just see the canal from land, sail through the locks!

A good experience
It was a private tour with my host Juan.We started at the Panama Canal.Juam had a aura that immediately makes you feel safe and that was important to me since I was a solo traveler.He was knowledgeable about the canal and historical sights.
More stops and photo opportunities would make the tour A+
Overall it was a good tour.

Tour iverview
If you have as knowledgable a tour guide as Dennis, you will learn so much about the history of the Panama Canal and Panama City! He makes the story intriguing. We saw a ship rising and moving out of the locks and he explained the mechanism by which it happens. After the canal we watched the IMAX film. Totally worthwhile. Then on to the charming Old City! Dennis knows all the locals and is very friendly.

Excellent!
We took the early morning tour, which started at 6am. Though it was an early start, especially on vacation, it was totally worth it! We got to see the monkeys, and enjoy a boat ride along the Panama Canal. We especially enjoyed the extra history about the Canal. Overall, a great experience.

Tour Guide with Panamanian Pride - Just what we ordered!
Richard is a FABULOUS representative of the Panamanian people. He spoke with such knowledge, reverance, and love for his country. He took time to make sure we not only enjoyed the diverse history, the Panama Canal tour, and even stopped to point out a sloth in a tree. He was considerate to walk in the rain to buy our group of 8 umbrellas to ensure we could enjoy the rest of the tour. Not only do I recommend him personally and this tour, but I am returning to visit and take it again! Brava!

Satisfied bucket list
High value excursion. Friendly crew. Knowledgeable bilingual (English/Spanish) guide. Clean and comfortable boat. Good food and plentiful refreshments.
Actually being in the locks - with a big tanker - watching as we rose up - was an experience of a lifetime. A bucket list item.

The Monkey Islands are a...
The Monkey Islands are a must-see when visiting Panama City and the canal. Unlike other boat tours, our guides focused on conservation and the animals' health and safety, which I appreciated. I learned a ton about the local wildlife!
