Two perspectives of the Panama Canal in a single day: visit the modern locks of Agua Clara and the historic locks of Gatún, combining the most recent engineering work with the original of more than 100 years ago. Less crowded visitor centers – experience the experience more relaxed and with more time to observe, without the usual crowds from other parts of the Channel. A touch of colonial history: complement the modern part with a visit to Fort San Lorenzo, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, surrounded by rainforest and spectacular views of the Chagres River and the Caribbean.

Best Tour of Canal possible!

Our guide Ronald was fantastic! This was more than a guided tour, it was a history lesson, and I felt we were riding around with a friend. He was courteous, kind, helpful and so very knowledgeable about the Canal, Panamanian history and the city. Anyone who wants to see the Canal and get a great day of sight-seeing, this is your guy!

Nice tour

My guide Gustavo was very good. He communicated with me about where to pick me up. He then took me on a nice layover tour to show me what he could within my short timeframe. I want to come again for a longer start and have him take me around. Make sure to download Whatsapp, it will help.

A fun day in beautiful Panama City!

We started the day with Eddie, our guide, who picked us (and our luggage) up at the hotel. We toured Old Town and visited a museum with indigenous stitched artwork called Mola. So beautiful! Then we toured the Miraflores locks where we saw the Imax movie about the construction of the canal. After that, we embarked on our ship and settled in for our cruise. It was a fabulous day! We especially appreciated the flexibility of this tour, and we were able to do all of the activities that we wanted.

A day in Panama City

Thoroughly enjoyable experience! Our guide, Enilda, was very knowledgeable and quite thorough. She was also very helpful and patient with my mom, who has difficulty in walking. Our tour started off at the bridge of the Americas, then across the Amador Causeway, where we stopped frequently to take pics. Enilda also assisted us with photos. After that we headed over to Casco Viejo. This part of the tour involved alot of walking but it was wonderful. We were able to experience the culture of the Panamanian people, their art and creativity. The old city, it's architecture and beauty is definitely worthwhile to behold. We stopped for lunch at the Central Hotel in Casco Viejo, and the food was amazing. We are vegetarian and the meals was quite enjoyable and refreshing; even the staff was very courteous and pleasant. After this, we stopped at a souvenir shop. The prices were reasonable and we shopped alot, especially as the merchants were very friendly and provided great deals. We then headed over to the Panama canal, to view the passage of a vessel through the canal and the operation of the Mira Flores locks. We were also able to view the short film on the construction of this engineering phenomenon. Enilda was truly a delightful and amazing guide. She was fluent in English and Spanish and it made communication with everyone so much easier. I'd definitely recommend this tour to anyone visiting Panama. It's truly a remarkable experience.
