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

everything was good it was small group 12 people total included me and my wife one thingth was not so comfortable is the rest of the group was Spanish speaking and only two of us were English speaking and most of the time the tour guide was speaking Spanish

Fantastic experience the captain and the crew were very attentive. The food was great. I’m vegan and they made me a special dish. They took us to some very nice spots to go snorkeling. The boat was much larger than I thought and in good condition and everyone seemed passionate about the work they were doing.
