5.00Everyone in our group thought this a very interesting and knowledgeable tour. Our tour guide, Dan did not think no detail was too small to share . The tour was truly a learning experience and we enjoyed having the full attention of Dan. This tour should be in the top 5 things to do when visiting Panama.
Great tour of the locks...

4.00The guide explains the details of how the ship is being handled while in the lock. Information is provided about the ship, its contents and design. In between we learn about the mechanisms involved and other facts about the canal. The nature trail was closed.
