    Lots of walking but doable be sure to take hers to wearing comfortable footwear. The tour guide is informative and really know his stuff. Also eat a bit because you only have water that he supplies but is willing to drop you off at a eatery before you get back to your destination but you will have to get a uber or lift

    I had an excellent tour of the Panama Canal and Panama City with Luis. From the start, he was friendly, professional, and incredibly easy to talk to. He picked me up right on time from my hotel in a clean, comfortable car and drove safely while explaining the sights along the way. Luis is extremely knowledgeable and clearly understands the history of Panama and the canal in depth. He shared interesting facts and insights throughout the tour, making everything both educational and engaging. On top of that, he has a great personality, warm, entertaining, speaks English well and genuinely cares about making sure you have a great experience. He really went out of his way to take care of everything and make the tour smooth and enjoyable. It felt personalized rather than rushed or generic. I would highly recommend Luis to anyone looking for a high quality, informative, and enjoyable tour in Panama.
