5.00⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ It was an amazing experience—totally worth it. Our tour guide, Vincent, was very friendly, kind, and knowledgeable. Everything was well organized from start to finish. The breakfast and lunch were great, and the entire staff was very attentive and welcoming. Crossing the Panama Canal was absolutely speechless. Seeing this engineering marvel in person is something truly unforgettable. If you are planning a trip to Panama, I highly recommend this tour.
