4.00Very nice tour, but too long. Also, the logistics need to be improved. It took 2.5 hours from the hotel to the ship because of poor organization. The lunch on the ship was good and the crew was nice. The guide gave lots of good information about the history of the Panama Canal. Overall a good tour.
Recommended, butooo read the full review.

4.00Seeing the locks through the same channel is worth it. Sail alongside large ships. Live the experience of going up and down with the level of the some, amazing. The BAD: it is an extremely long tour and at tedious times. They passed us at 8:30 am and the boat left after 12. The food quite improveable, (especially for the cost of the tour), boat urges you to maintain good. Logistics could be better. Since there are more than 100 people on board, lunchtime is chaos. It ends around 6 pm. So be prepared to be very, very patient. In rainy seasons wear waterproof, because with umbrellas you cover the vision of others when taking photos.
Our guide Gus was super informative and very patient with repetitive questions

5.00This is THE trip to take whilst in Panama. A partial transit takes in iconic locks and passage under the Americas bridge. The tour commentary was excellent. One minor observation..vegetarians were not really catered for with the "light lunch". That could easily be remedied. The complimentary coffee was excellent. All in all a worthwhile memorable trip.
Great trip, very well...

5.00Great trip, very well organized. Lunch was excellent and the guide knowledgeable, we did not realize that we would not be returning on the boat, but on a bus but everything was very well coordinated and worked out well 😁!
