This is THE trip to take...

This 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...

Great 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 😁!
A Worthwhile Experience!

While the weather was rather hot, it was worth the heat. There was a little rain but nothing that hindered enjoyment of the trip. If you get a chance, definitely take the tour!
Gus was amazing!

This tour was absolutely worth the money. Our tour guide, Gus, had so much interesting information for us as we navigated the locks. He also answered all of the questions asked of him during his explanations which was a bonus! The lunch was good as well. We made it through our portion of the canal in great time. The only issue we had (which was not really an issue but could have been) was the driver who transported us from our hotel to the tour was an hour early. We were walking back from breakfast and if it had taken longer we would’ve missed the ride. They only wait for 5 minutes then go on to the next stop.
Overall a pleasant experience.

Early pick up was on time (good communication). Needed a little more instruction to board and off-board. The guide who gave the voice over on the cruise (Monty?) was great!!! Got a lot of information as we traveled. Good transportation, nice little lunch, free water/Cokes/Sprite, fairly nice bathroom on board. Overall a pleasant experience.
