Excellent way to spend time in port in Colon - We were very impressed with this tour. It went smoothly from Start to finish. Milton was our guide and he was professional and friendly and knowledgeable. There were only 8 people in our tour and it was nice when you saw all the big mobs of tour groups. I'd highly recommend this.

Very informative. - Ocean to ocean experience, Milton was a very knowledgeable and fun guide. Tour was adjusted to see a ship traversing the lock which was a bonus.

Informative tour!! - Our guide Milton was so very informative and a great guide. Our 1.15 hour drive from the cruise port to Panama City went by quickly as Milton explained what we were going by to see. After seeing the locks, it was useful as we sailed through the Panama Canal the next day. Thank you Milton!!

City tour and the locks at canal….wonderful guide Milton! - What a wonderful guide we had Milton and driver Oriel. Milton was a great speaker and had a vast knowledge of Colon and Panama. Great at his job!!!! Tour started at 10 but could have been 9am to experience the entire walking tour. Although weather was wet at the end it made it cut short. A great day and the Miraflores licks experience was great and imax movie very informative

To less time for two attractions - We had a great experience at the locks, but the tour started online hour later and we can’t choose the meeting point at the cruise harbor. So we had to take a taxi into town for 6 Dollars. We meet and go to the cruise harbor. That wasn’t a good start. The guide’s information was very helpful and good, but after all we had not enough time to visit the old town of Panama City . The time management was bad, because we had to drive 90 km back to ship and getting nervous to reach it. The first hour was missing! We think it can made better.

Starting late and running out of time - The day before the tour I wrote the agency to confirm time and meeting point but I did not get an answer.The next day -40min before the tour was supposed to start- I got an whatsapp that it will start an hour later - 10am instead of 9am. We would have loved to get informed earlier so we could have start the day more relaxed. We first drove to the Miraflora locks which was a good experience. Then we should have had an hour walking tour through the old part of the City but this was cutted to 20 Minuten as we were running out of time. So at the end we spent lots of time in the car to see quite little. Meltin, our guide, was a nice guy with lots of knowledge but communication about time and what to do wasen't really good. So at the end the tour leaves us dissapointed and we wouldn't recommend to book it.
