Memorable Way to Experience the Canal! - This was a wonderful way to experience the canal. You learn so much from the guide plus you pass through two locks which helped me understand the process more. We were given both breakfast and lunch, so you don't go hungry. We came early to get the best seats; the benches on the top front of the boat. Bring sunscreen! Some people stayed at the very back where you could actually touch the wall and see how the back gates close.

Wonderful Tour - This was a really well organized tour with a knowledgeable guide. The length of the tour and what you see is perfect. Being in the locks on a boat was amazing. The tour included breakfast and dinner.

An awesome way to experience the canal - This was a great experience overall; you get on at the marina, and go up the canal through the Miraflores double locks and the Pedro Miguel single lock. It is awe inspiring! Jose was our narrator/guide, and was very engaging and entertaining, with lots of interesting facts about the history and process. The cruise includes coffee, breakfast, and lunch (served at around 10:30). All were mediocre. But...the food isn't the point of this experience so it didn't really bother me.

Must see the Panama Canal - Great tour. The guide shared history and answered questions. It was cool to go through 3 locks. We saw how the ships were in line to get ready to go. We were in behind a huge ship with cars on it.

Definitely A Life Travel Experience - I had wanted to try this tour out, but, I was like, I am not sure about, the amount of time on it (Estimation 6 hours on the partial transit version) and whatever else things, I was trying to think, to see, if I would go or not. I will just say, I am super glad, I did, its something about, when you actually are traversing thru the historical Panama Canal Locks, I felt like, being part of that history. The guide was good also, not too much, not to little explaining, now, relating to the Pacific Queen Ferry that is utilized in this tour, there were several bathrooms,, that were clean, eating area was decent size, the food that was served is not buffet style, but, served by personnel and the food was good and sufficient. Now lastly, the person, that was very helpful in me deciding to actually do the tour, was Liliana, I had multiple questions beforehand and she was great in answering them.
