Fantastic Panama Canal partial tour - This was an amazing “can’t miss” tour! A very comfortable 40-minute bus ride takes you to a boat where you will cruise down the Panama Canal, making your way through two locks. And under both the Centennial Bridge and the Bridge of the Americas. We were served a very delicious lunch and plenty of water (it was hot)! The most amazing tour guide, Edwin seemed to know everything about the history, the land, the canal, the locks, the container ships…explaining in English and Spanish. He was also very upbeat, funny, intelligent and approachable and really made the trip entertaining! The entire boat staff were also very kind and helpful, always ready to assist with a smile.

Off my Bucket List! - Guide was very good and very knowledgeable. Seats were comfortable on outside deck or inside with AC. View was good from either. Food was decent. Bring something to occupy while waiting in locks which can be long (download games or bring some cards).

The Panama Canal Experience - Something I always wanted to do and when I did I was not disappointed. The view was amazing .I was able to take same beautiful close up pictures of ships sailing through the canal. Wonderful. Commentary on board was in English which was a big plus for me. I thoroughly recommend it.

excellent - Excellent tour. Wrist bands in different colors to organize groups to board and eat lunch. Amazing views of the locks. We were first in line to watch them open. It was fantastic. Do this tour so you can experience the locks opening right in front of you and not just watch from the sidelines.Excellent information on the locks. Great staff. Lunch was delicious, and well organized.Do remember to take your hats and sunscreen as it was hot.

An enjoyable Panama Canal experience - It’s a long day so be ready but it totally worth it to experience this engineering marvel so filled with history. Opportunity to be outside and covered or inside in air conditioning. Lunch was good and drinks were available. Our MC Jose was so kind and patient with all of our questions. Very knowledgeable. We had 180 fellow travelers but the ship had plenty of room. Glad we did it.

Loved it! - This half-way trip on the Panama Canal was all I hoped for. The trip gave you the "real deal" of going through numerous locks, seeing the machinery that makes it all work and sailing on Gatiun Lake. The guide's extensive narration was most informative, as were his answers to personal questions. Check one off the bucket list! Well done.
