Great trip through the locks - We had to get up very early for our 5am pickup but it was truly worth it. We took a boat from the docks into the canal locks at miliflores just behind a large cargo ship and watched as the locks were closed and the water lifted the boat. It was really cool and we actually went through 3 sets of locks. The morning snack was nice and lunch was a hardy hot meal.

Cruising the Panama Canal is a must! - Going through the Panama Canal was an experience we will remember forever. Seeing the locks up close was incredible. The only thing is that we have special dietary needs, so it would be helpful to get a discount if one is not eating. Overall, excellent!

Fascinating trip to see the Panama Canal - This was worth doing. You take a bus for an hour or more to the midway point, the. Take a boat through 3 locks to the Pacific. You are on the boat for about 6 hours then hour bus back to the hotel inc other drops offs.
It feels long with kids worth it if you want to be in with the huge ships in the locks and see how everything works. Jerónimo the narrator was very informative and made it fun.

The Panama Canal Tour Through The Locks is Worth Your Time - The trip was wonderful, even in the rain as we found chairs below deck where we could watch the shore & locks well, but stay out of the showers.
The engineering of the Canal is a marvel, from the development of Gatun Lake from the flow of the 25 or so rivers, to the design of the locks and the waterways along the routes. It was designed over 100 years ago. Truly amazing.

Great views and good food. - Tour was great. Great views and good food. The boat was very noisy the entire ride. Narration was primarily in Spanish. English narration was loud, distorted, and difficult to understand.

Canal transit was amazing!!!! - The Panama canal tour itself was amazing! I'm giving it a 4 star only because the tour guide who picked us up and brought us to the ferry dock did not speak English. She spoke in Spanish the whole ride to the ferry dock and back and we didn't understand a single word.

Panama Canal partial transit - For $150, this tour was a little pricey. You experience the functions of an engineering marvel and watch ships are raised about 82’ using lock gates. The food was not great either.

the lunch was very bad and insufficient - The boat used for the tour was very outdated in terms of comfort. The lunch served was very poor, as were the snacks available on board, such as coffee, which was not available. The speaker was loud and incomprehensible, and the chairs and trash cans, which were not fixed, posed a risk to people's safety when exposed to strong waves and winds. I will never take this boat again. The transfer service was excellent, fast and safe.
