Great tour - Roberto was a brilliant tour guide. He was early to pick us up and gave lots of information as we were driving through panama city. We visited the canal, Amador causeway and the old town. Would recommend this tour to people who have just arrived in Panama city or are short of time as you get to see lots.

Wonderful - What an amazing tour! Eric was a wonderful tour guide- professional and incredibly knowledgeable, providing fascinating insights into Panama's history, from the Spanish colonial era to the construction of the Panama Canal. The tour was the perfect amount of time for a quick overview of Panama with expectations met. The seamless blend of history, culture, and natural beauty, combined with the warmth and hospitality of the Panamanian people, made this an unforgettable experience. I can't wait to return and explore even more of this vibrant destination. Speaking of the canal, our first stop was the Miraflores Locks. We we able to catch the last ship navigating this engineering marvel and it was awe-inspiring. The IMAX movie at the visitor center offered a deeper understanding of the canal's significance and the intricate process of its operation. Five-star. Thanks Eric!

Our guide's meticulous planning ensured we witnessed the awe-inspiring process of a ship navigating through the canal locks, a highlight that showcased the engineering marvel in action. The journey through Old Town, with its rich history and vibrant culture, added depth to the tour, blending modern engineering feats with Panama's storied past. This seamless blend of history and innovation made for an enriching and memorable adventure.

Awesome tour guide - The panama canal tour , Eric is very knowledgeable and his English was very good !! By the time we watched the movie we were already well informed by him about the history of the Panama canal. It rained during the tour but he took the time to safely escort us one by one under umbrella so we don't get wet ... we really appreciated that ! Thank you Eric we had a great time !!!.
