Great tour - Our guide was very knowledgeable and informative. He provided a lot if history and answered questions.

This is the excursion you are looking for! - This review is very overdue as our trip was in April 2025, but I do want to recommend this excursion to anyone who wishes to not just get a tour of Panama City and the Canal, but a full history lesson! Our guide Milton picked us up right on time, it was our family of four with two kids 5 and 10, three friends we were traveling with and 2 more from the cruise that joined us. Milton knows exactly what he is doing... first he took us to the canal to buy the tickets so that we wouldn't have to wait in line later. On the way there he took out a map and started giving us a full on history lesson, and quizzing us too! He is so knowledgeable that I truly believed he had been a history teacher or professor before becoming a tour guide. He certainly loves what he does and loves to share his knowledge with the tourists that visit his city. After getting the tickets for the canal, we drove back to downtown panama city for a walking tour of the "casco viejo" the historical part of panama city. He also drove us around the newer section to see how much Panama City has grown. Milton never rushed us, but was very clear about the timing and explained we had to be back in the canal by a certain hour. After the walking tour we went back to the canal, by then the line to get tickets was probably half an hour long. We quickly got in the line to get in because we already had our tickets in hand. Behind us arrived about 6 cruiseship excursion buses, hundredths of people. We went straight to the imax movie that is part of your ticket, he waited outside for us. After the movie we went to the viewing area of the miraflores locks, and we were able to see two vessels lower in the lock in front of us and advance. Throughout this entire time, Milton was explaining what was happening. It was an excellent excursion and he got us back to the port with an hour to spare to all aboard. The port in Colon has a very nice mall, with a super cheap and huge store where you can find just about anything. Perfect if you forgot to pack something or ran out of something. There are tons of options when looking for excursions for the port of Colon, but trust me, this is the one you want. You will not regret it!!!

Great tour and great tour guide! Highly recommend - Our family really enjoyed this tour. The tour company had excellent communication and made it easy to find them when we got off the ship. We were hesitant booking outside the cruise line, however this company is great to work with. Milton was our tour guide and he was fabulous. He was very conscientious of the time to get us to all the locations and back to the ship on time. We stopped at the canal first to get our tickets, which saved tons of time when we arrived back at the locks to watch the ships come through. Downtown Panama City was beautiful and definitely worth seeing. This tour was an excellent combination to see in a short amount of time.

Great Canal Great Tour & Great Guide - Fun, interesting, informative and well paced. I highly recommend this tour and our tour guide. The timing for the movie watching the ship arrive through the canal and our arrival back at hour ship were perfect.

Milton was awesome! - Milton met us on time and planned our whole day ensuring that we got to see the ships passing through the locks as well as giving us a tour of the city. Despite the traffic, we still had time to shop in the mall near the ship. Make sure you bring snacks as there was no time to stop to eat. Truly a great experience.

Incredible opportunity to see Panama Canal and Panama City in 6 hours from Colon - Due to heavy traffic to Panama City, Walk around the modern part of Panama City is skipped. But the Old town is really lovely.

Had a great experience... - Had a great experience with Milton and Almiza Tours visiting Aqua Clara Locks and Panama City. A lot of history and Canal information. Highly recommend.

It's okay! Note that the docks and the IMAX cost extra (approx. person) - Great trip to Panama City and the Panama Canal (Miraflores). Mario, our guide was very talkative and explained and told us a lot. It all worked out great, both on pickup and return to the cruise terminal. We were a small group with only six people. So we were very flexible. Only downer, we were only briefly in Panama City. Old Panama 🇵🇦 we were much longer. We can highly recommend the trip

Good but rushed - Overall it was a good tour, but it was rushed to get everything in. It’s an hour long trip from the port to Panama City. We enjoyed the old town. The guide took the group to several shops, and we really wanted to see more and shop less. He told us where to meet the group at a specific time. There was no time for lunch, but since we separated from the group we stopped briefly for some meat pastries. The old city is very nice and felt very safe. The locals were very friendly and helpful. The drove through the new city was very brief. I think that the guide cut it short to keep to the time frame but that was a good cut. At the locks the IMAX movie was excellent, but we only had about 5 minutes to observe a ship going through the locks. The process takes 45 or so, so we were disappointed to only be able to see a small fraction. The bleachers were way overflowing with watchers.

They left us - Tour group failed to tell us the tour started on local time rather than ship time and they left us. Every time I’ve booked through viator tour time is always cruise ship time unless otherwise noted. Very disappointed
