Book this tour - Everything about our tour was exceptional. The booking and communication were excellent. The company and our tour guide communicated frequently about the tour. Mike was our tour guide. We enjoyed his commentary. He was very informative. He spoke in a conversational style not a lecture. We learned about the City of Panama history and present. I highly recommend this company and tour guide.

You've to to see this. - Jennifer was amazing. She gave a rich history of the cnal and also took usin the more dense areas where we saw monkeys and sloths. Mainly it was educational and seeing the new extension of the Panama canal is the prideof the Panamanians. Jennifer our guide was amusing, engaging and informative
