Great Views - Very good experience. The host took the group to 3 different locations and the amount spend was work it as we all toured the main places. I recommend this for first timer travelers here like myself.

Awesome tour in Casco Viejo and the Panama Canal - My best experience in Panamá! My guide Mylin was AWESOME and I felt connected to all Roderick’s team. I loved every second of the visit and got the chance to deep dive into some of the places I had previously visited. The canal was a great experience! I definitely recommend this tour

Really informative & interesting tour - Excellent tour with loads of information on the locks and canal - the cinema experience was really good Tour of Casco Viejo was also excellent- even though it was a National Independence Day which meant the traffic was gridlocked!

Such an adventure - Such a unique experience, to see the working canal and its full power. A visit here and a city tour with Aura (who is an amazing guide) were so much fun! Definitely recommend it!

We didn’t know we needed to purchase tickets ahead so we waited in long line to get in seat - It was ok, guide was nice but we thought we could have had more explanation to better understand what we were viewing We thought we would see more of the town
