A Great Way to Learn About and See the Canal - This was a fantastic tour - the crew was so genuinely friendly and helpful. The guide was not only well-informed, but very personable. They engaged with everyone who had questions and even nerded out with us about ecology and biology. It was great to get both breakfast and lunch, and then a snack. We had a mechanical issue that cut our trip short unexpectedly, and we still thoroughly enjoyed every moment. This tour is great if you want to see everything about the canal from the scenery to the function, and learn about history. There is a lot of time to relax and enjoy just being on a very nice cruise.

A Must Do To Experience The Panama Canal - This was by far one of the best tours that we have taken. It was extremely professional and run like a well oiled machine. Bravo to all of the staff, guide, and crew.

Great experience on the full transit Canal tour. - Super interesting tour and it was cool to see how the locks work on both sides. I was afraid the full transit would be boring and joked to bring a hammock along, lol. But I was pleasantly surprised and absorbed the info like a scholar. Seeing the big ships and transits in action is priceless. Food was simple but tasty, and personnel was super friendly. The guide was knowledgeable and funny too. I liked being able to get out of the sun and heat, to the cooler decks below. Overall this was a great tour and well worth the money.

Full Transit is well worth the time! - From pick-up to drop-off, this was a relaxing, enjoyable experience. Seating was comfortable. Abundant food was tasty. Views were unobstructive. If you have the time, it is worth it to complete the full transit of the canal. Time went by quickly because there is so much to see. Our guide was very informative and I appreciated it that he walked around the boat answering everyone's questions.

Excellent Experience - Long day, but worth it. Tour was very well organized from check in to final drop off. Staff was absolutely first class, food was good and plentiful, and the experience was just amazing. Great to pass through the whole cannel system and not just 2 locks.

Very complete and didactic - It's for real stakeholders I would have preferred the animator to speak the same speech in Spanish and English00
