Partial PC transit North bound. - Bucket list experience. On time departure from the Fuerte Amador resort right at the pier. Comfortable A/C seating inside along with up top seats outside. Good breakfast with a great lunch. The crew was excellent and the canal history and workings were given in Spanish and English. Took about 6 hours total with transit through 3 locks and then 25 min bus ride back to the resort.

The Must! - Seeing the cruise of the ships on the mirante is not the same feeling as being crossing inside a boat. I studied about the Panama Canal in books and experiencing the crossing was sensational. We were very lucky because the administration of the Canal allowed the crossing of 3 small boats, which happens only 1% of the times, that is, prepare to go after a huge ship. In that case I imagine that it is better to follow the opening and closing of the "doors" in the back of the boat. We had the privilege of one day to see the crossing of the mirante, which is already fantastic, and another day to be inside the Canal, so we already knew the process of crossing. The organization was excellent. The coffee and lunch (pastry with pieces of chicken and salad) offered is simple and tasty but the quantity is fractional.

It is a one on a life experience... Mostly to get to know and live what and how does a transit feels like. - Great explanations along the way that helps understand not only what is the transit about but also facts of it.

A seamless and enjoyable way to experience the Panama Canal - The entire process is seamless and enjoyable - they've got this down! An excellent way to experience riding on the Panama Canal without going the entire distance. Food was plentiful, and the other travelers were friendly. Great staff. Highly recommended!

An unforgettable fascinating trip - Fascinating tour of an engineering marvel. Something to see with your own eyes. Videos don’t do justice. Recommend for ages 12up. My sons were 13 & 23. Well organized and timely, with a good English speaking guide who answered all our questions

Great way to experience the wonders of the Canal - A superbly organized tour of the Canal from Panama City to Gamboa. Our guide was congenial, knowledgeable, and enthusiastic. The Pacific Queen was comfortable and offered great views of the locks, container ships, and canal operations. This tour is an excellent complement to a visit to the Canal Museum in Casco Antiguo. Well worth the half day!

Good tour, bad service - The actual tour experience was fine but there were a couple of areas that need attention. The map/directions to the boarding point need to be more explicit and descriptive. Google Maps took us to a city ticket office that was 25 minutes away from the actual boarding point, and we almost didn'tmake it in time. We were not alone to have ended up at the wrong spot but found at least four others that were in the same boat (pun intended). Second, even though food was served on the boat, it wasn't anything great. My wife who is a vegetarian had little choice. When I requested the manager to put together alternative options from the available food, she preferred to be inflexible rather than be accommodating.
