Fun tour. Great experience. Ton-load of interesting information - The tour was great. Our tour guide Luis was very knowledgeable. He told us a bit about the history of the building of the Canal. Then he brought us to the locks and we saw the locks opening up and a ship going through. We watch a short 3-D movie that explained in detail the history of the Canal and future development of the new locks Then he took us to Casco Viejo where he showed us interesting parts of the old town and told us of its history. Then he took us to Flamenco marina where we could take pictures with a huge PANAMA logo. 5-hour tour went almost unnoticed.

Great way to see the city! - Great way to see the sights and learn the history! Our tour guide Ronald picked us up at our hotel and took us straight to the canal (he had already purchased tickets for us), where we arrived just in time to see a boat in the locks. Then we went on to the islands and back to Casco Viejo. He was so knowledgeable and shared so much history along the way. His English was good, the car was comfortable, several payment options….all in all, a great experience. Thank you, Ronald and Tony!

All right. - Easy parking. The place is very popular. Tribune to see the boats get off and pass the lock. You can then watch a documentary film about the canal’s history in a large 3D cinema. Possible catering and shopping

Panama in one day - We fid not know that the Miraflores locks would be closed on the day we booked. So I subtracted one star. Tony, our driver and guide, was awesome. We felt like we saw everything about Panama that was important to us in one day with Tony.

Manage your expectations - great for information but I needed more leisure time and places - This tour was more informative than interactive. I'm not complaining but I think my expectations got the better of me. The tour guide provided lost of insightful  information but I somehow felt as if most of the tour was spent in the bus as in compared to walking, shopping and seeing things.  I would've loved to spend more leisure time in the old city and we did not get to spend anytime at amador causeway. Felt as if we had to be rushing through points so I didn't get a chance to do any shopping or see anything that I wanted to see really. So I just advise understanding that you will see the places but you may not get to maximize much leisure tour even  though it's 5 hours.
