Highlight of my trip - This tour was the highlight of my trip. She was so informed about the canal. We had a flat tire at the first stop but it didn't slow us down at all. I was absolutely amazed at her professionalism, and how prepared she was. As a solo traveler, she offered to take pictures for me, and made me feel super comfortable asking questions. She adapted to events that were going on as well. I cannot recommend this tour enough!
