Great Experience - I really enjoyed this tour! Roderick was the best and very relatable! He was very informative about the history of San Lorenzo Fort and the Canal. If would definitely book another tour with this company. I felt safe traveling through Panama as well. We also ate at a local restaurant and the food was fantastic. I wish I could have taken the restaurant back to New York with me, hence why I bought their hot sauce! I had such a great time! Thank you for making this a memorable trip!

Necessary tour with great guide - This tour is a must when visiting Panama. Ok was get a Pacific locks tour, just take Uber. But you need this tour for Caribbean looks, rain forest, and Fort San Lorenzo. Don't rent a car and try it yourself unless you are an extremely aggressive driver. Roderick is an excellent guide. He is knowledgeable, articulate, and a great guy.
