Good way to see the panama canal - Great way to see the city and the panama canal. Enjoyed that the tour does get you out of the van and has you walk through Old Town Panama. Guide was very friendly.

Panama Canal Nordier Cerdeno tour guide - We were picked up by Nodier Cerdeno our tour guide from Dreams Playa Bonita Resort. My biggest mistake I booked a Spanish tour guide. I tried chatting to make a change since we are non Spanish speaking couple. However, Nodier was kind enough to use an English language app. He’s very polite and assist our needs effortlessly. The Panama Canal is definitely a marvel of engineering. He had an in depth knowledge of the history. I would highly recommend Nodier to avail his service. Thank you for making our trip truly a pleasurable experience. Godspeed

Getting to know the city in no time - It is a good experience if you have little time to know the channel, (don't miss the movie that is very good) Jaime, our guide was great and told us everything about everything on a bikingual trip in my house we were 6 people all went alone and had a great time. I would take advantage and give a look at the cathedral is very impressive.

4 hours of fun - We had a great guide in Juan Carlos. He was very professional. He came on time as promised to p8ck us up. He had a good command on english amd he was able to give all the background on all the places he visited. The van was very clean and nice. Wish we had little more time in old town. It is a beautiful amd historical place. It has some amazing restaurants. A must do trip

Not so happy! - This was the less fun of the 2 tours I took. I booked it on Viator and used the reviews from here to make my decision. The tour guide was an absolute bore - not engaged and just disconnected. It was so bad we just left in the first hour. Save your money and do the monkey tour.

This was probably the... - This was probably the driest experience ever. When we arrived at the canal, our guide said nothing to us while the other guides were explaining and engaging their people. My partner and I actually left early because he didn’t seem to be engaging or care. A total waste of money and time.
