Experiencing the Panama Canal locks from the inside. - We came to Panama City specifically to learn about and experience the canal and its locks. Our previous 3 days were spent in the visitors centers at the various lock sites. This tour added another dimension by giving us the experience of going through the locks, watching the gates to the locks close behind us and open in front of us, and experience the rise and fall as the locks adjusted the elevation of this ship we were on. We found that, beyond learning about the locks, experiencing the locks added an additional and enjoyable dementia to our Panama canal experience. We would highly recommend anyone who is really fascinated by the locks to have this experience.

Yolo! - If you’re only going to be in Panama City once, this is worth doing. You get to experience the engineering of the locks first-hand. For me it was the bucket list item I didn’t know I needed. I took an amazing time lapse of the water coming up and of our boat leaving the canal. Take the tour.YOLO.

Not to miss - Great experience and I was able to take the Panama Canal off my bucket list. They gave a lot of information in Spanish, English and also partially in German. Decent food and non alcoholic drinks included. Beers at $3 - very reasonable. Highly recommend this tour.
