Luis and the team were... - Luis and the team were excellent tour guides for this trip through the canal. The passing through the locks took some time, but the access to AC was nice and it was a nice boat cruise. The tour guide does several tour types and said the canal tour is one of his favorite to give, so check it out for yourself.

Panamian beauty and pride! - It is an amazing activity to see Panamian pride- the amazing Canal. I chose south route and, as turned out, it was the best option to see just enough: the mechanics of the locks, the experience of entering and south direction of the canal. The boat had everything: delicious food, drinks (some of them for purchase) and comfortable sitting (outside/inside). Tour guide gave a great history and a lot of knowledge about the Canal. If you want full experience (coming from the north and ending on the south side- it takes up to 12 hrs and book it in advance (1-2 weeks prior). There is also opportunity to purchase budget friendly option- to observe boats entering the locks from the observational deck with the movie/history about the Canal (this one is purchased through Miraflores visitor Centre) It is all worth it! Loved it!

Exceptional Tour - The tour was exceptionally well-organized, and our guide, Gabriel, was incredibly knowledgeable. He provided a fascinating overview of the Panama Canal’s construction, including the engineering logistics and the historical and political context surrounding this monumental project. His explanations made the experience both educational and engaging. Additionally, the food provided during the tour was delicious, adding to the overall enjoyment. I highly recommend this tour to anyone interested in history, engineering, or simply a well-curated experience.

An amazing day and an amazing experience - This tour was one of the highlights of our trip. The staff and the company were great. Transfer from the hotel was seamless and the whole day was so enjoyable. The tour guide on the boat shared amazing facts about the canal operations and what we were seeing. He did an amazing job. The other staff on the boat were also very friendly and helpful. If you concerned about getting the value of your money I can tell you without reservation, you won't regret it. It was a really fun day
