Due to successful... - Due to successful experiences with Viator in the past, we decided to do the Panama Canal Tour: Miraflores Locks and Canal Zone while on our visit to Panama. Our tour guide, Julio, was friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful during our tour. We were able to watch a ship navigate its way through the locks, watching the workings of the canal during its trip there. We learned much about the history of the building of the canal as well as Panama's history. We would highly recommend this tour for anyone.

Panama Canal Day Tour - My partner and I wanted an experience of a lifetime. Something that would stay with us for a very long time. Obviously, if you're in Panama, you must go and see the Panama Canal. After reading other people's reviews, we both said confidently that Mario's tour was the one for us. So we booked it immediately. We totally recommend: Panama Canal Tour Miraflores Locks and Canal Zone. Thank you, Mario, for a memorable moment.

Perfect for a young family! - Our family of 5, including an infant found this tour to be perfect for us. We were able to see everything we wanted to see and our guide Cathy was very knowledgeable. We were able to take the time we needed for the infant without ever feeling rushed. It was a great way to get to know more about an amazing country!

What you always wanted to know about Panama... - Very nice company as a guide who casually exchanged a lot of interesting information about a variety of topics with us. This company was in our case exclusively for the two of us.

Excellent tour of the Panama Canal - The tour was excellent. We arrived in good time to see ocean going ships passing through the locks. Then we enjoyed the cinema presentation. Our friendly and informative guide Cathy tooks around the canal zone explaining the salient features. The tour was not only informative but great fun.

Amazing History - Our trip was booked through Viking. We spent $259 per person which included lunch, transportation and a guide. It was 8.5 hours long. It was very interesting and we enjoyed it. Was it worth that price…. still thinking about it.
