They supported me on a comfortable and memorable journey - The driver and guide were very careful and I could enjoy the trip with peace of mind. They were very flexible with my wishes and schedule and made for a smooth and comfortable time. It was a service I wanted to ask for again. Best of all, you can cross the Atlantic from the Pacific side and it's an inspiring tour!

History and Pride - The history was amazing. I am not Panamanian, but I felt a sense of pride. I guess Marvin's pride rubbed off on me. He let me know there is more to Panama than just the canal. We learned about the eco culture as well and it's importance to Panama

Exveptional Canal tour with Marvelous Marvi - Our guide Marvin was very knowledgeable and friendly. He shared lots of information with us. We were able to understand how the locks actually work. His command of English was quite good. We actually saw a ship going through the locks. It was wonderful to behold.

Panamá Canal Private tour - My driver was very informative about the local historical perspective and shared insights not shared in the US history courses. The tour was well laid out and well timed with the incoming ships passing through the canal. Everyone coming to Panama should experience this marvel.
