My best tour in Panama! - I took this tour alone; there were two other people. Richard did an excellent – he was friendly, knowledgeable, considerate and his English was top-notch. He tailored the tour stops to make sure that we got to see two ships pass each other through both parts of the Canal – his willingness to adjust the timing made this the best of my four tours that I took during my stay in Panama. Aside from the automatically generated responses when I booked the tour, I also received personal messages via whatsapp to further confirm and make the tour experience seamless. I highly recommend Lloyd Express.

Great tour and tour guide. - This tour is perfect for the first time visitor. You will see many of the highlights of the city and the canal. Richard is an amazing guide. He provided a history of panama and pointed out points of interest along the way. He had cold drinking water for us, took pictures of us, and is a safe driver. He planned the itinerary so that we were at the canal when a boat was coming through the locks. He purchased our tickets for us, so we were able to not have to wait in line. He planned for the right amount of time at the canal, so we were able to watch the IMAX documentary. I highly recommend this tour and Richard.

Ask for Richard as your Guide! - Richard was a fantastic guide! He has a lot of knowledge, a pleasant personality and was intentional on making sure our experience was great! (He even brought umbrellas and rain ponchos, and ice/cold water for us). We highly recommend this tour for anyone who would like a detailed tour of the old town, the causeway, and the canal - as well as a delicious authentic Panamanian lunch stop.

Great experience - Richard was great and very punctual, picking me up right on time. He was well-informed about the Panama Canal and particularly knowledgeable about the old city, discussing the various people in Panama and their religions.

A definite must visit when in Panama - My experience at the Panama Canal was awesome, this tour company was efficient and prompt...from the pickup to the drop off, Tony ensure we were comfortable and provided a wealth of knowledge about Panama during the drive, while answering our many questions also a few stops for photos.
At the Canal itself it was amazing to see the various container ships passing through, but watching the video on the process of how it all started and the day to day running is truly remarkable, so don't skip this presentation...you'll be marveled by the whole experience...I highly recommend this tour company and Viator for your booking needs when visiting Panama.
