We had a great and... - We had a great and Informative boat tour through the canal. The only thing is we would have like a little more historical context about the canal while on the bus ride to the boat. The food was tasty and the staff was really friendly.

Great tour and great way to see the canal - Starts very early but worth it. Great tour and a very unique perspective of the workings of the canal. Great guide and very informative and answered all questions we had.

Awesome - We had a good time Super Mario was a great guide with lots of information and tips. We saw monkeys and slaoths and birds. The snack was tasted!

Overall a pleasant experience. - Early pick up was on time (good communication). Needed a little more instruction to board and off-board. The guide who gave the voice over on the cruise (Monty?) was great!!! Got a lot of information as we traveled. Good transportation, nice little lunch, free water/Cokes/Sprite, fairly nice bathroom on board. Overall a pleasant experience.

Panama Canal boat tour - Seeing how the locks work is fascinating. Despite some people complaining in past reviews of trouble taking photos due to number of people. I did not find that a problem and the lunch was definitely sufficient. What I did find a problem was all the waiting. Not just at the locks but on the bus. Picked up at 9:30 (last property pickup). Got to boat by 11;15, then sat on boat before it took off without any explanation for another 45 minutes. I met one lady who had been on the boat since 9:30 that am.

worthwhile historical trip - It is a well worthwhile historical trip to visit the canal. The guide in the shuttle to the canal provided us with lots of good information. The guide on-board talked non-stop and the volume was too high. I'm glad I was there.

Worth a visit - The tour is well organized. It starts at 7 a.m. and goes until noon. They offer a small breakfast and lunch, plus drinks such as water and coffee. The guide speaks Spanish and English.

Panama Canal partial transport - Slow/long wait to go thru the locks. Too many people on board. Hard to take pictures. Closest to site, last to be dropped off.

Great experience but gets boring after awhile - There's a big difference between saying 'Very Good' and 'Average', the only options available here from 3 stars to 4. It's an experience that must be had, but sadly it can become very boring after the first lot of locks (Miraflores), especially when we were told we'd be disembarking around 11am but ended up being 3pm! So glad I didn't go for full transit!

Good boat trip but the tour operator is deceitful - The boat tour itself was great. The problems started after we docked. The tour specifically says it includes entry to the Miraflores visitor center. The tour company admitted that the booking said it included the visitor center but they said it was a mistake. They refused to take us and refused to refund the cost on the entry ticket. Viator was equally as useless as they too admitted that it said it was included but they too refused to refund the cost. I have had good experiences with many other Viator tour excursions but they fumbled the ball on this one.
