Beyond 100% - This is not an option. You have to do this and with Dimos. He’s the best guide I’ve had the pleasure of meeting. His knowledge, presence and attention to the group’s wants was beyond expectations. 1000% Dimos for the win!!!

Out of this world experience - My experience was one I will never forget. The wonder of the Panama Canal had me in awe. I appreciated seeing the documentry by Morgan Freeman because, if you didn't understand the operations it definitely explained it all. Our guide Primos did a superb job keeping us informed and ensuring our safety. I highly recommend this tour.

Excellent Intro to Panama City - Great overview for first time visitors of the locks, with very informative movie, the surrounding areas, and old town. Walking through old town was a highlight, the buildings and churches are spectacular. Our guide, Javier, was excellent and I'd highly recommend.

Recommend - This was a great tour with very knowledgeable guides. Our driver even stopped to let us see a sloth along the highway. We watched a sip pass through the locks, which was fascinating.

Excellent Intro to Panama City - This tour was the perfect introduction to Panama City! Going to Miriflores Locks to see and learn about the amazing Panama Canal, touring the surrounding areas and understanding the impact the US military had here, walking through the old town area and seeing the old builings and churches. I would highly recommend this tour for anyone. There is some walking involved, FYI. We learned so much, thank you, Javier!

Good experience - Ronaldo was personable, knowledgeable, and fun to listen to. The agenda was also great. Every stop was worthwhile and he made a point to stop in a few places where we could take good pictures.
