Tour was good after taking cab to travel agency. Bus driver walked by us in hotel lobby without identifying herself and we had to take cab.

Great once in a life time experience but it would be even better if they did not book so many people on the boat not enough seats for everyone the food supplied was really good plenty of it as well as drinks which helps with the heat.

Our guide was somewhat inexperienced - not saying he was bad, but he was young and really did not provide much information that could have not been read in the museum. We did not feel like we saw much of the city. $60 for the tour is an overkill - take a taxi to all destinations, especially if your party is more than one - taxi is very cheap in Panama - you can get anywhere within tour's reach for $3. You will save time and money and will not lose on quality.

We had a great time and the captain and pilot were very nice. Tour guide was also very nice and the lunch really hit the spot. The bus ride to and from the departure point was not fun. Way too long and would have been better to get smaller vans to drive tourist.

Excellent cruise, wonderful knowledgable guide with great English, interesting experience. Our only frustration was with the transportation - they tell everyone to be ready for a 6am pick up, and then several of us were picked up only at 7:30 or 8. There should be a better system of tightening that window.

Great tour of Panama City and the Panama Canal. Tour guide "Kevin" was very knowledgeable and answered all of my questions. I recommend the tour.

The transit cruise itself was great; the announcer said all his remarks in Spanish and English and took individual photos of guests for sale ($10).
Unfortunately the bus transport to the transit was more than 2 hours late in arriving to our hotel, and then the bus driver did not seem to know where he was going. We passed our hotel 4 more times while picking up other guests, and were the last to board the transit cruise. After the cruise, an appropriate bus was not waiting, and we again were delayed in the heat for more than 45 minutes waiting for transportation. We had updated phone numbers but none of the numbers were accurate. Many of the passengers called repeatedly, but there was either no answer or when someone answered, they denied knowing anything about the tour.
