Best tour and tour guide ever. Would definitely suggest to anyone. The locks were amazing to see. The monkeys were friendly and funny.

A must do in Panama City!

A must see in Panama City! The guide was very punctual and informative. We thought seeing the canal would be the best part, but being able to see the animals and interact with them (as much as allowed by regulation, of course!) was a big surprise.

Such a fun experience

Dan, our tour guide, is a real gem. He's very knowledgeable about the history of the Panama Canal, and his enthusiasm made for a great tour. We saw several different types of monkeys, it was great to view them in the natural setting of monkey Island. I'd definitely recommend this tour to anyone visiting Panama.

Good tour

Very good tour. Interesting see the canal locks and fun to see the monkeys. The Mia Flores lock visitors center was extremely crowded making it hard to view easily. The tour guide could have been a bit more careful with his driving, which was a bit too distracted by cell phone.
