The world-famous Panama Canal is a must-see for visitors to Panama City, but to fully appreciate it, head to the Miraflores Locks. The engineering marvel in action is a mesmerizing scene, with some 700 tons (635 tonnes) of machinery, reinforced against the mighty Pacific, and cargo-laden ships squeezing through with just inches to spare.

Bypass Colon
I was originally not going on a tour after seeing/reading about Colon. Colon is not a clean or safe city. This tour bypassed Colon and we traveled to Panama City which is about 45 minutes away. I'm so glad I booked this tour, Panama City is beautiful, clean and a historic gem. I give our driver and our tour guide an A+.

A day well worth the time.
Excellent guide. Excellent driver. Our guide was very knowledgeable about the old and new Panama City in addition to the history of the Panama Canal. Most importantly, he knew how to organize our day so that we could be present at the Miraflores locks for an actual ship transit and still get back to our ship on time. As an added benefit, the tour offered cold drinks, chips and sweets.

Good tour
We had a good experience with Milton on our cruise excursion day in Panama. This tour did a fine job in taking us from the Atlantic to the Pacific, over land, learning the history of the Panama Canal, explaining the engineering and the impact that the canal has had on the Panamanian people. It was exactly what we wanted - to land-tour before we crossed the canal the next day.

I can only recommend all people to visit the Panama Canal
I really enjoyed to visit the different locks along the Panama Canal. Especially the visit at the new Locks (Aguas Clares) was really a scoop (but I could have used much more time here). And by a very good luck I saw the cruise ship (which I was going to sail onboard north via the canal two days later) heading south towards Panama City. Everybody talk about saling on he Panama Canal. but was also very interesting for me to watch the ship movements from "the shores" of the canal.
