    Panama Canal Coast to Coast done expertly
    Wendy_K, Apr 2024
    To be able to learn the history of the Panama Canal as well as the people of Panama from such an enthusiastic and knowledgeable person such as Mario made the day seem like an hour. There is so much more to learn and I have so many pictures I post but I think you just need to go see for your self. The people of Panama should be very proud of their accomplishments. The inner workings of the Panama Canal is amazing.

    Best Panama Canal Tour!

    Mario, our tour guide was greatest. Two days before the tour, I received an email through viator from Mario looking forward to seeing us soon. Before booking, I compared 6 tours visiting Panama Canal. So far, this company stands out because it has the most detailed explanation of the tour and what to expect. The day prior, Mario got in touch with us via WhatsApp. What stands out regarding this WhatsApp message was Mario was kind enough to reach out, asking how we are doing, confirmed the tour for the next day, what time we'll meet and where and he also sent us his business card with the picture and plate number of the vehicle we'll be using. He asked about our preferred drinks and gave recommendations on where to visit in the area where we are staying. Of all the tours I have been to, this was the first time I have ever encountered such a great and unique service even before the tour started. It was personalized, which is great because it gave you confidence about the company and we were able to plan our morning. On the day of the tour, true to his word, Mario was not on time BUT ahead of time. We were on the road 2 mins before the actual tour should start. I didn't expect that it was only me and my friend going on the tour which made it feel like a private one. Mario knows what he is doing. He made sure me, and my friend are comfortable. Mind you, my friend speaks only Spanish and I only English. But Mario made sure that he would explain in both languages and not make one feel left out. The most challenging part was the timing of the ships passage through the canal. Mario made sure we did not waste any time. The ship was 2 hours late to pass through Gatun lock, but Mario took us to see Colon instead of waiting. We avoided the crowds in Miraflores because of Mario's proactiveness in prioritizing on getting the entrance and IMAX tickets when we passed by it earlier in the day. So, when we went back in the afternoon, we don't have to line up for ticket and saw another ship pass through. On top of it, Mario made sure we'd see the important events in the building of the Panama Canal. The quality of service, proactiveness, time management and friendliness were unremarkable to the point that we invited Mario to join us for dinner. It's not like other tours that would bring you to shops for commission or recommend a place for commission. It was like having our own private local friend touring us in Panama. He even took pictures of us on his phone and sent it to us through WhatsApp. He followed up on how we were doing the next day and the day of our departure. I have nothing but good words for this company. They just stated a year ago and they are really setting the bar on how a tour company should operate and treat their clients. I felt how proud Mario is of his country, Panama and how much he wanted to share and make sure we'll experience all the best Panama has to offer. Highly recommend this company.

    Mario was an excellent tour guide. He was very knowledgeable at explaining the history of the Panama Canal and gave us tips on places to visit during our stay.
    Response from Host, Sep 2023
