Lydia H.United States
This tour was everything I hoped it would be. I got to see different parts of Panama City and the Panama Canal. I got to see a few ships passing through the canal. Chris was a wonderful tour guide. He explained everything was very considerate as to where he dropped us off and picked us up. I never felt rushed. I highly recommend him and the tour.
Arnie R.United States
Chris was terrific. He knew the ins and outs of everything. Got to the visitors center and canal early so we got a good show of the last two ships going through that morning. He was on time, pleasant and informative. Would highly recommend him.
Charles H.
Chris was a good tour guide - he was flexible and open to some changes we wanted, and he did a great tour of Panama City.
Caron W. W.United States
Chris was a considerate, enthusiastic, and knowledgeable guide. He was able to give us a later pick up time because he rearranged the order of sights we requested based on traffic, unscheduled events ocurring, and canal delays which he had information on. We saw much more in a day than we would have seen without him. He was enjoyable to be with for the day and is highly recommended.
