We had a great tour. Although there was protests in Panama at the time of our tour that required to modify our itinerary, Michelle came up with a Plan B that was outstanding. She was very professionnal and we really enjoyed our visit in Panama. I highly recommand Michelle for future tours.

Michelle picked us up promptly at Fuerte Amador and provided some excellent information about Panama City on our way to the Miraflores Locks. After seeing a ship heading through the locks she gave us a nice overview of the Panama Canal history through the multi-level display. Then to the Aqua Clara new locks where we saw a short movie and a ship through the locks and had a great lunch! This is a great option for cruisers that want a small group experience and want to see the Old and New locks.
