Great trip, loved the monkeys and the views of the canals - The tour was great. The tour guide, Orlando, was very knowledgeable, friendly and went out of his way to be sure everyone was comfortable and enjoying the tour. The visits to both sides (the Pacific and Atlantic) of the canal was fascinating. We had already been to the Miraflores Locks but the Agua Clara locks were a lot emptier so we were able to better see the ships and how the locks work. The drive through the jungle/rain forest area was beautiful but the highlight was a boat ride through Lake Gatun. Orlando was able to entice monkeys to jump on our boat. Between the scenery, the monkeys, and the ships in the lake on their way to the locks this was a great boat ride. A full day, but definitely worth it.
