More to Panama City than the Canal - I had expected that the highlight of the tour would be exploring the Canal and it was great. Our tour guide Roger also took us on a tour of the old town part of Panama City. He was very knowledgeable and proud of his city. That came through and made the tour wonderful.

I had an eight hour layover in... - <p>I had an eight hour layover in Panama City and booked this tour the night before. My guide was there to meet me, took me on a fabulous tour of Panama City and the Canal he made sure there was a ship going through when we arrived. Panama City and Panama are surprisingly beautiful and the Canal is a must see. you will not regret it if you appreciate a marvel of human engineering and the history of its construction.</p>

It was a good idea, but it did not... - <p>It was a good idea, but it did not work out as well as we hoped. Our guide was late. We had 5 hours tour, but we defiantly did not see 5 hours worth of sites. In our 5 hours, we saw 3 sites and had time to eat. I would not recommend this tour.</p>
