Great tour guides that were very knowledgeable! We saw different species of monkeys and some crocodiles too! If I could go again, I would bring a banana to feed the monkeys; they go to whoever has the food!

This tour was excellent. Our guide, Marcial, knew a lot not only about the stops throughout the tour but went into detail about this history of the city, the country, and the people. I really felt that we got so much out of our time with him. He shared a lot about the canal, and the flora/fauna of the area. We got to cruise through the canal, which was one of the highlights of the trip! During the boat tour, we saw a baby crocodile and a few monkeys! Bring bug repellent, you will need it at Summit. Marcial was punctual and had a very approachable demeanor. He took his time with us and could converse in English and Spanish. We definitely lucked out with him! This company did provide a light snack and had bottled water available plus fruit juice, but if you need something more, make sure you bring it along. All in all, it is a tour I’d totally recommend, 200%!Not a fan. I realize that I am in a country that I do not speak the language and I need to be patient but not happy with the operator of this tour.

Not a fan. I realize that I am in a country that I do not speak the language and I need to be patient but not happy with the operator of this tour. Nobody seemed to know who we were except the driver who picked us up and also what tour we were on. We never recived lunch or admission into Summit Park like the tour had promised. With that said we made the best of it. Our walking tour at the resort was decent, and our boat ride as part of the Canal was enjoyable. Would recommend to take advantage of the transportation provided from the City as Uber is tough to find any cell coverage this far away from the city. But would not do this tour again
Easy going, great natural scenery, easy going tour

Tour description and what happened are quite different. The boat ride was very short,less than an hour. There was no disembarking the boat, no kayaking, nothing but a very short boat ride. We then went to a nature preserve which was a poor excuse for a zoo. We were given a stale sandwich and a drink to picnic with. The most expensive tour that we took and most disappointing.
trip around gatun lake fantastic. Saw capuchino and howler monkies, alligator, iguana and turtle.
kayak ride OK. lUNCH ok
