An amazing layover tour to the Panama Canal Miraflores Locks! Our guide went above and beyond to personalize our short trip, take care of us and educate us on his country. Highly recommend and loved every moment!
Our tour was amazing! Our guide was very knowledgable and very nice. Even though our flight was behind and it took a long time to get through customs, he was still able to give us a great experience. Would highly recommend this tour and company.
