Excelente. El guía Luis fue increíble. Nos explicó todo acerca del Canal. Es un tour corto de 2 horas y media.

It is nice to watch ships passing through the historic locks although you will be sitting directly in afternoon sun if you come at that time. The movie seems to be geared to making Panamanian 2nd graders feel good about themselves and is not worth seeing if you are not part of that demographic. You will learn virtually nothing about the construction of the canal from the movie other than it was first attempted at a high cost of lives by the French. The museum is slightly better, unsure if it is about the canal or Panamanian natural history. The visitor center in Colon is much better.

Center itself is good. Do not spend crazy money on overpriced “tours” the Miraflores entrance fee is $20 for non resident adults and free for kids under six. You get most of not all offered here included in that price. Taxis are safe and cheap. Uber even cheaper. So easy to do this yourself do not waste your money.
