We recently took an excursion from a cruise ship that was operated by Panama Excursions. We were tendered from the ship in Gatun Lake and met by our guide at the marina. Our tour included Casco Viejo and the Miraflores Locks/visitor center.
Due to the pickup location, this was a full day tour and was very "busy" outside of the bus ride. We enjoyed seeing the locks even though no ships were transiting at the time. The visitor center has an IMAX movie on the canal that is very well done.
We had a fairly short tour of Colonial Panama City, which was pretty good. It was hot and the guide didn't always find shade. I appreciated that there was a snack provided even though that wasn't indicated in the tour description.
Our guide was good but could be loud at times.
We enjoyed our day and would use this company again.
