    The tour was very nice and our guide Alejandro was very polite and we had fun with him, going on the lake alone is every relaxing, not to mention seeing and feeding those monkeys in the islands. All in all great tour. And pick up was on time. The price I think is a bit expensive for what the tour is

    Excellent tour! We saw lots of monkeys, a crocodile, a sloth up close, iguanas, lots of birds and of course, the big cargo ships crossing the canal. Our guide Alejandro was very friendly, knows a lot and explains the history of the canal very well. The captain of our boat was very good at finding animals. We did the excursion in the morning before our flight and it was perfect as the last day.
