We traveled on a five-plus hour private tour of the Aqua Clara Locks and the San Lorenzo Fort, with Abel Montol of Almiza Tours. These two places lay on the Atlantic Ocean side of the country, near Colon, the second most important city in Panama after Panama City. Abel, who is of Indian, Spanish and Panamanian descent, was an elementary school teacher until he decided to take up guiding two years ago, first on part-time basis for half a year then full time since. Abel arrived on time, with a new comfortable Kia sedan. Colon is nearly an hour away from Panama City and all that time, he regaled us with information on the history of the country which we highly appreciated. He had an easy-speaking style that we found very comfortable and his wealth of information was impressive. In Colon, he stopped at a grocery store to get us water and snacks, all complimentary. It was raining hard so we were afraid that the day’s tour was going to be a wash out. He did manage our expectations by explaining that the north or Atlantic side of the country was mostly rainforest so it got a lot more rain than the south or Pacific side. We did the Aqua Clara Lock visit first since he found out that there was a container ship already in the lock and another one coming. We were able to catch site of the first ship and then waited for the second mega-ship to cross. All the time, he was briefing us on additional history of the lock expansion. On the way to the Lorenzo Fort, the rain came down hard again and once again, we were apprehensive. But the rain stopped when we got there so another blessing for us. Abel took our pictures every time we would ask him. In a few cases, he would be the one to point out a photo opp spot and he would ask for the camera. Abel was very respectful to all the canal and fort administrators and guards which I found refreshing. He was extremely accommodating and highly service-oriented. We were so impressed with his guiding. He’s certainly a great asset to the country.

Truly an exceptional tour. We were only four people and our guide was amazingly knowledgeable. We were able to ask him about so many things, ranging from technical issues concerning the locks, to details about history of Panamá, and about local flora and fauna. It was definitely not a packaged tour! I highly recommend this tour!!!!

My dad and I traveled to Panama to fulfill his dream of seeing the Canal. Alonso was our guide and he was terrific. He shared history of the Canal at Agua Clara locks and in depth history of Fort San Lorenzo. We traveled by air conditioned mini bus. Alonso and the driver had a cooler of cold waters and soda for us and potato chip snacks. We had a great time and we are so glad we chose this tour.

Seeing the Panama Canal and witnessing a ship move through a lock is a special experience in itself. We had an excellent driver and the guide, I believe Alonso was his name. Between themselves they made sure we didn’t miss a wild animal, got answers to all questions, were given a lot of information about Panama, history, the Canal, nature, etc. Make sure you tip your guide if you’re happy with him / her, our was excellent. Only downside is they give you snacks so I was very hungry towards the end, as I am diabetic. Carry a sandwich or something because the tour is long and there is no place to buy food.

+ Top guide, good concept, learned a lot about the history of the Panama Canal, very worth the money, highly recommended - picture of the sloth was misleading, because the focus of the tour wasn't wildlife

Daniel, our tour guide was excellent. His very friendly attitude, knowledge of the areas covered made this tour memorable. The driver ( sorry, I didn’t get his name) was very safety conscious and he kept watching for monkeys and other wildlife for us.

What a day! Our tour guide was Abel and he was very personable and funny, and he loved to share the history and culture of Panama. He timed our visit to the locks so that we'd see a giant boat passing through, which was impressive. He brought to life the ruins of the fort. For me the best was his ability to spot animals. He spotted sloths, crocodiles, birds, monkeys, and turtles. and all logistics were smooth. Great day!

Had a great trip with Abel to the Auga Clara locks. He is very knowledgeable about a wide range of topics and was able to locate several animas along the way like sloths and crocodiles.
