I definetly vote for the Ocean to Ocean Train tour at Colon. There is a lot of crime outside of the port area including the Free Zone. The train was beautiful with an English speaking guide on each car and on each motor coach. The ability to have a narrated explanation of the workings of the Miraflores Lock was very interesting giving a land and sea perspective. Driving and stopping at various places including the Balboa Yacht Club and the Panama Bay area where wonderful experiences not to be missed.

Also, I enjoyed my private tour at Limon, Costa Rica. We went with the Tortugera Canal and Banana Plantation tour which we purchased at the Tented area with a complete sign listing the tours with the prices. Therefore, you don't need to haggle. we made many stops for photo opportunities and the fare included the canal boat ride & tour and a thorough walking tour inside the Dole Banana Plantation. Our guide Humberto even took us to a local supermarket at my request. We shared our taxi with another couple and had a great safe day at $45 per couple.

Bon Voyage
