Fuerte Amador First Time - Need help picking a tour

[MattnTricia]

Recent Reviews have the Aerial Tram and the Panama train with mixed if not somewhat poor reviews. 

 

We don't really have interest in seeing Embera Village.  

 

Any other suggestions?  We are on Princess last week of December but are OK with non Princess excursion. 

 

TIA

If you think you would want to have a little more in depth look at the original locks as you will be using the new locks for your transit, then there are 2 tours that would work.  The first is a visit to Miraflores Locks along with an IMAX presentation narrated by Morgan Freeman.  The other Locks excursion variant would include Miraflores and a trip across the Isthmus to see the new Locks at Agua Clara.  Nice chance to see some of the countryside.  The shore excursion that takes you to Panama Viejo to see the ruins of the first city which was founded in 1519, then on to Casco Antiguo where the city was located after Henry Morgan completed some urban renewal, is popular.  Usually part of this tour involves a little walking in the Casco.
