Fun day! - We really enjoyed our tour! It was well structured but relaxed, informative yet entertaining! I am really glad we went! My only advice is to pack water as it was quite hot and it was not always available for purchase.

Fantastic company to help you curate your Panama experience! - Barefoot Panama provided an incredible experience for our camp participants and staff. Kevin worked with us to customize the week, which ranged from a walking tour through Casco Viejo, to snorkeling in the Bay of Portobelo, to ziplining, to an insightful tour of Wounaan Village. Big shout out to our tour guide Jorge, who provided entertaining and interesting details about Panama as we explored the country, and was an absolute joy to work with. You should definitely book Barefoot for your Panama travels - they provide a safe and enjoyable experience for you as you see all that the country has to offer!

Great company always on time and excellent knowledge of the area. - Bare foot is an excellent touring company. I booked 3 tours with them based on Kevin’s (the owner) recommendation. This gave us great taste of Panama City. All his staff are very knowledgeable and extremely courteous. I would strongly recommend them for all your tours in Panama.

Eight thumbs up! - We did the Panama Canal/City tour with Jose. He spoke excellent English and as it was just the four family members and him it was a “private tour.” His vehicle was very comfortable and he was always opening and closing doors for us. He was very knowledgeable and guided us to the best areas of the tour for the best views/photos. Old town can’t be missed when visiting Panama City. We were fortunate to miss alot of the crowds as it was Carnaval week and most people had left the City. This tour came highly recommended and did not disappoint.

A day in Panama City - Our cruise ship had a full day stop in Panamá City and Kevin arranged an interesting tour for our group of 6 people. Jorge, our driver/guide, was a joy to have. His commentary was excellent and he gave us the time we needed at the various stops.

3 days of tours - We were a group of 8 extended family members. We spent 3 days with Barefoot Panama. We did the Canal and City tour, the Monkey Island & Indigenous village and finally, the Caribbean Adventure. We were lucky enough to have Gonzo for our tour guide the first 2 days. Gonzo was great at giving us more and more information about our locations, the history of the places or the people we met. These were 2 fantastic days. Our Caribbean Adventure was enjoyable, but we did not realize the amount of driving around that we had to do. We were gone from our hotel for 12 hours. The smirking was just ok, but the zip line was great. Juan was a good guide, but we got very little information outside of the basics. We stayed at the Westin Playa Bonita and that made this day a lot longer because of traffic delays getting back. Overall, Barefoot was a great experience.
