Barefoot Panama Won't Disappoint! - I did both the Panama City Day tour and the round trip day tour to Colon to visit the Gatun locks and San Lorenzo Fort. Kevin was very helpful and responsive in booking and confirming the tours and Jorge our guide for both tours certainly knows his stuff. Aside from his knowledge of local history, cultural influences and current life in Panama, he is engaging and has a fun sense of humour. He met us at the scheduled time and was flexible in adjusting the tours to meet the interests of the group. You wouldn't go wrong with Jorge as your guide. The van for both tours was clean, comfortable and air conditioned. Highly recommended!

Fantastic. Highly recommend Barefoot. All the Tees were crossed and I's dotted. - Jorge was great. Some of our family only speak English, Some only Spanish. He was great at accomodating us in that manner and all others. If I truly was searching for a recommendation to make I would suggest grabbing a case of water to distribute. Add it to the cost if necessary. But again just constructive criticism. Everything was perfect. Quality and cleanliness of transportation, Uniformed tour guide, Respectful and punctual and very accomodating. Our group of 12 ranged from 4 years old to 90. Not an easy group to manage. Jorge did it with ease!

Best way to begin your adventures in Panama City, Panama - Levy was our tour guide. We had a super great day. He knew the knowledge of everything in front of him when any question was asked. They were on time courteous and said a pace that matched the clientele. Highly recommend this and any other tour by this company

Great Tour - Went with tour guide Jose. He was excellent. He showed up on time and got into the Canal in time to get the best spot to see the boats coming through the canal. He will keep Pushing but will slow down if you want to purchase or see anything that may interest you.

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!
