We were on a Panama Canal cruise with a one day stop in Panama City. As we are seriously considering retirement in Latin America, Panama has been at the top of our list to persue. We booked a tour with Barefoot Panama stressing that we wanted an Ex Pat point of view, as well someone to show us the sights!!... More

After much research and reading, we booked the Taste of the Tropics tour. We thought it offered the best option for a small group experience and our wish to see as much of the country in the time we had. We added an extra day in Boquete and 2 nights in Bocas. Much to our surprise and delight we were... More

Kevin was by far one of the best tour guides I have ever had! Yes he is an American guide but his knowledge and passion from living in Panama for 10 years is amazing! It was fantastic and he is as flexible and accommodating as he can be! I wish I had more time in Panama City I would have... More

Instead of have the Caribbean tour we went Island hopping, had a bbq on the boat and etc. Overall I had a great time on each tour, Kevin is awesome and he really knows... More

Simply put, hands down, no doubt about it .... without Barefoot Panama a Panama visit is incomplete. Kevin was beyond any rating I can give; personable, knowledgeable and simply a joy to spend 6 -8 hours with in a day. His knowledge is deep, his passion intense and willingness to share is beyond compare. Never mind the lack of logo(ed)... More

My wife and I did the Panama City and Canal Tour with Jeff and had a great time. The price is reasonable, and Jeff shared a lot of interesting information about the area and the history. He even was able to inform us about the garbage dump fire that was leaving a haze over the city. The locks are cool... More

We spent the day with Kevin as a small group of five. We enjoyed Kevins good natured peronality. We wanted something other than a canned tourist package. Kevin arranged for a guided boat ride along the Multiflora section of Panama canel. We saw crocs, monkeys and got a good explanation of the natural vegetation. All in All we really enjoyed... More

I really enjoyed this tour. I normally don't like to spend money on tours because I think I can explore on my own, but this one was totally worth it. It was amazing to see the canal from a boat, and the guide was entertaining without being over the top. It was a great value. I would send all my... More

Tour was ok…overpriced for what it was. The Indian Village was a joke…the “Indians” just showed up for the tourists..it’s not authentic--typical tourist attraction. Best part was the tour guide, Jeff…he was very friendly, personable and knowledgeable.

thanks for the review. this tour is a much better deal than doing either the lake OR village, as we combine the 2 for the same price as most companies charge for 1 and your terribly mistaken about the ONLY true indian village in the area, the Wouaan tribe moved to this area to aid the U.S. solders in the...

I just returned from 6 days in Panama, and can't say enough about my experience with Barefoot Panama. Kevin is extremely knowledgeable and personable, and treats his patrons not only with respect, but as if he has been friends with them for years. My personal highlights included the Caribbean Adventure(snorkeling, ziplining, tubing), a day on Isla Toboga(beautiful beach), and a... More
