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.

Best of the Best!! - I've been on several tours in several countries. This was by far the best. Most experienced tour group I have ever seen. If you want to see Panama City, the Canal, and Old Town, book this tour. They can handle small groups and groups of 100 or more.

Panama City Tour. - Jose was awesome. We were a little crowded in the car, but we made it work. The actual tour was great, saw a great deal of the city and surrounding area. The canal exhibit and show was first class. And Jose took us to an authentic Panamanian restaurant for an incredible lunch. I would do this tour with them again. Well done, punctual and very hospitable. Thank you.

Great tour! Great Guide! - We loved it! We were a group of 5 and the tour fit perfectly into our short stay in Panama. Seeing the canal ticked one more thing off our bucket list. Thank you so much.

Really pleased with my tour! - First of all, I need to let you know that I had only 4 hours to make a tour, as I had an 8 hour layover in Panama...so I was really pleased to be able to make my own choices of what I wanted to see and do. The pick up and the drop off at the airport was seamless. I didn't have to wait, Kevin was waiting for me. I really liked the walking tour of the city and also the IMAX of the Panama Canal. It was perfect for the time that I had, and I felt really secure as a solo female traveller. I would definitely recommend.
