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.

Excellent trip on the Panama Canal where we got to see how the locks work. The entire trip is 6 hrs long but it could be shaved off by 2 hrs. However, I don’t think that would be possible because of the disembarkation point. Would recommend it to all

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.

A long way for a short time at the snorkeling place.No water, No snacks, lunch and beach chairs extra.It was a lot of money for a driver. Very unprofessional.

We were looking for a short day tour of Panama City before our trip to Bocas del Tory and Barefoot Panama was recommended to us by our hotel in Bocas. Kevin was helpful in making sure the tour length could be accommodated in our schedule, and then happily moved our tour to a different day when our airline travel from the States changed unexpectedly. Gonzo was our tour guide and we couldn't have been happier. He provided so much history and background context for the sights we visited, starting with the Panama Canal. When the van unexpectedly broke down, he was so mortified, but quickly a second driver was arranged to take us to the Smithsonian Center, and then Gonzo met back up with us in Casco to lead us on, again, a very informative walking tour of the area. I definitely recommend Barefoot Panama and ask if you can get Gonzo as your guide - he was great!!!!

This is an excellent tour of some of the key sites in Panama City. Gonzo was a wonderful guide - he speaks perfect English and has so much information and knowledge to share about the canal, Panamanian history, wildlife and nature. While you can visit the Canal visitor center on your own, we appreciated having Gonzo with us to explain more in depth about the locks and history. The visit to Punta Culebra was great for our kids -- the highlight was seeing so many sloths! Gonzo's knowledge of Casco Viejo was also incredible and doing this tour with him on our first day was helpful to orient us to the neighborhood we were staying in. Great communication all around during the booking process, timely pick-up, and very professional company. I highly recommend this tour and Barefoot Panama!

Gonzo was a great guide. Perfect English and so knowledgeable. We went to the Monkey Islands and an Indian Village. Despite crummy weather he did his best to point out and attract monkeys and other animals. At the village, he showed such respect for the Indigenous people and their culture and they for him. Told great stories. We would’ve gone on another tour with him had one been available.

It was the most smooth part of our trip. Timely pick up, easy communication with quick responses. The best part: they were flexible. We had couple of elderly members and some vegan in our party and Jorge and Kevin were able to accommodate our specific needs without any hesitation and even gave us tips of where to go etc. Next time we travel to Panama I will be calling them again.

I would recommend this tour if you have the time. Jorge was a great guide and it was nice to get out of the city, see a bit of the national park and have some time on the water to see the container ships heading into the canal. We got lucky and ended up with a private tour since it was a slower time of year. We njoyed seeing 3 different types on monkeys on the monkey islands who will jump right on the boat and learning a bit more about the indigenous tribes of Panama. The booking process with Kevin was easy and he also helped us book the Central Hotel in Panama City which we enjoyed. (great pool on the roof and location) We got dropped off around 12 at the Miraflores Lock and made the 12:15 movie and had brought a sandwich lunch to have there. Unfortunately the next boat didn't come through til 3:30pm so we didn't wait around for that and just ended up taking an uber back to Casco Viejo.

Kevin set us up with a great custom golf tour. The hotels and golf courses he chose for us were excellent. The food, city/canal and El Valle tours were excellent as well! His communication skills and attention to detail were amazing. We would recommend Barefoot Panama to all our friends!

We have done a few tours with this company. Always amazing Looking forward to the next one . Amazing suggestions for lunch , informative and so fun

The personal attention was fantastic. Jorge picked us up at the airport and drove us around town while he kept track of the schedule for ships to go through the Panama Canal. There was some type of traffic jam at the Canal. He took us to a place at the mall called El Trapiche for lunch and I was very hesitant because I asked for authentic Panamanian food. He said "trust me" and I'm so glad I did! Everyone dining was a local and the food was delicious! He walked with us around Casco Viejo, including a fabulous coffee shop called Unido. We finally made our way to the Panama Canal just as a huge cargo ship was making its way through the channels. Perfect timing by Jorge! He then dropped us off at our hotel. The price included airport pickup, Panama Canel & iMax movie, plus a personal tour guide. We only spent 1 day in Panama City, and it was perfect. Highly recommend!!

This was extremely well rounded. We got to see a little bit of everything. It was a fabulous introduction and a good way to spend your first day in Panama, so you can see where you want to spend more concentrated time. Guide was excellent! Due to a national holiday, we were unable to go to the nature park, but they tried to show us sloths in the wild anyway, and we saw some!

Jorge did a great job of driving us around the Canal areas, to the visitor center and the ruins of the Fort. We had a nice lunch at the Marina. A good way to spend 4+ hours. Colon is not full of fascinating places, and we were pleased to see what we did. The van was pleasantly comfortable - and there were monkeys in the trees above the road to the Fort -- a bonus!

The views were all awesome. It was a treat to see Panama City, the Panama Canal and Casco Antiguo! The experience was so much more than a tour-it was like a crash course in Panama history! I have been on multiple tours with Barefoot Panama and all of them were excellent. The locations are beautiful and the vast kinowlege of the tour guides make a tremendous difference on the tours. The next time I visit Panama I will tour with them again.
