    Loved working with Barefoot Panama. Kevin was super responsive and informative. He helped plan a great trip with all the attention to detail. Jorge was the driver and he was professional, punctual, and knowledgeable. Everything was well run and smooth. We had the best time and would highly recommend for all ages!

  • Using several days for different tours with this company I can say money well spent

    We spent 10 days in Panama and encompassed using barefoot tours for several of those. Monkey Island was phenomenally fun. Then the trip to Pearl Islands was the absolute best relaxation of all. Top it out with the city tour, including the Old Town and you have a lot to absorb tour guys were the absolute best. Thank you very much for making our first trip to Panama the beginning of many to come

    My family (6 adults and 2 kids) booked all of our excursions for the week with Barefoot Panama. Kevin was amazing to email back and forth, I let him know what my family wanted to do and see and he made it happen. They also handled all of our transport from airport, to beach resort and to then to the hotel in the city combined with a Panama canal tour so we made the most of our travel days. Thank you to Kevin, Jorge, and Antony for taking such good care of my family and I! I would highly recommend their company

  • Thumbs up: Monkeys and wildlife and Indian Village is OK

    Overall great excursion and would recommend! We enjoyed being on the canal and seeing the large ships. Great time on the water, viewing of lots of wildlife and monkeys! The guide was knowledgeable and enthusiastic! Note that the entire time you're in a boat, you don't get to walk on the island to see the monkeys. Our kids did fine, but could be hard for under age 6 because it's a lot of sitting. I would say the Indian Village is a little forced (?) and fabricated, but the rainforest walk on the island is interesting. While it was educational, but I was curious to see the display of handicrafts of the exact same things (woven baskets with the exact pattern) at the souvenier shops in town. If the indigenous group is your primary interest, I wouldn't do this tour.

    Excellent tour run by an excellent company! If touring in Panama, contact the experts - Barefoot Panama! Great way to see wildlife up close and have a cultural experience with the native village presentation and dance. My students loved both of these tours!

    It was a wonderful experience! Our tour guide Gonzo is the best guide you could ask for. He is knowledgeable, friendly, funny and obviously has great rapport with the indigenous people who live in the village we visited, which helped make our visit even more enjoyable and memorable. Thank you Gonzo!

  • Lake Gatun

    This was the best tour we have taken so far in Panama. Our guide Gonzales was incredible. His knowledge and enthusiasm were perfect. On Lake Gatun he showed us monkeys, birds, sloth, bats and even a crocodile. The experience was unique. I sing the village was interesting as well since Gonzales was so know about the culture and art. He took us on a short hike and pointed out different trees and their use in daily life. The entire tour was very enjoyable. I highly recommend this tour. (The guide goes by Gonzo…for future reference)
