Diego and Kerstin were fantastic from the beginning to the end. I am a 39 year old woman traveling with two girls ages 15 and 18. They were exactly what I needed for my first international travel without my husband or son. Kerstin was very communicative before we arrived and during our stay. (In addition to an adventure, they arranged... More

Barefoot Expeditions was recommended by a travel agent and the reviews on tripadvisor were amazing. Then when we booked our excursion to Galapagos with Barefoot they exceeded our extremely high expectations. Kerstin at Barefoot got back to us immediately concerning any of our questions or concerns before, during, and after our trip (we forgot an iPad on Isabella). We booked... More

They also accompanied us to Baños and Otavalo. Among the highlights were: • a fabulous culinary tour of Quito, including a visit to the home of Gabriella who taught us how... More

This is the best way to see the galapagos and get a real feel for the place as you get to stay in local hotels and use local restaurants instead of staying on a boat for the whole time. The whole process was brilliant from the organising at the start all the way through to the end. The guides were... More

Kerstin helped us plan a week vacation to tour the Galapagos. We went on the boat the Odyssey, and found that the 6 day-5 night tour, with a night in Quito before and after the tour, was perfect. From the tour guide to the cabins to the food to the crew, the boat was great. And the Galapagos Islands were... More
