What Travelers Say About Their Experience
Real experiences. Thoughtfully designed journeys across Ecuador and the Galápagos.
“So glad we found this company! They made our trip a blast! The guides are very knowledgeable and fun, and the price was very good for all we got to do! I don’t know if you can recommend your driver if you need one
— but get Edwin if you can. He was so sweet and helpful to all of us. Great company! Highly recommend!”

“I recently traveled to Galapagos with the help of Diego at Barefoot Expeditions. I was overwhelmed with what to see and how to go about picking the islands, hotels, and tours. Diego created an itinerary for me that would allow us to island hop and see what the Galapagos is all about. Truly amazing!!! Diego was responsive to my questions while I was there and connected me with fabulous locals. I highly recommend!”

“We had a great tour with Diego. They had excellent recommendations for places to visit and eat, and we had a comfortable, relaxing time. The visit to Mindo was especially fun — from ziplines to waterfall hikes to great pizza for lunch. Would highly recommend to anyone traveling in the area, especially families looking to experience the sights and experiences around Quito!”

Ecuador Adventure Loop - 6D/5N
Fantastic Family trip
Review of Barefoot Expeditions – Day Tours
Our family of 4- kids 11 and 16- spent two weeks travelling through Ecuador with Barefoot. We went on their adventure loop on the mainland with Diego and spent 5 nights in the Galapagos island hopping. First of all Diego was fantastic- he went above and beyond to ensure we had fun- including getting me through a panic attack in the middle of canyoning! WE LOVED IT! The Galapagos was great as well, but I have to say our time with Diego was the highlight!
