Greg and ShellyThe reality though is that every single expectation was met or exceeded by Bluefoot. Transfers were always on time and overseen by Bluefoot representatives on the ground.
We normally travel in a more self directed manner, however for this trip we felt that local travel expertise would be helpful. We made a great choice with Bluefootz, and we happily would recommend them to anyone traveling to the archipelago from overseas.
Kudos to the entire Bluefoot team.
