FROM 3,139 * After several expeditions arranged by Wildfoot, our most recent trip was to Galápagos and Ecuador. Simon and his team were able to give first-hand knowledge about the country. Every detail was arranged by Wildfoot. Always find Wildfoot to be sympathetic in finding good value and I look forward to many more trips organised by Wildfoot Travel. NATALIE WILDFOOT GALAPAGOS EXPERT My first visit to The Galapagos was a long-awaited wildlife pilgrimage. Since then, this unique destination has been equally impressive on every occasion. It s easy to see why Charles Darwin was so drawn to this beautiful place and the amazing wildlife. I love using my first-hand knowledge to help customers arrange their trips, making sure they see the Galpagos in their own very personal way.
