    Amazing in a short few words. We were meeting after so many years and are glad we chose Andaman as the perfect venue. Barefoot were perfect hosts and from the cars to tour managers all were exceptional. From cold water, wet tissue, haldiram snacks during tours they took care of everything. Will recommend barefoot to anyone with pleasure planning a trip to Andamans.

    Inspite of bad weather and us not being able to visit Havelock Island the Barefoot team arranged alternatives and went out of there way to ensure we were comfortable. I also understand that inspite of being under high pressure due to the unique situation they handled the situation wonderfully. Marshal who was with us from morning till evening did a fabulous job. Marshal is a rock star! Shall come back soon and hopefully weather will be better next time!
