Lightfoot Travel (Singapore)

My first time with Lightfoot Travel on a Solo bespoke tour of Gansu China was fulfilling and a truly satisfying experience. Thank You Nikki for designing an engaging itinerary that takes me beyond the usual tourist traps at a very balanced pace, allowing me to enjoy a variety of experience within a very short time frame. My guide Jane, was flexible, responsive and very accommodating, riding on horses with me into an unexpected snow storm and through challenging terrain, always with a smile and making sure I am safe and comfortable every step of the way. I had quite an adventure and looking forward to planning my next travel destination with Nikki and Lightfoot.

My sister's family and I booked a trip to Oman through Lightfoot two years ago. The entire experience was wonderful, starting from the initial contact with the company to the end of the trip. Nikki, our consultant, was helpful and efficient, able to provide well-considered options for us based on our interests. The trip itself was well-organised, with excellent guides, transfer arrangement and all the hotels were gorgeous. My nephew is still talking about the accommodation one year after the trip! We are now booking a second trip with Lightfoot, because we know that we will be assured of a great trip again :)

First time engaging Lightfoot Travel to arrange a safari trip to Botswana in July 2024. The planning was done to the dot, with plenty of useful advice pre-trip (e.g. packing list, restaurant recommendations, cultural awareness, transit advice etc.). Every step of the way I felt very well taken care of, enabling us to soak in the beauty of Botswana in a care-free manner. Thank you Nico Heath and his team for curating a truly unforgettable experience for us. I would not hesitate to use Lightfoot Travel again for my next adventure.

I engaged Lightfoot travel for a trip to Ecuador and the Galapagos and it was amazing. Olie was my tour consultant and he was very responsive and made good recommendations on how to adjust my itinerary according to my travel plans. They also compiled my itinerary for my self-booked travel portions to ensure the whole process was seamless in case of any travel disruptions. The tour arrangements were really great - good accommodations, knowledgeable tour guides, delicious food and restaurants, as well as additional advice for self-exploration. They also had a very good packing list and travel preparation tips which came in very handy. Would definitely book with them again and I've also recommended them to friends and family. :) Here are some photos from my trip. For more, you can check out my instagram melz_ong .

I engaged Nikki from Lightfoot Travel for a family trip to Mongolia. It was one of the best decisions I made! On hindsight, Lightfoot Travel is on the pricey end.. but so worth it. Nikki accommodated to the changes I made and she has also settled the best for me and my family. We got to live in the Gobi Desert and spend some quality time with the nomads. We also got to explore the Ulaanbaatar. Don't get me started on the food! It was so good! We loved our holiday in Mongolia.. and this is all thanks to Lightfoot Travel and the Mongolian team.

i would highly recommend lightfoot travel to anyone looking to plan an epic vacation that you'll remember for a lifetime. we've travelled with them to jordan/oman and tanzania, both of which were impeccably organised. nikki and nico took into account my parents' mobility, accomodation requirements and my father's love of photography in mapping out wonderful, comprehensive itineraries for us. our guides were knowledgeable, patient and such great company throughout our trips, and ensured we were always comfortable and safe. all information pertaining to the trips could be also be accessed via their vamoos app, which made everything so easy and straightforward. we have an upcoming trip to china scheduled for this october and are looking into galapagos and peru for 2025, and have utmost confidence that we'll have a truly enjoyable and unique experience each and every time. thank you, lightfoot travel!

I have used Lightfoot multiple times they have organised a trip to Paris and Langkawi for me. They also organised the raffles hotel with my fiancé for a surprise for his proposal and a testament to how well they do we are using lightfoot for our honeymoon going to multiple safari camps in Zambia followed by the Maldives. I continue to use Lightfoot due to their personal touches and seamless planning of our trips making each trip special and unique. From a personal letter and champagne arriving when we got engaged to better room rates and room upgrades I always feel like I get the nicest treatment and best experience with each trip. Sophie in their Singapore team has been so helpful advising great undiscovered gems and itinerary's for us. Nico has been organising our safari and is incredibly knowledgeable about Africa and has organised a once in a lifetime trip for us. They really get to know you and your group to advise the best accommodation and activities for your trips making sure everyone in the group is happy.

The Argentina/Antarctica expedition was my second trip arranged by Lightfoot Travel and my first planned by Olie, who did an outstanding job. I began working with Olie in the Fall 2023 and from the start he clearly understood my goals: a small, comfortable expedition ship; travel early or late in the season; and activities such as kayaking, hiking, zodiac cruising, supported by an experienced and knowledgeable expedition team. He presented several well-considered options and thoughtfully explained the differences between seasons in terms of wildlife, weather, snow, and ice, as well as route variations. Based on his guidance, I chose an early spring (November) departure aboard the HMS Seaventure. Before the cruise, I spent four nights in Buenos Aires. Olie recommended a city tour, a food tour, and a milonga visit, all of which were enjoyable and well organized. The local guides provided by Argentina Travel Partners were professional, punctual, and knowledgeable. The hotel was located in a lovely neighborhood near a beautiful park. On my return, I stayed two nights at a small hotel in the Palermo district. Staying in two different areas, an idea suggested by Olie, allowed me to experience more of the city, and I was glad to have done so. In Ushuaia, Olie arranged two nights at the Arakur Resort and a tour of Tierra del Fuego National Park. The hotel’s setting was spectacular, with sweeping views of the bay and surrounding mountains, and both the accommodations and food were excellent. Despite rainy and snowy conditions, the national park tour was thoroughly enjoyable, thanks to a fantastic guide. Working with Argentina Travel Partners also provided peace of mind, ensuring local expertise and an in-country emergency contact. The 10-day cruise aboard the Seaventure exceeded my expectations and was truly the adventure of a lifetime. Olie played a key role in making it such a success. He is highly knowledgeable about South America and Antarctica, patient, and always prompt in responding to questions. He kept me informed about new transit visa requirements for U.S. travellers passing through Brazil and provided helpful, up-to-date travel advice. When my flight from Ushuaia to Buenos Aires changed, he proactively coordinated with Argentine Travel Partners to ensure I was met at the correct airport. Knowing that Olie was available via WhatsApp greatly reduced the stress of travel and enhanced the overall experience. Thank you, Olie. I look forward to planning another expedition with Lightfoot Travel. Warm regards, Rosanne Zuber A Happy Lightfoot Traveler
