Just got home from a week long vacation With my hubby planned by Kim and Nash owerns of Bare escape & could not be more happy! Each day of the trip was so exciting new and I would definitely say planned with care. She understood our passions for traveling but not just Motel 6 style she booked us the cutest boutiques out there Day by day and the best part we didn’t have to do anything but answer a few questions about the type of vacation and where we wanted to go. My husband and i didn’t want to get off the plane then have to figure out where we’d stay or talk to tons of people about the best tours in town ect. & what sets them apart from other travel agency’s is that the by all means they do not want to run you for your money bare escape is all based off your personal budget they honestly want their clients to have an experience of a lifetime they spend so much time researching calling and booking it shows even when you are clicking through their website. We were so very pleased and honestly had a wonderful vacation! Can’t wait for the next one!!!

Bare Escapes. She has a unique vision of how to put together both a healing and relaxing trip with the perfect mix of adventure and intimate cultural experiences sprinkled into our week stay just outside of Ubud, Bali. I don’t usually travel as part of a group or go on trips where my itinerary is planned out in advance by someone else but I must say what Kim arranged for us was better than anything I could have planned myself. She has impeccable taste and seeks out real cultural experiences so you never feel like you are doing the standard touristy activities but instead you are getting a true taste of the real culture. I wholeheartedly trust Kim’s vision in planning the perfect trip with the right balance of relaxation and adventure. I think I have found a new way to travel and I look forward to joining Kim in any corner of the world for another retreat when I need the perfect vacation.

We had such a wonderful time in Bali all thanks to Kim Finley our travel agent and Abbie Jacobs our Yoga instructor for planning and putting together such a great package and itinerary of our entire trip! Everything was amazing, the food, the people the extra outing and workshops….this was definitely a dream come true vacation!

Bare Escape was an amazingly fun awesome experience. Kim treated my reservation with such care and kindness. Always checking in and making sure I had everything I needed prior to my departure. Her planned retreats are a treat in themselves. You can tell she has thought of everything even the small details to make your stay one for the record books. Five star accommodations. I felt safe and secure booking with Bare Escape and would definitely book again!

I partnered as the yoga instructor with Kim on this retreat and it was an incredible experience in every aspect. Kim planned every detail with such thoughtfulness. Not I nor our guest had to worry about ANYTHING. All of our needs and expectations were not only met but exceeded! All the key elements were exquisite including lodging, food and workshops.
The feed back I received from my guests was overwhelming satisfaction and gratitude. Every one was blown away!
Working with Kim was easy and seamless. All I had to do was show up and concentrate on what I do best, teaching yoga. I would partner with her in an instant again. I look forward to many more collaborations!

The experience that Kim put together for our Revive Yoga retreat was exceptional in every way. The booking process was easy and she was very helpful with any questions I had. The arrival and transportation to the resort was seamless and easy. Once we got to the resort I was blown away with the attention to detail, she had very thoughtful gifts ready for us in our rooms and a detailed schedule printed for us to reference everyday. Each day was mindfully planned with yoga, massage, and cultural experiences that were both interactive and informative. I had been to Bali before but the trip that Kim put together gave me an entirely new experience that I will treasure forever. Kim is so passionate about travel and it shows in the experiences she puts together. No detail was overlooked. I couldn’t recommend her trips more, the experienced traveler and novice explorer will both love what Kim puts together.

Bare Escape planned our HoneyMoon for us and it was the most fun, adventurous, seamless trip. It was so amazing to have everything mapped out for us so we didn’t have to think about anything expect for enjoying ourselves after all the wedding madness. Thank you Kim and Nash for being so personable, available and taking such great care of us! I would recommend Bare Travels to anyone looking to have an adventurous and relaxing care free trip.

Wir buchten im Zuge unserer Marokko Rundreise das “Kasbah Bab Ourika”, im Atlas Gebirge, in Marokko, über die absolut zu empfehlende Reiseagentur “Bare Escape”. Die Unterkunft war ein absoluter Volltreffer und wir wurden bei Ankunft sogar in die bessere Zimmerkategorie eingebucht. Kim, von Bare Escape, beriet uns super und gab uns auch für die restliche Reise wertvolle und hilfreiche Tipps! Auch die Abwicklung, Bezahlung etc. der Buchung erfolgte schnell, unkompliziert und einfach. Vielen herzlichen Dank und bis zum nächsten Mal! Gerne wieder und liebe Grüße aus Deutschland von uns:)

Our trip to South Korea was everything we hoped for and more. Kim took all our wishes and input on board and created a unique experience for us that allowed us to get a taste of this wonderful country in a relatively short time. Even though we had a packed itinerary (our choice), the trip never felt rushed or like we were simply ticking things of a list – Kim’s thoughtful planning made sure of that. I particularly loved the variety of accommodation she curated for us – from traditional Hanok to sleek metropolitan luxury hotel, we had it all. And the Bare Surprises she organized for us were truly, truly memorable.
I was also bowled over by Kim’s dedicated communication – she answered all our questions openly and swiftly before the trip, kept in touch throughout our time in South Korea (jumping on the phone without hesitation when there was a small misunderstanding at one of the hotels) and checking in on us after we returned home. The whole experience of booking our trip through Bare Escape felt like having your holidays planed by a long-time friend: personal, memorable, unique and relaxed. I would book with Kim again in a heartbeat.

Bare Escape plans a fun and exciting vacation that is customized to your needs and desires. Their first hand knowledge of worldly destinations makes them the first choice when deciding who should book your vacation
Kim and Nash are very personable and took the time to speak with us at length on what kind of experience we were looking for.

My trip to China this past March was amazing. Everything and more I imagined it to be like. The places Kim suggested to me were beyond compare and so unique. I would have never found these gems by myself even if I tried. At the beginning I was hesitant to pay a down-payment not knowing what my itinerary was like, but Kim reassured me that this money would go towards the final cost of my itinerary and that I will only be charged 10% on top of the final fee once we found the my perfect itinerary. Trust me it was so perfect.

India is something else. So different to any place I have ever travelled to. The culture, the language, the architecture, everything was attention grabbing. I was a bit afraid to travel to this place because of all the horror stories, so having Kim plan my trip was so wonderful. She put me at ease with her tales of the amazing experiences she had there, as she had been there just a few months before. Thanks for making this process so painless and comfortable. If you are on the fence about booking with Bare Escape the small fee is worth the well planned trip and the peace of mind

We can’t thank the team at Bare Escape enough for organizing such an outstanding trip for my fiancé and I. The hotels were just what we were hoping for: unique and boutique.
Thank you so much.

Nothing will ever compare to our trip to Africa. There are a million travel agencies, safari tours and camps to choose from and the thought alone overwhelmed us. We have been dreaming about going for a long time and finally saved up enough money to actually go. My husband turned 70 on this trip and Kim couldn’t have done a better job to turn this vacation into the best of our lives. She informed us about all the visa regulations, needed vaccinations and planned everything so smoothly from the day of arrival to the day of departure. We are probably too old to travel abroad again but we are thinking about traveling some more around Canada this next year.

We did it once and we will do it again. Kim knew from the very beginning what I was looking for and was able to create the perfect itinerary for us within three days. I book most of my trips through travel agencies and from my previous experiences I can safely say that not many high end tour operators try as hard as Bare Escape to make your dreams become reality. Thank you again.

We planned our weekend trip to Chicago with Bare Escape, and it was wonderful. Great hotel, great restaurant suggestions and we were surprised with a couples massage. Just what we needed.

We travel extensively and have very high expectations when it comes to hotels, but Bare Escape did not disappoint. Not only did they choose very unique BNBs for us for our trip through southern France, they helped us find inexpensive flights as well as organized our rental car. We can’t stop talking about our time in Europe and will tell all our friends about the great service we received from Bare Escape.

I will never forget the magic of Santorini, that white city on the hillside. Though we travelled late in the season, the weather was absolutely gorgeous. Plus paired with the hotels we stayed in, our time in the sun couldn’t have been any better.

I know I have written several thank yous over our email conversation but just wanted to say Thank You one last time for organizing our family trip to Portugal. The itinerary was perfect and exceeded all of our expectations. We loved the informative letter we received in the mail two weeks before departure. Everything went so smoothly thanks to the outstanding communication and help throughout our whole trip. All our activities were planned for and we even had a surprise dinner reservation at an excellent local restaurant. What a relaxing vacation in a beautiful country. We are looking forward to travel with Bare Escape again in future.

My boyfriend and I wanted something a little bit off the beaten track, yet still be able to make a quick stop to see the highlights the city of Rome has to offer. When we first got our itinerary we weren’t too sure if this is what we were looking for but decided to give it a try. Kim helped us organize a rental car and found a killer deal to get us from SF to Rome with only one stop.
The highlights of our vacation: a romantic two days spent at a beautiful hotel outside of Rome; wine tasting at a local vineyard; delicious pizza and ice cream we enjoyed during a day tour with our personal tour guide. For our first time in Europe we really appreciated the kindness of the locals, the seamless organization, remarkable hotel choices and all the divine food we got to try. All this made the trip to Rome for me and my boyfriend unforgettable.
