Aly | Traveled in August
Amazing trip!! Wonderful guide, comfy and spacious bus for transportation between cities, amazing hotels, and great add-ons + included activities. I usually spend weeks planning out a trip and this made it so seamless. I'd highly recommend! (Not to mention, Ecuador was SO beautiful and exceeded my expectations. It also felt very safe). Shoutout to -- I'm a vegetarian and was worried about having enough food and he always did SUCH a good job making sure I had great options. Very thoughtful, helpful, knowledgeable, and fun guide.
Kaitlin | Traveled in August
This was an amazing experience! I highly recommend this G Adventures tour. The Galapagos is an ecological marvel and the best way to see it is by living and traveling on a boat. The CEO and crew aboard the Yolita went above and beyond and I am very grateful to them. I have such special memories and I can't wait to go again someday.
Nicole | Traveled in August
The entire trip was absolutely incredible. If it weren't for the photos, I would have thought the entire thing was a dream. I can't stop raving about how great the entire trip was to people. Everything was amazing! I would absolutely do another G Adventures trip in the future.
Joseph | Traveled in August
I had the most fun and would recommend it others I learnt a lot made amazing friends. I will not forget this summer I had the best time. The transport could be private with such large groups and late checkouts should be included.
Hilary | Traveled in August
It was an incredible trip and I can?t believe how much we did and saw in the limited time. G adventures had everything organized and scheduled to see and experience the best of each place.
Benita | Traveled in August
This was my second trip to Galapagos with G this year. I was so impressed with the first trip when I took my 15 year old son that I urged my 13 year old to go so I could return. Each trip was unique in the details, but the whole experiences were equally great. It was good to see the consistency in the quality of guides we had: Dario Chimarro and Sandra Masaquiza. They were both born in Galapagos and were extremely knowledgeable about. every aspect of the islands. Now my husband wants to know when I'm going to "take him." I'm thinking next year. :)
