Quito Tours in November 2026

Oswaldo was an amazing CEO - he cared so much about The Galapagos, the clients, the crew, the boat and G-Adventures. He was proactive on every outing to make sure we would have the best experience possible - on terms of the time we left (avoid other people), his knowledge, his picture taking and everything he shared with us. The Captain and the Crew were so caring and responsive to any need we might have. Everything was AMAZING - just as it should have been to be exploring the most special place I have seen on this planet.

Fantastic trip,swimming with sharks,turtles,and seals.So many beautiful fish. Trips to local markets,and interactions with local people. Visiting rose farm,chocolate factory, local musicians. Walking on beaches,up volcano, and around. Main fantastic time seeing the amazing tortoises.

A very good trip by Explore, full on, it was a pity about the aircraft company Europa. A rubbish company, I wouldn't go with them again. Their short hall was OK, just a pity they had reclining seats, they need to take a look at easyJet for short hall. But the long haul was rubbish, the food was yuck, which was served as soon as the aircraft took off. Then I never saw a steward/stewardess again until it was about to land 10 hours later with a cup of coffee. Other airlines would have been serving water, coffee AND biscuits throughout the whole flight. Yes I WILL go with Explore again but not Air Europa

Our tour leader, Diego Torres was fabulous. His knowledge of his country and wildlife was immense and his passion for Ecuador infectious. He looked after all of us and met all our needs and gave us all the indepth information we required to enjoy this holiday

Excellent tour with great leader (Miriam). It was good to see Ecuador (mainland) for a week before going to the Galápagos Islands. The mainland is very pretty and also has some great wildlife.

This trip was simply superb! The split of one week Ecuador mainland and one week Galapagos Islands was ideal.....and provided a huge variety of landscapes, flora and fauna and culture....not to mention food! The hotel accommodation was at times very good indeed and at other times perfectly adequate. The pace was very well judged, too....a good mix of adventure and relaxed exploring. Also, few long days travelling, considering the amount of places we got to see. The transport was excellent.....a very good sized bus was always available. But mostly, I want to congratulate the Ecuadorian guide, Myriam Gallegos, for her passionate enthusiasm, her superb subject knowledge - in Spanish and English - her caring and helpful approach to all our needs, her organisational skills and her sense of fun and adventure. She made the trip really memorable!
