Quito Tours in Spring

This trip was the experience of a lifetime. I’m so thankful to G Adventures, our CEO Felix, and to the other travelers in my group for making this trip better than I could have imagined! We got to see and do so much, every day was exciting and well organized.

Ecuador is a small country with surprisingly good infrastructure, especially roads. Restaurants are inexpensive compared to the UK. Our leader Fabian is experienced and made the whole trip run smoothly and did the bureaucracy on our behalf when possible. He left us alone most evenings but provided suggested restaurants that previous groups had used and this worked well in practice. On the Galapagos a local guide is required and most of these added to the experience. The itinerary lies within the area considered safe by the FCDO and so there is no problem travelling. Nevertheless one lady had her mobile phone snatched and so a high degree of caution is required. This trip is very good for a person who wishes to visit Ecuador and get a taste of the Galapagos in a single trip and at a reasonable cost.

It was exceptional and a once in a life time adventure. We felt taken care of and safe. And the knowledge that Omar shared was outstanding. We learned something new every day. Thanks to Omar and the amazing crew!

Alrhough with a wildlife focus, there was plenty else to enjoy to get a feel for Ecuador's history and culture. The wildlife in the Galapagos was amazing with sorkling with turtles the highlight. Fabian was a great tour leader. Informative and helpful whilst leaving the group with time and space to do their own thing. And for chocoholics, the chocolate factory experience was someting to indulge in!

Amazing experience, made me full in love with Peru! The massive famous hikes could of been advertised in La paz, has 1 of the most famous 6000M hikes in the world and would of been nice to know about it or put it in the optional activities so I missed out on that unfortanilty

My first experience with Explore and I could not have asked for anything more. Fantastic itinerary jammed packed with so many different experiences. The local guides just made the whole holiday with their knowledge and passion and enthusiasm just shone through. Fabian, the tour leader was such a lovely person whose organisation skills were impeccable. How difficult it must be get 13 people on buses, ferries, zodiacs and planes must be near impossible but he managed to get to every destination with ease. His explanations of each activity and accommodation was so informative we didn’t have to worry about anything. Throughly excellent. I will be booking again.
