This was a trip of a lifetime! G adventures and our CEO's, Felipe and Gustavo, made everything so enjoyable and easy! Getting to the Galapagos was no easy feat and our CEO's handled everything with professionalism and enthusiasm. I felt like I was able to show up and not have to think about anything. I will definitely be booking Gluxe adventures again!
