“I just returned from spending 8 days in Galapagos, and the trip far exceeded my expectations, high anyway thanks to my trip 3 years ago with the tour operator to New Zealand. These islands truly are enchanted, and if you long to go somewhere truly unique and to disconnect from the normal rhythms of your life at home, this is the place to go. Stunning scenery, wildlife so tame you can converse with them up close and personal, fabulous food and comfortable hotels located at just the right places, and a guide (Pablo), to whom I am forever in his debt. His infectious enthusiasm about this magical place and its inhabitants, his gift for conveying a wealth of knowledge so that even I understood, his awareness of the needs and wants of each fellow traveler, and his smile. More than once I found my eyes welling up with tears with gratitude for being in this spot on the globe and being with him.”

“If you think Ecuador, Galapagos Islands is just about the heat, greenery & plantains, you are in for the surprise of your life. We have been searching for a National Geographic Informative trip and stumbled across the tour operator. I must have called at least 8-10 times with a variety of questions since the shut down and someone always and I mean always called me back within 24 hours with complete detailed information with the utmost aplomb. When we hit the islands, yes, it was hot but the guides and everyone were so accommodating. I have never met a guide (Pablo) who was so passionate, professional, courteous , knowledgeable , and patient with my millions of questions. I have a small travel diary and there is no way I can remember all of the information he bestowed upon our group. Our second guide was Paolo who stayed back to help the slower ones in our group (me). Both our guides made sure we were safe and as comfortable as we could be. If you are expecting beans, rice and tortillas on this trip, forget about it. The food was unbelievable. Well prepared and the presentation was always spectacular. Thank you for our bucket list Adventure. Will remember it always.”

“I am usually an independent (non-group) traveler, however, there is no way I could have managed the logistics of the island hopping and activities to have the same trip experience. Pepo and Paolo were great guides (and human beings). Loved the activities, but would have preferred a slightly longer trip with more time on Santa Cruz for the beach and San Cristobal. I chose the snorkelling option to the Tunnels and then paid to also see the volcano walk separately. They were both amazing, so I would have preferred them both to be included in the trip (which probably would extend the Isabela stay by a day). In general, the mix of activities was good. Food and lodgings were good. The food quality and choices met my expectations. The hotel quality matched the available quality of hotels on the different islands, so I was happy with them. We stayed on the beaches, so the early morning beach walks were some of my favourite quieter moments of the trip. I stayed one full day extra in Quito and needed the time for the rapid COVID test results to get back, but the process itself was easy. Finally, the end of the trip was anticlimactic, but I understand the logistical reasons for it. One option would have been to have the whole group including our main guides fly to Guayaquil, but I would have missed the time in downtown Quito. Some of this was just screwed up because of COVID testing logistics and will be resolved in the post COVID era.”
