Elizabeth | Traveled in January
Wow. Geluxe is my new favourite way to travel. I felt extremely well taken care of. Exploring Ecuador with caring and detail oriented guides who had a resounding love for their country was an absolute delight. I had tears in my eyes so many times on this trip after feeling overwhelmed with the beauty that surrounded me. The accommodations were in fabulous areas and always had a little something extra (views, food, staff) that helped me feel comfortable and well taken care of. The food was abundant and delicious, almost always with a reflection of the Ecuadorian cuisine. So many varied and interesting activities. Loved climbing to base camp at Cotopaxi (well, I loved getting to base camp- a worthwhile climb with a lot of elevation to add to the fun). The sheer beauty around every corner of land and sea (manta rays and seahorses in GalA¡pagos were my favorite) helped to rate this trip one of the best trips I have every been on ( maybe even the best). Thank you to all the people of Ecuador for loving their country and land and helping me see a small part of the beauty and kindness that exist in abundance.

I love G Adventures. The schedules are great. It's awesome to meet like minded people and getting to know people all over the world. I love rooming with new people and my roommate was great. The places selected, transportation, hotels and activities were so well done. Thanks G.

The western islands itinerary in the Galapagos aboard the Reina Silvia with Omar Medina as our guide was one of the best trips I've taken, in more than 50 countries over the past 25 years. We saw incredible wildlife - at least 1 or 2 new species each day! - and spectacular landscapes, and we really had time to explore in different ways and take it all in. Omar and the crew of the Reina Silvia took such good care of us in every way and made our adventure safe, fun and memorable. Our group of 16 was fantastic - we've made some true friends, and are already making plans to see each other again. I can't recommend this trip highly enough... just wish there was an option for smaller meal portions (for those of us who are smaller people), since I felt bad wasting such delicious food. The trip was epic, and I'd do it again in a heartbeat!

This has to be in my top five greatest adventures! Not only did I get to see and experience what Ecuador has to offer, but also learned about the local cuisine, the people, the markets, and the wilderness, which was a time that I did not want to end. Even our New Year's Eve experience in the Ecuadorian tradition was memorable. The people in our group were all amazing and everyone had a great time, especially while white water rafting in Banos!
Alessandro | Traveled in January
This is a trip of a lifetime - a really comprehensive taste of the best of Ecuador and Galapagos. From high altitude hiking to the phenomenal landscapes, trying local food and extraordinary encounters with unique wildlife. All carefully curated and at a high level of comfort. I would highly recommend this experience.
