My husband and I recently completed this Ecuador and Galápagos tour, and it exceeded our expectations from start to finish. Having traveled to 30 countries, we’ve experienced many guided tours, and this was truly a great one.
The itinerary was excellent, with a great balance of natural, historical, and architectural sites. Every day offered something different, from incredible wildlife experiences in the Galápagos to fascinating cultural and historical attractions on the mainland. One of our favorite experiences was the chocolate tour, and the charming hotels and lunch spots featured throughout the trip served delicious local food.
The logistics were seamless, especially in the Galápagos. Jorge, his daughter, and their team made every transfer and transportation detail effortless. Whenever a small issue arose, it was addressed immediately by the guides, who were consistently professional, attentive, and eager to help.
Our mainland guide, Rodney, deserves special recognition. If you have the opportunity, request him specifically. After traveling extensively around the world, we can confidently say he is the best guide we’ve ever had. Rodney goes above and beyond to ensure every traveler is comfortable and has the experience they want. His knowledge of Ecuador’s ecology, history, biology, culture, and language is exceptional, and if he didn’t know the answer to a question, he would find out right away. Beyond his expertise, he is genuinely kind, patient, and thoughtful. There is no one better to welcome visitors to Ecuador.
We cannot recommend this tour highly enough. If you’re considering an Ecuador and Galápagos trip, this is an outstanding choice that combines exceptional guides, well-organized logistics, wonderful accommodations, delicious food, and unforgettable experiences.
