EXCELLENTVerified Great cruise around Galapagos but penny pinching on drinks and abnormal expectations on tipping were very disappointing My wife and I went on a 5 day cruise around the Galápagos Islands which included snorkeling land excursions and zodiac trips. Cruise and staff were excellent but the pace non stop which was challenging at times but did not detract from the trip. However, unlike other cruises, all guests were limited to one glass of wine or beer per day (all soft drinks and juices were complimentary). However, the wine was Limited to a glass of red only. White wine had to be paid for. The boat had 15 passengers so surely when the cost per passenger is around $A1,000 per day, it’s not too much to expect complimentary wine at lunch and dinner. Unnecessary penny pinching and the operators could learn a thing or 2 from Ponant cruises where all alcohol is included at all times of the day. Secondly, in the final debrief before leaving the cruise, a rate card was provided suggesting what I thought were excessive amounts of gratuities. Surely these are not necessary if the crew are paid properly on such expensive cruises. In addition there was no anonymity as cabin details were provided on the envelopes given to passengers for these tips. This what I would call brazen requests detracted from what was a wonderful experience around the Galapagos Islands. There are many operators in the area and it’s these little things that make a difference.Verified Top Grade tour Superb guide Raul with very good English. Well scheduled and paced tours, avoided most of the large crowds. Comfortable clean vehicle. Raul has quite a complete knowledge of many different aspects of the city and country and does a good job sharing that.Verified Great opportunity to see the highlights of keto with a wonderful guide We had a great day seeing keto today and learning so much about the history of this area and the country. We would like to set up a tour for next Saturday, December 7 to go to the Mindo rainforest and would like to have Danny as our guide if that is possible. Please communicate with me by email or text so that we could set something up. We will be staying at the same hotel Windham, at the airportVerified Wonderful Quito Tour with fabulous Fabian Fabian was a very informative and an excellent tour guide.

He showed a thorough knowledge of history and sites in the city, and answered all our random questions. He adjusted his program to suit our requirements and gave great suggestions for things we could do ourselves the next day.Thanks, amigo!Verified Отличная организация тура по Кито и Галапагосским островам Мы хотели посмотреть Эквадор и Галапагосские острова всей семьей. У нас есть свои пожелания по поводу организации и проведения туров и особенные запросы. У нас молодой человек с ограниченной подвижностью на инвалидной коляске. Нам обязательно надо подобрать подходящий транспорт и доступные для посещения места с учетом перемещений на инвалидной коляске.Организатор поездки Марта, русскоязычный гид Давид и другие члены их команды очень сильно помогли нам в поездке в Эквадор и хорошо подобрали и организовали все экскурсии в Кито и на Галапагосских островах. Нам очень понравился гид Давид. Также гид и водитель помогали нам с инвалидной коляской. Гид и водитель всегда приезжали вовремя. Без их помощи нам было бы трудно в Эквадоре. На Галапагосских островах тоже были хорошие англоязычные гиды и тоже нам всегда помогали.Рекомендую компанию Ecuador Wonders для организации туров по Эквадору с учетом индивидуальных предпочтений и особенностей.Verified Traveling around Ecuador Ivan Tarapuez is a great English-speaking guide. We spent 4 days with him traveling around mainland Ecuador. He can tell a lot, is unobtrusive and easy to talk to.Verified Tuk Quito Great guide. Everything is on time. Knowledgeable guide. Interesting stories. It was a great pleasure to learn.Highly recommended.Verified Galapagos in style This cruise ship is managed by Golden Galapagos. We did a 1 week tour of the Galapagos on this amazing little boat. We have never done a live aboard so it was all new. It was great being catered to by all of the crew members and they were respectful of all the guests. We were lucky to only have 10 passengers (there were more crew members - 12). They kept us busy every day, with 1-2 hikes a day (1-1/2 hrs long) and also 1-2 snorkel trips in full wetsuits every day (1-1/2 hrs long). We saw so many animals up close, including the penguins and seals who were curious and swam with us. The chef was amazing. Breakfast and lunch are buffet style and dinner is usually a choice of 2 entrees. Vegetarian choices were always available. The chef made us peanut butter and jelly sandwiches to take on the plane when we left because we had a 1 1/2 hour layover in Guayaquil where we couldn't disembark from the plane. Our private patio was so nice to be able to sit and enjoy the ocean all to yourself. They offered sea sick tablets every day for those who wanted them. We had no problems with sea sickness and sleeping was great-like a giant waterbed! We met some great people from all over the USA. Our cabin was so nice and roomy. We did some laundry and hung items outside on our patio (clothespins were provided) & in the shower. We were able to go ashore 2 days for about 2-3 hours and wander the small towns, shop and eat. Only complaint was that even though our guide was very informative and cordial, he would constantly get too far ahead of all of us (only 10 so really shouldn't have been an issue), whether walking or snorkeling, so any near the rear would sometimes miss certain info or viewings.Verified Splendid experience Thank you very much to agency and Patricia from our family for organization of this marvelous tour in Quito and Galapagos.Verified by TrustindexTrustindex verified badge is the Universal Symbol of Trust.
