Testimonials
Kirsty, UK. Biking in Ecuador and Galapagos, Aug 2026 Andean Trails organised our holiday adventure in Ecuador at very short notice. We had a week cycling on the mainland and a week snorkelling & hiking in the Galápagos Islands. The organisation was perfect, the cycling was varied, the hotels were all lovely and the food always had veggie and meat options. The local guides were excellent, we learnt so much about local history, culture and animals. Communication was excellent throughout and a small issue with the taxi time was resolved very quickly. Ecuador is a fantastic place to visit and we couldn’t have hoped for anything more.

Jamil Malik, UK. Tailormade Ecuador and Galapagos, June 2026 Overall it was an amazing trip, Galapagos blew our minds with all the nature, very special place, loads of memories to take with us. Highlights: Cuicocha lake first crater walk at altitude (tiring but we all did it) followed by visit to Cotopaxi volcano. The main highlight, arriving in Galapagos, scene out of Jurassic Park. Quilotoa crater lake – amazing to look at. Galapagos – snorkelling, biking, boat trips all excellent. Miguel (Quito part) (guide) was excellent, and Paquito his driver was quiet and polite. Miguel’s knowledge was unbelievable and he adjusted our days as required and accommodated stops etc. Thinking about the next one already!
