Testimonials
Morris family, USA. Land-based Galapagos, June 2026 Thank you so much for putting together our Galapagos trip. It was FANTASTIC. My husband and I were chatting and we honestly don’t think we would skip any of the activities and tours we did if we could do it all again. The guides were fantastic, the food was great, the pace was great, and the hotels were great! I shall be recommending you all to anyone who asks. If we ever decide to actually go to Patagonia, I will be in touch! Thanks again.

Lesley Rafferty, Scotland. Tailormade Ecuador and Galapagos, April 2026 What an amazing holiday I had in Ecuador and the Galapagos. Everything ran so smoothly from flights, to pickup transfers, to hotels. Casona de la Ronda was characterful. La Jimenita was lovely with its own nature trail. Hacienda Alegria was absolutely fantastic. Only person staying there, and the owner Gabriel made me feel like one of the family. Wonderful horseriding every day in the foothills of the Andes. So peaceful. Galapagos cruise (Solaris) was also fantastic. Snorkelling twice a day off the pangas. Wildlife everywhere - a feast for the eyes. Sea lions, Galapagos penguins, turtles, iguanas, small sharks, octopus, manta rays and so many different fish. Great group and just the right number (16). El Monte Sustainable Lodge was lovely and so peaceful. Had a great trek to some lovely waterfalls with a guide and saw lots of birds. Throughout the holiday, all food freshly cooked. Thank you so much for organising this trip.
