Gail Robertson, Scotland. Tailormade Patagonia, April 2026 We had a great trip. Certainly lived up to expectations. We had a bucket list of places to visit, especially Patagonia. Tom put together our trip based on our list. Friend recommended Andean Trails. We did look at other travel companies but liked the idea of a bespoke trip organised for us. Tom did a great job. It’s difficult to pick one highlight, but probably our stay in El Chalten. The weather there was glorious and autumn colours beautiful. Hotel was nice, all the walks we did we enjoyed. Atacama was pretty special too. Overall, the landscape and scenery were amazing. Guides were all great, as was organisation. Everything went to plan. Any query dealt with promptly. We particularly valued having the local contacts who kept in touch throughout. We feel we benefitted the local people by using local guides, visiting museums, markets, eating out in restaurants, staying in independent hotels etc. We had an amazing trip, Tom. Thank you. We would certainly recommend Andean Trails. We are already thinking about our next trip!!

Macrae family, UK. Galapagos cruise, April 2026 That was truly a holiday of a lifetime. We are grateful to Andean Trails for the suggestion of this tour and to the excellent Eco-Galaxy team. The boat was exceptionally comfortable and the team was attentive and expert. From the captain to the brilliant panga drivers and cruise director. The guide, Pablo, was outstanding. The itinerary was very well organised and we saw incredible wildlife on a scale I’ve not encountered anywhere. In addition to helping us to spot specific species, Pablo’s deep knowledge of the ecology, geology and history put that in all in a wider and deeper context. We particularly loved the snorkelling. A trip highlight was swimming with sea lions and turtles -which was beyond magical. In addition to taking us to brilliant sites, we recognised the attention to safety. It was our daughter’s birthday on board and the crew made a delicious cake and was very generous in making it a wonderful occasion. More broadly the food was absolutely delicious (my only suggestion would be to make lunch slightly lighter to protect our waistlines!!) Overall, the trip exceeded our expectations. It was such a privilege to spend time in this incredible place.
