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!

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.
