Galapagos Islands Tour Companies

Well coordinated, exceptional tour guides on every scheduled tour. I don’t mind paying extra for a wonderful lifetime memorable trip. Highly recommend to everyone

Be prepared for some very early mornings and rough boat rides to start the trip, but once you get past those, the trip is incredible! I highly recommend the Los Túneles snorkeling on Isabela if you are looking to pick an optional activity.

This experience was awesome! The itinerary was mostly kept, we were kept informed if there were adjustments. The only real issue was a minor one when refueling required took longer than expected on Day 8, so we had a bit less time in the touristy city of Santa Cruz... which I didn't mind (saved a bit of money). We saw every animal we came to see and much more. We snorkeled with sharks, sea lions and stingrays! Our guide (Jacinto) was excellent, even helping my wife with snorkeling, as she was a bit reticent at first. My only suggestion is to bring a lot of cash. They don't take credit cards on board for expenses (drinks, wetsuits, etc.).

The last day Jessica messed up on our plain departure… which ruined my whole vacation.. we were stuck on the airport!.. Jessica keep on saying that someone from the office made a mistake, to cover herself… I was devastated, didn’t know what to do.. in sNta cruz airport, and no flight for me.. that is a big big mistake!… I want certain actions to be taken towards her.. it was five of us, stuck on the air port…

The guides were excellent and very knowledgeable. The hotel Gran Tortuga on Isabelle Island was good and they were very helpful about everything. The hotel Peregrina on Santa Cruz had very helpful staff however they lacked organization on our reservation and room. The maintenance of the hotel is not very good as there were numerous small problems with our first room and when we passed through on the return trip we ended up with a room that the AC didn't work this was due both to the lack of maintenance and the disorganization with our reservation and they didn't hold our original reservation and instead gave our room to somebody that just walked in without a reservation. Margo was great to communicate with and resolved any small issues we had.

We had a great time on this tour. Stephan greeted us and brought us on tour of tortoise reserve and Chsrles Darwin Centre. He was excellent, informative and looked after us well. Second day on Tintoreas was our first experience of snorkeling. Carlos could have been more patient. But on day 3 In Tunneles Darwin was superb. He looked after us well, was so enthusiastic and also took great photos which he shared with us. Julio took us to the crater on a good hike on day four. Again he was so knowledgeable and we got to see it after hiking through the mist. Accommodation in Postale de Mar an La Jungla was excellent with nothing too much trouble for the great hosts

Hi! We love TourRadar. We had the best experience in the Galapagos islands. The communication with Jefferson was excellent from day one. He returned messages quickly along with several answers to questions that we had as this was our first time using a tour agency. Everything went smooth, and as printed in the itinerary. we are looking at our next-door and looking at TourRadar as I write. The hotels in the Galapagos were in town and walking distance to the beach, restaurants, activities, and super centrally located. However, the hotel in Ecuador was up on a hill and in a locked area. The place was nice. The grounds are beautiful, however, food and ability to sightsee or just take a walk or Prohibited. When I’ve loved to seen Ecuador and do plan to go back and spend some time in the city and see the marketplace and be able to walk around. All folks throughout the Galapagos islands were extremely friendly, helpful and kind. The treatment of humans and wildlife is superb and we all could learn from them. Thank you for this tour A+.

We had a number of different guides but it was very well organized and everyone was on time. It seemed like the schedule changed several times and there was at times a number of activities in one day. We walked uphill in the morning and then snorkeling and more walking in the afternoon. Would have liked to have had things stretched out a bit more. You can of course opt out of activities. Navigating to the hotels is no problem from anywhere in town. The first hotel was a very nice facility but the street light was at the height of the room and could keep you awake. The staff all spoke English and were very helpful. The second hotel was a bit worn. The staff did not speak English,

The trip to the Galapagos was eye-opening and exciting, being so close to the wild life animals on land and under the water. All the tour guides are nice and helpful, in particular Rafael Arevalo from Quito who is informative and shared the interesting things about the daily life of the people living in the city. Rafael is also knowledgeable

The guides were very good. Advertising over promised and in some cases was misleading - I had the impression that there was a fixed group of people on the tour.

Guides were helpful and knowledgeable. They added a great deal to my experience

Camy adventure was the tour operator for our Quito and Galapagos island 7 days tour. The communication with Wilson from Camy adventure from the time we made our booking via Tourradar to the last days of the tour were just excellent. The personal services to make sure we are safe while on tour, the flexibility and the attentiveness to little details like: make sure on our departure date, Wilson helps checked in my flight, got my boarding pass before we say goodbye, this was second to none.

1. We were informed that snorkeling would be in the afternoon after a morning hike and lunch back at the hotel. We didn’t take our snorkeling gear in the morning and missed the snorkeling which was in the morning. 2. We were not informed that we were staying overnight for the visit to Isabella Island. Just prior to our departure they asked us for our luggage which we had no idea why they wanted it! It was a stressful moment to pack our stuff at the last moment to avoid holding up the boat!

AMAZING! the galapagos trip with Rebecca adventure travel is one i will always remember. The islands, animals and people are beautifull and the trip was great. Evrything was aranged perfectly from hotels, to transfers, the guides all spoke english. This is definetly a tour i can recommend to evryone!

Coming from our fantastic Galapagos Trip and want to give you some Feedback. Transfers at day one were perfect and all the Guides did a good job. Day 2, the Flamingo Lagoon was not a good choice. We saw a dirty water lake with 2 Flamingos in it. The los Tuneles Snorkling Tour at day 2 was amazing. The Guide was fantastic and shows us a lot. Special service without a fee were the underwater pictures. Great! Day 3 - Transfer from Isabella to Santa Cruz was horrible. The boat was overcrowded and we get totally wet. 2,5 hours terrible boat trip. Charles Darwin Tour was fantastic and the guide Caesar amazing. He knows so much about Galapagos, because he is a native, and taught us a lot. Great guy! Boots Tour in the afternoon was a cheekiness. The guide was unfriendly and lazy. He only said „Get out your Cell Phones and make a Foto“. No explanations, nothing. Lot‘s of senseless waiting, because he didn't have the group under control. We would recommend not to book him again. Day 4 Pinzon Fishing Tour made us speechless. Best finish on this trip. The guide was amazing as well as the boat crew. Day 5 Transfers to the airport were perfectly arranged. Also to note: Would be helpful to ask about food allergies at the beginning of the trip!

Everything's good, just one thing: from ferry to hotel, with luggage, and no wifi, walking in not possible

Schöne Rundreise mit schönen Schnorchel Touren. Wichtig nur Wasser aus verpackten Flaschen trinken bzw. für Zähneputzen verwenden!

Our holiday was great. We experienced so many wonderful animals, food and people. The accommodation was okay. The casa de Nelly was incredible as was the red booby hotel but the blue house was loud, smelled an awful lot like sewage, was uncomfortable and overall, unprepared. Our drivers were knowledgeable but often late picking us up. We did enjoy the freedom to roam and explore untied to a group.

BM Tours, thanks for making our dreams come true! Galapagos was amazing, so many memories. Hasta la proxima vez

I’m writing more of an account than a review, so you can decide whether this tour is for you. May suit some people, others maybe not. Day 1 No lunch provided on the first day, had to buy my own. Glad I did as it was the best meal of the tour. Things were disorganised in terms of instructions of travel, felt like I was lost at times, not knowing where to be when. Communication could have been much better. From travelling to the mainland to Isabella will take you all day, so don’t plan on any activities on the first day. Accommodation in Isabella was basic (I would say 2 star), but clean. 2nd day Again communication not great - I later learned that the operator sub contracts all the tours you go on to other operators. This meant having different operators for different activities on the same day. Morning tour was 2 hours in length to see the tortoise reserve and flamingo lagoon. Lunch was ok, but the guide did not seem that enthusiastic. Afternoon tour was three hours to Los Tunnels. A very good tour. The guide was knowledgable, enthusiastic and very passionate. Only a main course for dinner in the evening. Day 3 Early start 5:15 am pick up, so no breakfast at the hotel. Boat at 6am. Accommodation was very nice (would say 3 star), staff welcoming and very friendly. They gave me breakfast when they heard I could not get any that morning at the previous nights hotel. Only one activity for the afternoon - visit to the Charles Darwin research station (50 minutes). Day 4 Morning activity Tortuga Bay (3 hours). I wouldn’t say the trip was guided, just walked you there and you were left to your own devices. Afternoon activity tunnels, tortoise ranch and sinkholes (2hrs 45 mins). An ok trip, though the coach transportation was very old, uncomfortable and no air conditioning. Day 5 Picked up 4 hours early for my flight, so waiting around a lot at the airport. Conclusion Seemed very expensive for only 11.5 hours of activities. I think if you planned ahead, you could book your own accommodation, tours and travel to make more of the 5 days at half the price. As I said, this may suit some and not others.

Absolutely wonderful!!!

Bad quality of tour guide and communication October 2023 We had a island hopping tour including Santa Fe, North Seymour, Bartolome and Kicker Rick in San Cristobal. The tour guides they work with is not the same quality. Unfortunately the most important island for us to North Seymour and Bartolome we had a not professional tour guide. He is too lazy to climb up the mountain and just show us where to take pictures without giving any knowledge or information about the landscape and wildlife. Everyone is upset in the group, but when we reported to the travel agent, the next day with the same guide, he treated as very bad on purpose we can feel that.It is not very good experience. As the first trip to Santa Fe, the ship is too small for 13 people, the wave is also too big to go out. Few people vomit and my husband did also, we asked for one more towel on the boat, but they refused to give us. I don’t understand why is so hard. The guide is not nice for us, he just want to get the tour done, he didn’t share so much information and very strict about his rules. It was very terrible experience like a disaster for us. Also, the communication between agent and guides has problems. The car didn’t pickup us at the correct place in the morning, since I already gave them the right direction of our hotel. And double check the day before. The guide still went to the wrong place, and not even called us just left. We had not choice but to take a taxi by ourselves to catch the boat. Of course they refund us the cost, just annoying to have something happened like this. The last day, we should be pickup from the hotel to the airport. Again the guide with a car they called for us didn’t show up again. We don’t have time to wait them to arrange another taxi, but to go by ourselves. When I texted the agent about it, they only said we will check what’s going on. Until now, after 3 weeks we already came back home, they didn’t reply anything, not even an apology. The end of the trip they never ask how was it or anything. Please consider to book with other agent to arrange your tour. Their price is much higher than you book individually. And the quality is not the same as they promised.

Everything was AMAZING!!! Loved the yacht, the crew, the guides, the food, the experiences..... everything!!!!!!!

Too short, but that was our fault. They do nickle and dime you to death; $1here, $5 there for all the transport. The location was beautiful, the hotel was good. Guides were nice and helpful. The trip was overall worth it, will most likely go back.
