    My guide was fabulous! Absolutely can’t say enough good things about him. Other than that, though, I was pretty disappointed with this tour. I’m honestly just not sure what I paid for? I guess hotels and transportation, but I feel like I could have organized this myself and saved a ton of money. It felt like NOTHING was included - no meals, no activities - everything worthwhile was an “optional add-on,” and the alternative was to just hang out at the beach. Which is fine, but again, something I could have sorted out on my own. I think y’all need to be more transparent about what you’re offering for the cost.

    Galapagos is a once-in-a-lifetime destination with stunning wildlife interaction, and everyone should experience it with a local professional who has the enthusiasm of Gustavo!

    What an adventure! I can't believe how much we packed into a week. Interacting with the animals was such a magical experience and Gustavo's insight and knowledge was the icing on the cake.

    Really good experience and a great way to experience the Galapagos. Felt we got to see so many highlights of the galapagos during this trip and was one of the highlights of our long term travels.

    The Galapagos has been one of my favorite places I?ve visited. The tour was well organized and overall I feel as though I was able to see many aspects of the islands. Being able to see the animals in their natural habitat and interact with them was incredible. I will never forget my experience and group from the trip especially the snorkeling trip swimming with sea lions, turtles, and a shark.
