- MFM· December 18th, 2024My husband and I booked this trip to celebrate our anniversary and we had such an amazing time! Diego, our travel coordinator was very friendly and helpful, always keeping us on track and there to answer any questions we had. The Ilatoa Lodge is a hidden gem. Marcello and family were so welcoming and kind, and happy to help coordinate anything we needed. Enjoy your morning coffee enjoying the magical landscape and beautiful humming birds that frequent the garden. Bring a lot of cash with you. Almost everywhere in Santa Cruz takes credit cards, but vendors will typically upcharge for usage. When you get to Isabela - everywhere is CASH ONLY - we could not find a single place that took cards. There are ATMs, but they are not reliable so don't depend on being able to use them. Make sure you bring more sunscreen than you think you will need. You can buy more at any of the pharmacies once you get to the Galapagos, but it will be much more expensive so come prepared. Hats and sunglasses are a must. I also highly recommend a wetsuit or a rash guard shirt for snorkeling as the water can be chilly! Wet suits can typically be rented on town. Some other helpful tip: - On Day 2 (when you arrive to the Galapagos) - if you get the chance to drop your bags off at the hotel prior to going to the Darwin Center - DO IT. You will have to walk about a mile each way, so you don't want anything heavy with you. - Eat at the Santa Cruz Brewery and 1835 on Santa Cruz. The food was amazing. - For the beach day -- the hike to the beach is a HIKE. It is about 45 mins over an uneven so wear comfortable shoes. cobblestone pathShow moreEcuador Galapagos Travels commented on this reviewHi Megan, Thank you so much for your detailed and thoughtful review!

- CWCassandra· January 31st, 2024Hi! 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+.Show moreEcuador Galapagos Travels commented on this reviewDear Cassandra! Thank you so much for your fantastic review!

- CWCassandra· January 31st, 2024What a fabulous tour to Quito, Ecuador, and the Galapagos islands! Thank you so very much for having the ability to have professional folks arranging these tours. Jefferson was a gem from the very start. This was our first organized tour, and he held our hand through the entire process. His communication was superb and his knowledge about the tours, transfers, flights, accommodations, and food was on point. Everything went smoothly, and was exactly as the itinerary that was given to us. The guides on the tours were ultra, professional, and they’re knowledgeable. The culture and the people we dearly treasured. we appreciated the two hotels that were in town and walking distance to everything. The price was right and the quality superb, and the communication was outstanding. I hope Jefferson is a trainer for others that arranges tours and speak to people as he has advanced skills in the area of communication, both written and spoken. We had a zoom meeting prior to the trip, and he was very precise with his words and specific with answers to our questions. We will be using TourRadar again. We highly recommend the Quito, Ecuador and Galapagos islands trip. However, please add on your own days prior to the trip in Quito, Ecuador within walking distance to marketplace, unless there are reasons why we stayed high in the mountains. So those looking at this tour please add an extra day in QUITO. Thank you TourRadar for hiring such professional folks like Jefferson.Show moreEcuador Galapagos Travels commented on this reviewDear Cassandra! Thank you so much for your wonderful review!

- JWJürg· July 20th, 2023The tour was relaxed and interesting. The hotels clean with courteous staff. The tours professional. What I really liked is the snorkeling. You float in the water and see many different colored fish. The speedboat rides are a bit tedious, but unavoidable. Kayaking in Tortuga Bay is very nice but it is difficult to see the wildlife. All in all a tour that is definitely worth it.Show moreEcuador Galapagos Travels commented on this reviewDear Jürg! Thank you so much for your wonderful review!

- SDSteven· July 11th, 2021This was THE vacation of a lifetime. We saw SO MANY animals, and truly had our dream vacation. All of the accommodations in Quito, Santa Cruz Island, and Isabella Island were wonderful, and added to this amazing experience. All of the pickup & drop off arrangements, and provided instructions were worry-free. We went on this tour during the COVID-19 pandemic, and all safety precautions were adhered to. We felt so safe in Ecuador and the Galapagos Islands. We couldn't be happier with this vacation and absolutely recommend this tour.Show moreEcuador Galapagos Travels commented on this reviewHi Steven, Thank you for sharing your dream vacation with us!
