It was a short tour that we squeezed in before our longer tour in Peru so no complaints but wish we had stayed longer in Galapagos too and visited some islands. The tour was simple and easy going. Not really a group tour but several one day tours. since we had different people with us in different days. The guides were friendly and respectful. The islands are a step back in time. Felt like we were in a Jurassic parks movie with giant turtles iguanas and seals. The boat trips were amazing. A very unique place.
