    Overall wonderful experience. Small minus point: there were often only one tour possible on the days off and that had a person limit. However, the guides were all very nice and excellent.

    I have travelled with Intrepid 3 times but will not use them again. They made a major error in reimbursing credit card charges and refuse to fix it. Will not take a chance that they make another error regarding a trip, just in case the refuse to fix it again! I guess customers are not important to them, they do not mind losing some over their own mistakes.

    While I liked the trip and excursions, I felt that we were being told when the daily meeting was going to be instead of asking when it would be convenient. It kept getting planned to make us have a late dinner time, or we would have to rush through an early dinner in order to be back in time

    Galapagos Island is wonderful, however the tour guide was terrible so I would likely recommend my friends to do it themselves and not with a tour.
