  • 12 Days From the Andean Magnificence to Uyuni Salt Flats: A Journey Through Bolivia reviewer 1
    · March 25th, 2022
    This was an absolutely fabulous tour for someone on a budget. I was a woman traveling alone and felt perfectly safe too. I really enjoyed all the tours and had no problems except one small miscommunication. We went I On a hike to a volcano and I was told it was 3 miles, but it ended up being 10 miles. I had broken my ankle about 6 months before so there were a few problems- but I made it and it was a wonderful hike. Overall completely enjoyed the experience. I would definitely recommend to others.

    Are the Galapagos tours suitable for families traveling with a 2 year old toddler? What are the pricing options for children?

    Tour Details
    • Responsible Travel South AmericaOperatorWritten February 2023

      This is an active itinerary not really suitable for toddlers. The baby might get seasick. Kicker Rock Snorkeling tour is not suitable for kids or toddlers nor is the uninhabited island visit. I can work on an itinerary with some beach time, but many tours include hiking and snorkeling and transportation by speedboat which might cause discomfort to a 2-year-old.
