- Russell· July 14th, 2025This was a fantastic tour!! The group came together and became one happy family. And Lorenzo, our guide, was excellent! If you’re interested in the Galapagos, this is the tour you should take!Show more
- Carrie· March 7th, 2025This was an excellent vacation. The activities were varied and always fascinating, the boat, meals and crew were wonderful and the guide Carlos was super accessible and knowledgeable. Transfers were smooth and well organized as well the intervened to get us on an earlier flight when there was a delay in our flights - even without us calling for help.Show more
- Antonela· February 23rd, 2025My tour, the Galapagos Island Hopping, was excellent. The tour guide was fantastic, very knowledgeable and adaptable. The itinerary was great too. Highly recommend this tour, but add another couple of days to visit other islands on your own too.Show more

Alexandra
Asked on April 29th, 2024The description says Guayaquil to Quito but the itinerary says it starts in Quito. The description mentions Cuenca but the itinerary doesn't. Which is correct the description or the itinerary? I want to go to Cuenca, does it go to Cuenca or not. If not, do you have one which goes to the places this one goes too plus Cuenca?
- Intrepid TravelOperator•Written April 2024
The description is incorrect, we have notified Tour Radar to update the trip page. Ecuador Highlands Itinerary starts and ends in Quito and does not include Cuenca.
