- TTTara· March 27th, 2025The itinerary was great. Most of the guides were good. But if things get messed up (our flight off the islands was cancelled) GUIDEcuador will leave you hanging.

Helen
Asked on February 22nd, 2023We are looking at 2 separate trips because my kids have different vacation times. 1. First trip is for my son who is 15 and me (adult woman)--start around 3/5. 2. 2nd trip is for 14, 9 and adult man (dad) --start around 3/19. We have 14 days so have more time but some of us get a bit sea sick so don't want to be staying on boat/cruise entire trip. However, we also don't want to miss some of the remote islands. Can this trip be extended out by 1-2 days to go to more remote islands?
- GUIDEcuador TravelOperator•Written February 2023
Yes we can add to this program more Islands in terms to see as much as possible. On top of the itinerary we can add Española Island (1 more night in cristobal). Plazas Island (1 more night in Santa Cruz). North Seymour Island (1 more night on Santa Cruz). With this you will see a lot more of the Galapagos. So the additional per person for 3 extra nights (hotel and tours included) usd 1250.

Asked on November 6th, 2022Is it safe to travel to the Galapagos as a solo, female traveler? Could you please tell me the main difference between each tour? What would be the cost for one additional night post tour in Quito?
- GUIDEcuador TravelOperator•Written November 2022
The outdoors we can operate with even 1 person (adding single supplement) and Galapagos Big 5 we need 3 + people.

Traveler•Written November 20221. Is there a way to upgrade to 4* hotels and if yes, what would the cost be? 2. Is the flight Quito - Galapagos - Quito included? If it is not included, how much is the flight? 3. The last night in Quito is not included. How much would the additional night cost?
- GUIDEcuador TravelOperator•Written November 2022
We can upgrade your hotels for usd 900 extra. Flight is not included, price per person usd 480. Last night in Quito depends of the hotel type. You could easily stay in a hotel next to the Airport.

Asked on September 26th, 2022Are the flights to and from quito included in the tour? If it isn't can you please let us know if you can book it and give us the cost estimate? Are there meal options easily available because we can see that on certain days dinner is not included
- GUIDEcuador TravelOperator•Written September 2022
Flights in/out Galapagos are not included, price per person for december usd 550. You sleep at the islands, so easily you can find places to eat. December is high season and availability is getting difficult, so I recommend you decide it shortly.

Traveler•Written September 2022So is it that flight will cost on top of the tour cost but will be booked by your tour?
- K
Kelly
Traveler•Written September 2022Ok so the tour says "Starts in quito" and "Ends in quito" which should include the flights right? So are you saying flights are included but we have to pay 550 on top of tour cost?
- GUIDEcuador TravelOperator•Written September 2022
As I told you round trip flight to Galapagos is not included, you can see on Exclusions it says clearly NOT includes flights. Once you book and confirm the tour We will be able to call you if need it to arrange the flights or help you booking it.

Asked on September 20th, 2022Could you please let me know if you use a particular airline for the flight included in the tour? Lastly I was wondering if you could tell me the general age ranges of the travellers that have book on these dates: 25, 26, 27, 28, 29 and 30th of December?
- GUIDEcuador TravelOperator•Written September 2022
Flights are not included in the rate, we assist you booking separately for December is usd 550 approx. Quito/ Gps / Quito. For all the dates you mentioned we are only accepting private request because December is peak season and also nobody wants to share a room.
