- BHBrandon· May 1st, 2025We could not have had a better tour! From start to finish we didn't have to do a thing. They seamlessly provided service from one island or tour to the next. The pace of each day was very leisurely. We enjoy all the tours at each island. Each island had such a different feel. We loves every second of our tour there. We did upgrade our hotel package to be closer to the beach or ports. This is a great idea so you are right in the best spot for restaurants and coming and going from tours. We love the hotels we stayed with just perfection. We have traveled to over 50 countries and this trip was by far our favorite! I guessing it was how this company went above and beyond. We have a rule not to travel to the same place twice. We are breaking this rule to come back to the Galapagos again next year. Thank you so much! See you next year! BrandonShow more

- AAurora· February 19th, 2024Just wanted to share that our trip to the Galapagos Islands was fantastic. Everything worked out seamlessly! The hotels and the tours recommended by Guidecuador were excellent! Hotel locations in particular were ideal. We did all as promised, especially the awesome snorkeling with sharks and pinguins, that experience was very special for us. Also, the communication with the staff was very easy for us too. It was nice that we could all check out the daily plan at any time, and be able to pull up all the vouchers and tickets Thank you again Sofia and Alejandro from Guidecuador for making our bucket list place tour an unforgettable lifetime experience.

- Michel· February 3rd, 2024Most excursions were good except for two e versions: The one from Santa Cruz to Baltelomeo, the cruise ride was very rough and the captain was going too fast. And the last at Sierra Negra. Time was too tight and the terrain was very muddy. We had to leave the group and return on our own not to miss checking out of the hotel in Isabella Island and catch the speed boat back to Santa CruzShow moreGUIDEcuador Travel commented on this reviewHello Michel, thanks for share with us your travel experience, your comments will help us to improve our services.

- Gustavo· December 11th, 2023The islands are great. The hotels are ok, except the one in Santa Cruz witch is great, Hotel Isla. The trekking for the volcano in Isabela is very tiring, and there is no time to change before taking the speedboat back to Santa Cruz. Tourradar could give the guests the possibility to fly back, even with an extra cost. The snorkel were great, really incredible, specially the one in Leon Dormido, Kicker Rock. In all I strongly recommend this tour.

- Amelia· December 31st, 2021We had such a satisfying experience with our travel designer and Guidecuador Travel. Alejandro was very attentive, prompt and planned the most memorable holiday in the Galapagos and Ecuador mainland! From the very beginning, we knew that the designer was the fit for us. He understood exactly the type of vacation style we were looking for and completely exceeded our expectations! Our entire itinerary moved seamlessly from transfers to tours and flights. Alejandro was always a text or phone call away to answer any questions we had no matter the time of day. His customer service and attention to detail were not only evident when speaking to him but in the itinerary itself. We had the best lodging with breathtaking views at every stop! The tour guides were also first class and it always felt that we received the best service no matter where we went. I highly recommend this travel company and Alejandro to anyone looking for a once-in-a-lifetime holiday to Galapagos and Ecuador mainland. He is simply the best in the business and I will use no one else the next time we return to South America!Show moreGUIDEcuador Travel commented on this reviewDear Amelia, It was a pleasure to assist you and be part of your wonderful vacation in Ecuador.
