- Lenora· December 11th, 2024I did receive my updated itinerary until day 3 after following the original one, being confused and having to message the operator multiple times. When I did reach out to the operator upset on day 2, she was unkind and blamed me. This was a poor way to handle a solo female traveler in a foreign country. On day 3, she sent me an itinerary that was consistent and things went okay from there. She also misspelt my name on EVERY document so every tour guide and sign with my name on it was wrong for 10 days which I found annoying.Show moreTrip date: December 2024

- MBMaria· November 8th, 2022After the very disappointing start of the trip it was indeed interesting and enjoyable. Our new travel agent put together a good itinerary (together with us ) and took well care of us. I still don’t understand why we weren’t met by a guide at Baltra airport as scheduled. We waited for hours and succeeded to get the last bus out of there and by the ferry there were no more busses to Puerto Ayoro. We had to take a taxi and then get a hotel in Puerto Ayora. During the day we made numerous expensive phone calls to England to get in contact with our “tour operator “ but without success. First in the evening when we were out eating we were contacted. We had already then been to a new travel agent and organised a trip, whichShow moreTrip date: October 2022

Traveler•Written July 2025Is this a group tour with the same people in the group each day? Will we have the same guide each day of the tour? Do you have a direct website? Is the price the same, whether booked through Tour Radar or directly through the company? Are any promotions or discounts available?
- True Ecuador TravelOperator•Written July 2025
The guide is not the same for the entire programme. You join groups according to the activity being carried out. The programme is flexible depending on the date chosen by the passenger. Our agency is True Ecuador Travel, and the price is the same as that offered by Tour Radar. December is high season, so we do not have any offers available for that month.

Asked on June 30th, 2025We are also considering 1-4 in 2026. But there is no schedule yet. December is acceptable. How to fly there? Is there pre and after land tour?
- True Ecuador TravelOperator•Written July 2025
We suggest to fly to Quito and from there take the flight to Galapagos. When passengers book our programmes, we give them access to our app where they find several options to visit before or after their programme and which are normally free of charge.

Traveler•Written December 2024Can I make a flight at 2:20am on 12/30?
- True Ecuador TravelOperator•Written December 2024
No, if you arrive at noon it's fine. The activity takes place in the afternoon and the rest of the program runs normally.

About the type of room, if there is availability in a single room.

If you book the flight on Dec 30 at 2:20 am the program would have to end on the 29th because your return flight is in the early morning of the 30th.
