    Our 14 day tour was jam packed and we saw so much. We had excellent guides wherever we went. Edison was our most frequent guide and he was top notch. Joslyn from the Tour Company was in regular contact and made us feel most comfortable.

  • G

    Gregory

    Asked on October 26th, 2023

    Would you be able to help me with securing a good price on airfare? What is the best time of year to travel to Amazon Rainforest and Galapagos Islands? How do I know that you are a reputable business and you won't just steal my money? What is your rating on the better business bureau? If I had a friend in the UK that wanted to travel with me to allow double occupancy, would that decrease the price?

    • Responsible Travel South AmericaOperatorWritten October 2023

      Ecuador is a destination that is visitable all year round, including the Amazon Rainforest and the Galapagos Islands. Generally, the Amazon Rainforest will have rain, nevertheless December and January are good months to encounter the Amazon wildlife, while the Galapagos Islands offer pleasant weather year-round, with warmer months including December and January which are simply perfect for travel and enjoy a great weather and encounter unique wildlife. We are part of Travellife Certification, part of the Chamber of German-Ecuadorian Commerce, a registered company in the Ministry of Tourism and Ecuador, and have all related business documents as a legal company to operate in Ecuador and the Galapagos Islands. If you decide to travel with a friend from the UK to enable double occupancy, it may indeed reduce the overall cost.
