Customer Reviews
- Michael· August 23rd, 2025The 7 day Galapagos Islands tour is a good way to see 3 of the many islands. There are many early mornings activities so it was reassuring to have some free time before dinner. On the 3 mornings that require very early transfers, we only got breakfast once. The transfers require a short taxi ute ride followed by a short boat ride ($1 cost) before reaching the ferry (do not sit at the front as you will feel every bump and may not get fresh air (think fumes)). We selected Standard accommodation and we were disappointed with the lack of expected facilities (no chair to sit on, no towel rack, room facing the main street) but at least they had running water (once it was fixed at 1 hotel), a bed and air conditioning (1 sounded like a jet engine). The tours were great and catered for all participants (languages and speed of walking). If you do the hike to Sierra Negra, ensure you have good boots, sun cream, plenty of water and snacks and maybe walking poles to cope with the rough terrain after reaching the craters rim. If you go snorkelling ensure you hire wetsuits and we thought they were provided - they were only once provided out of the 3 occasions. Josselyn was very helpful notifying us of changes to times and fixing some of the accommodation problems.Show more
- Molly· August 15th, 2025I commend Responsible Travel South America on a wonderful tour to Ecuador and the Galapagos. They were very effective in answering my many questions throughout the planning process and our private family tour was well executed, enjoyable and fun.Show more
- Rupinder· August 1st, 2025It was a memorable trip for us. We thoroughly enjoyed our time in Ecuador & left with very good memories. All the guides & vehicles were great. Just one feedback for improvement ... accommodation in Quito (Yellow House) was a bit sub-standard (room housekeeping wasn't done at all during our first stay of 4 nights) ... I would avoid Yellow House in the future! Accommodation as well as breakfast in Banos was very good.Show more

Asked on March 14th, 2023On day 4 is the snorkling included in the tour or do we have to pay for it separately? What is the time for day 1 that it starts and what is the end time for the tour on the last day? And what are the options for meals that we have a purchase? what time do the local areas close for meals?
- Responsible Travel South AmericaOperator•Written March 2023
- On day 4, after the Sierra Negra hike that will end around 4 PM, you will have time to snorkel on your own in the nearby free beaches (it is not a scheduled activity and not guided/included). Flights are not included, so the starting time for day 1 will depend on the domestic flight that you will book. As for the end time for the tour on the last day, it will depend on the return flight. Flights arrive to Galapagos between 12 to 2pm and they depart back to mainland late in the morning (11am to 12pm). Breakfast is always included at the hotel. We have some box lunches for some tours and the rest of the lunches and dinners you can explore on your own and enjoy local food and international cuisine at multiple local restaurants, which stay open until 9 to 10 PM.
