We had a wonderful honeymoon while visiting Ecuador & Peru ! The travel agency planned an outstanding stress-free, fun, exciting, and educational trip for us. They were professional and a pleasure to work with. Every day of our trip was a new and exciting adventure. All of our guides and transfers were on time and hospitable. From start to finish, we really had a superb honeymoon. Thank you Alejandro and Guidecuador , see you next time!!

We had an amazing trip thanks to everyone at GuidEcuador! Everyone was so nice, friendly and knowledgeable! They took care of everything so we could enjoy every moment of our vacation. The Galapagos is wonderful and I want everyone to experience it! Use Tour Radar and GuidEcuador, you will not be disappointed!

We 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! Brandon
