    We experienced so many aspects of this fascinating region of Patagonia. Engrossing and stimulating. The trip was varied, well-paced and brilliantly organized. It's the first time we've been with Guide Ecuador, which says everything about their efficiency, friendliness and organizational skills.

    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
