- CWColleen· June 23rd, 2024The hostel in Quito was terrible. Most of our group paid extra for different hotels so they didn’t have to stay there twiceShow moreTrip date: June 2024

Intrepid Travel commented on this reviewHi Xiaofeng, Thank you for your review. We are pleased to hear that you enjoyed the itinerary and found the trip to be a comfortable pace. We look forward to welcoming you on another Intrepid trip in the not so distant future.Trip date: March 2023- Ken Shiu· May 27th, 2023I was disappointed with the booking process as there was no direct communication with the tour provider Intrepid. Further TR should have explained that there is a "Upgrade" version of the same 9 Day Galapagos trip package. I would have preferred the upgrade version of the package with options of paying single supplements etc However I was lucky to be in the young vibrant group just being able to keep up with their more energetic a activites. That keeps me feeling young! Beginning with Marcello and Carlos doing the briefing, they are so helpful with questions. Carlos is contactable throughout the trip with my chances in the return flight and connect me with a stay in a Jungle lodge in Cocao. Special mention of Priscela, our tour leader: She showed unprofessionalism and very attentive to my safety and comfort. Over concerned perhaps for possibly unforeseeable frailty in a 75 young senior. She worries about me during the tour more than my mother! So thanks very much Intrepid for a memorable journey in GalapagosShow moreIntrepid Travel commented on this reviewWe are so happy you enjoyed your trip to the Galapagos. Our tour leaders will be proud to hear that they provided such comprehensive and enjoyable service. Thank you for your feedback and we look forward to having your travel with us again :)Trip date: May 2023

- Marta· April 5th, 2023Beside the magnificence of the place and its residents, our guide, Priscila Sotomayor, was also exceptional. Very knowledgeable, always sharing information and answering all sort of questions while preparing us every day as well for what it would be the next experience.

- KHKim· December 22nd, 2021Once we got all the paperwork sorted & through the airport COVID checks etc the fun began! I liked the family style accommodation & the hotel in Santa Cruz, all within walking distance of everything, the same in Quito in the old city. Genesis our very knowledgeable guide from Intrepid was lovely. I think she could suggest different levels for eating out since it is pricier on the islands. Edwardo in Quito with Intrepid was great at guiding us through the airport protocol with test results needed etc but he should have been at the airport to meet us on our return instead of sending someone else as because of COVID we all had. a lot of questions about our last night and our onward journeys the following day & had to wait for him to arrive before we could go out to eat. However these points will be brought up along with others when I write my harsher review to Intrepid regarding the unnecessary anxiety they caused me regarding the lack of communication it letting me know A) that I was even going on the trip (I found out 2 days before)!! Then, I was frantic for those 2 days trying to find out the starting Hotel in Quito. I FINALLY found out the name at almost midnight, 7 hrs before catching the bus into the City. I know by the emails from Tourradar that you were also doing your best so I portion no blame on you. I never want to go through that anxiety again & would definitely choose a different company (probably G.Adventures, over Intrepid in the future).Show moreIntrepid Travel commented on this reviewHi Kim, Thank you for sharing your very kind words about your travel experiences with us.

Asked on December 16th, 2024How would this trip be for an 89 year old with some balance issues? He uses a walker or walking stick(s) and is determined and athletic but is very slow.
- Intrepid TravelOperator•Written December 2024
This trip is rated a 3 out of 5 on our physical scale. while you do not need to be extremely physically fit a good level of basic fitness is needed to really enjoy all aspects of this trip. This trip includes a 17 km hike (approximately 6 to 7 hours) on rocky terrain, most of the islands terrain is uneven which can pose a challenge if there is a concern around balance. Travelers do have the option to opt out of certain activities if they do not feel comfortable participating however, this trip also includes snorkelling on multiple days. Confident swimming skills are required to take part. Alternative activities will not be available. We highly recommend you read through the itinerary as the included activities to make sure that this is the right fit for you.
