Joel· December 3rd, 2021Excellent trip! Cesar (“Cheche”) was a phenomenal guide, I do not think anyone could be a better guide or person. Only issue we had (and other people on the trip) was poor communication of the trip information for the start of the trip.Show more

Show moreTrip date: November 2021- Alfie· April 20th, 2017First the good things: Galapagos is an amazing! Everyone should visit to see what makes this a uniquely special place on the planet. Also, our guide (Juan Martin) was excellent! Bad things: It's expensive - but most people already understand this. Also, there was only THREE people total on this tour! Whilst they were nice - this does not amount to "group" travel. The whole point is mix with a bunch of people, and also the safety benefits this brings. If I had to do this again - I would have gone with G Adventures. I saw their group and it was like 10-15 people. Really disappointed with Geckos.Show moreTrip date: April 2017
