Hello once again, Elizabeth.
We had a most wonderful time in Las Islas Encantadas and would like to commend you for all of your help to arrange this trip for us. The trip did exceed our expectations, as did the cruise ship. I would like to know the name (and the email) of your boss so that we can commend you.
Again, muchas gracias for everything and for helping to make our trip so wonderful.

Hola Esteban,
I wanted to thank you for organizing a wonderful trip! The Legend is an incredible ship— the guides, the staff, the excursions, the food— all of it AND most importantly — the islands and the animals. Wow!
Each day was filled with wonder. What amazing experience. From beginning to end— Tony, our taxi driver, a very kind, on time!, and most helpful person, to the hotels you selected for us. Once again— thank you for making my/our stay in Ecuador memorable.
While Susan was enjoying the rainforest— I had the opportunity to continue my Spanish learning in school, home-stay with a woman who doesn’t speak English and have a wonderful tour guide, Daniela— my Spanish teacher I told you about — I got to visit many of the highlights in and around Quito.
Once again— Gracias!!

Dear Tannya
We have returned home and almost back to normal.
Just wanted to thank you for our wonderful trip on the LEGEND.
The service was beyond excellent…..the food was great…..the crew was so helpful and friendly….. and the guides were expert! What more can I say?!
We had great weather and smooth seas.
All in all, it was a great trip and we had a wonderful time. We will be recommending it to anyone who would like to go to Galapagos.
Also, the Mirolindo Hotel was lovely and having Leonardo as our personal guide around Quito was a very nice bonus.
Thanks again for all your help and arrangements.
Fondly
