BELUGA CRUISE REVIEWS
Cruise rating: 3.9/5 - 2 customer reviews
Dear Elizabeth
Thanks for your message. We had an absolutely lovely time on Beluga: the guide David Paez was very good and knowledgeable and the Beluda crew could not have been better. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and all arrangements were seamlessly good. I am definitely going to recommend you to my friends.
All the best

Hi Veronica!
Overall everything was great! The driver was on time or early, and extremely helpful! Even making sure we checked into our hotels and flights on time and without any difficulty. The guide gave us a great tour and history of Quito and was very receptive to our needs. And the Beluga was great! We really appreciated you getting us a full bed . The hotels were also wonderful and appreciated having wifi at the Marriott
Also we LOVED Tony our driver. He was extremely professional and very helpful! We loved having him drive us and we would have given him 6/5 stars if we could as he went way beyond our expected duties of him. We were delighted to find that he was our driver the entire time we were in Ecuador!
Everything was exceptional!
