What are the best Machu Picchu and Galapagos tours?

Tour: Quito + Galapagos Hotel Based + Peru

Good Morning, Diana,

I hope you had a beautiful Easter Holiday.

We have returned safely to our home this past Saturday evening following two glorious weeks of travel to the Galapagos Islands and Peru. Everything about our trip was fabulous. The attention to detail that your company provided and the choice of hotels were spectacular. We very much appreciated being looked after by your local guides and drivers. It was the trip of a lifetime with many incredible memories.

I genuinely appreciate all the time and effort you put into helping us plan this trip over the past 1.5 years. As I stated, your company is spectacular and provided us with the journey of a lifetime.

Thank you for everything,
With deepest gratitude

Tour: Ecuador and Galapagos Package

Dear Gabriela,

I want to thank you and your team for your outstanding service for our trip to Ecuador/Galapagos this past week. Your customer service has been impeccable from the start, always very quick to respond and clarify my questions during the booking process. When we lost our luggage for a few days at the beginning of the trip, you and your team were so helpful in dealing with the airline representative. Luckily everything worked out fine in the end. The excursions that you presented to us were excellent from the choice of restaurants to hotels to the guides. This is one of the most memorable trips my family has ever taken. Galapagos is such a special place, and we look forward to coming back in the future!

Sincerely,

Dear Gabriela,

We are already home from our fantastic trip to Ecuador and Galapagos and I have to say: we are all missing your beautiful country already...

First of all: many many thanks to you (and Lilian Chafla before you) for all your help making this trip real.

All those emails we exchanged made our trip so smooth and relaxing because we were prepared.

Thanks for your time and tips, everything was just perfect.

We had fantastic guides, both on mainland (Maria E. Segura and our great driver Marcelo Proaňo) and on Galapagos (Juan).

They were very nice people, knew a lot about your country and also answered all our questions during the trip.

Please, tell them again "MUCHAS GRACIAS".

The hotels we stayed in were again super great, very pleasant, very well located. We wouldn’t change anything.

The food was - fantastic, sooo good everywhere. All those restaurants we visited for lunches... It was a gourmet trip for us as well.

The itinerary on mainland - very well prepared, everything was smooth (except unexpected landslide on the way to Guayaquil) and we saw such nice places. I took hundreds of photos, so Ecuador will stay with us forever.

On Galapagos we felt like in the Paradise. Eco Galaxy catamaran was like a 5* hotel.

I mentioned already our guide Juan, can’t forget about the crew - from the captain to the engineers, all were smily, helpful all the time, we enjoyed a lot of fun on the boat with them.

Food - it was like in a Michelin Star restaurant, lunch and dinner 3-course menus, fresh, always arranged on the plates and sooo good.

And the program, again, we saw as much as we could, enjoyed every minute on the boat, on the islands and mainly snorkelling and exploring the marine and underwater life.

You all in Ecuador did an amazing job and this vacation will remain in our hearts forever. We felt safe, welcome, enjoyed every minute every day.

THANKS, THANKS, THANKS to Ecuador, we will always promote you country...

And maybe we come back once :-).

With many regards,

Tour: Cruise + Land Ecuador + Amazon + Peru

Hi Esteban,

Thank you, thank you, thank you. We had an amazing trip. You could not have planned this any better nor had the staff more attentive, guides were friendly and very knowledgeable and the hotels were very nice. Swissotel was the best. The Hathaway’s became ill a couple of days after we got there and the hotel staff arranged for a doctor to come to their room and look after them. Everything ran like clock work. We were met on time at every part of the trip regardless of our arrival time. We would not have been able to plan such a trip on our own. I will gladly give your name and contact to anyone I know planning a trip to either the Galapagos or Machu Picchu. Your planning was outstanding.

Also, the Travel Group in Peru were amazing. John Hathaway in our party had his wallet fall out of his pocket at the hotel in Lima. We notified the hotel, they located the wallet and Daniela from the Travel Group met us at Lima airport on our return flight to give John his wallet, then went the extra mile and arranged for us to go to Museo Larco for the afternoon and the taxi to come back and pick us up, instead of sitting in the airport all afternoon. Our flights didn’t leave until after midnight so it would have been a long wait. Thank you doesn’t seem enough.

I would appreciate it if you forward this to your supervisor. I would like them to know what an outstanding job you did for us.

Our best regards.

Dear Magus,

On behalf of our group, I wanted to thank you for organizing such a perfect Ecuador tour for us!! Everything ran like clockwork and we loved all of our tour guides. There were many moving parts to our adventure (flights, transfers, hotels, ferries, meals, guides, etc.) and we were extremely pleased with it all. Our tours in Quito went beyond our expectations, the Napo Wildlife experience was fantastic, and the people and wonders of the Galápagos Islands made this trip one we will always treasure.

Thanks to you and the Galapagos Travel Center for a job well done!!

Sincerely,

Tour: Tailor-made Tour Package

Hi, Peter.

We are now back in Sweden, tired but very happy with our trip. All expectations were met by a wide margin, and it was great to be pampered from landing in Quito to his departure from Lima.

A very big thank you to you and your colleagues in Ecuador and Peru. Thanks also for the nice weather, even though it is the rainy season, we had no interference from above.

With best regards.
Sincerely,
