A once in a lifetime trip! It have great respect and appreciation for the integrity that the guides and people of the Galapagos have in conserving the islands for future generations.

The food on the trip was excellent. I don’t think I had a bad meal at any point during the whole trip. I really enjoyed the itinerary. I liked the combination of the land and the water Galapagos experience.

Touring Galapagos has a strong ethos as a company, with a commitment to sustainable tourism. This is one of the reasons we loved them. We love this destination for families, A lot of activities.
