        4 day/3 night Galapagos Flash - 4**** Hotel tour is really abysmal and a waste of money despite being 'cheap'. My wife and I went on the basis of having only a limited time in the Galapagos, therefore wanting something booked in advance to reduce the pressure of seeing as much as possible. In fact we could have utilised our time much more effectively if we'd self-coordinated. Let me start by saying this tour is not cheap, far from it, we paid £1300 between us for this package. Day 1: you are met at Baltra airport by a guide from Gray line (tourradars local tour operator on the ground in galapagos) - she was on time and very amicable, but then you have to still pay for the public bus to get to the port from the airport- I'm sure that $5 each should be covered within the total amount paid. We arrive at the port, the boat across to Santa cruz was paid for (we later found our this is only $1 per person), as was the taxi on the other side to take us to Puerto Ayora (the main town in Santa Cruz) - essentially where everyone stays as a hub. On the way we went to the tortoise ecological reserve and were given a private tour here but in reality, were only relayed limited information for a location that only costs a nominal single digit dollar entry fee ( you can do this on your own!)- to get here you can take a taxi from the main town once you've settled in to your hotel, if feeling more active you could also cycle. Next we moved on quickly to the Charles Darwin station - again very small entry fee and most of the information is on information placards around the path of the tour around the grounds - really another thing I'd advise you don't need to book a tour for these elements of the itinerary. We then arrived at the hotel just after 5, check in to the hotel was seamless and I must say the hotel was very good, checking online it was around £170per night, so for our 3 nights would have only totalled £510- struggling to see where the near other £800 was accounted. Day 2: your tour guide picks you up at your hotel on a timely fashion to take you to tortuga bay and playa mansa - they pay for your cab to tortuga bay ($2 max). Then you walk down a single path all the way to the beach - there is no entrance fee and again we learnt very little about the island and the location we were visiting as our same tour guide (although very nice), can reel off a set script of information but whenever we asked questions she couldn't understand them and we just had to move on. Later she disclosed she's only been learning English for the last 8 months and perhaps this showed in her lack of receptive comprehension. She walks with you all the way over the initial beach - Playa Brava and takes you to Playa Mansa - all of which you can do yourself for free as she didn't speak to us the whole walk along the beach anyway. They then give you some autonomous time to dip into the water at Playa Mansa - you can get a kayak if you'd like aswell (at your own cost). She waits on the side for an hour. It seems essentially you're paying for someone to escort you on a free activity. We arrived back at the hotel by 11.15am and then had 2.5 hours of time to 'rest' and eat our own lunch as you are not on a tour any longer. In the afternoon we followed our guides instructions to meet at the tour stall next to the church at the port area in Santa Cruz - a short walk from the hotel. We were due to be doing the shared Bahia tour - which is a land and sea tour. This is essentially a locals tour, with everyone apart from us speaking Spanish natively. Luckily the tour guide spoke excellent English and he translated everytime after explaining parts in Spanish but given our experience up to now we were afraid that we'd been lumbered onto a Spanish speaking tour. This tour itself was decent for a half day tour - but half day tours are well under $100pp - again struggling to see where the money goes. Day 3 - is a free day for yourself - which you know about in advance and actually lucky that you have it as you get to book your own tour doing your own research - but piece of advice - do it on the day you arrive as they get booked up fast - don't book it online as it's cheaper in person in the Galapagos. Day 4: because of travel complications with our flight we had to leave at 7am rather than 8.30 and didn't have time for the 'brief tour of Los gemelos'- this is also a free activity that I would recommend you could do at the same time as the eco tortoise reserve and Charles Darwin. We asked, but they couldn't adjust our transfer to the port so we had to pay $25 ourselves for a private taxi to get to the port, even though on the printed itinerary we received from our tour guide said it was a private transfer. We in fact spent around 40 minutes on the phone with them trying to explain this to 3 different people who didn't seem to understand what we meant. Having now been to the Galapagos Islands and seen the cost and quality of tours available, this package tour leaves an extremely sour taste in the mouth. I only hope that reading this will leave you with a greater understanding that this tour charges you a lot for free things and you'd be much better off using your time on the Galapagos booking your own tours and doing your own activities at a fraction of the price - so save your money and don't book!

          This was an amazing trip to three islands with many things to do! The tour introduced the islands well and out guide Genesis was amazing. Genesis was very hands on and proactive with all the activities and presented equally good energies. I highly recommend this tour with Genesis as a really good group tour with a fun guide!

            The tour was relaxed and interesting. The hotels clean with courteous staff. The tours professional. What I really liked is the snorkeling. You float in the water and see many different colored fish. The speedboat rides are a bit tedious, but unavoidable. Kayaking in Tortuga Bay is very nice but it is difficult to see the wildlife. All in all a tour that is definitely worth it.

              We had such a satisfying experience with our travel designer and Guidecuador Travel. Alejandro was very attentive, prompt and planned the most memorable holiday in the Galapagos and Ecuador mainland! From the very beginning, we knew that the designer was the fit for us. He understood exactly the type of vacation style we were looking for and completely exceeded our expectations! Our entire itinerary moved seamlessly from transfers to tours and flights. Alejandro was always a text or phone call away to answer any questions we had no matter the time of day. His customer service and attention to detail were not only evident when speaking to him but in the itinerary itself. We had the best lodging with breathtaking views at every stop! The tour guides were also first class and it always felt that we received the best service no matter where we went. I highly recommend this travel company and Alejandro to anyone looking for a once-in-a-lifetime holiday to Galapagos and Ecuador mainland. He is simply the best in the business and I will use no one else the next time we return to South America!

              Ultimate Galapagos Islands Adventure
              The guides were terrific, very educational and entertaining. We loved the ability to stay at 4 of the different islands, and have an ocean view from every room! We got to see and do so much! I was never board, snorkeling, biking, watching and learning about the animals and environment, hiking, kayaking, etc…. It was great that the agenda was flexible. Having the agenda changed to enable us to be able to participate in all activities instead of having to pick and choose was fantastic! We were excited to find out we could snorkel the tuneles and hike the volcano. The food was fantastic, they were able to accommodate my gluten allergy every we went. All the local restaurants we very good at accommodating allergies as well as giving us a fantastic variety of local delicious foods. All in all it was an amazing trip that I definitely recommend!

                  We had a lot of fun in the Galapagos on the Rebecca Adventure tour. This was different from tour groups in the past since one just follows the itinerary purchased and not necessarily in a big group. For example, the first three days of our 7 day tour overlapped with the 9 day tour, then on day 4 we traveled to a different island while the 9 dayers had one more day on Isabela. It felt like our private tour with others joining us for each excursion. The coordinators for each island were each top notch and met with us each evening to let us know what to expect the next day. Day guides and transportation were always on time. A no worry, no hassle vacation.

                      This was a great experience if you are looking for a little adventure! It is not a luxury, relaxing vacation, but has a good mix of exciting experiences, eating good food, waking up early to travel to new stops, and some time to chill and interact with other travelers.

                      This tour is intended for people who are physically fit,able to walk 6 kilometers a day, love to kayak/snorkel/swim/bike, and still have plenty of energy to enjoy the wildlife. I cannot cope up with the group, but luckily our CEO offered me options like museum visit, tour to Tntoreras. I still was able yo see all the wildlife I need to see exvept the cormorant. I did not expect to stay in a 5 star hotel. I find the accommodation suitable enough for my needs: comfortable bed, air condition, water, electricity, wifi. Special thanks to Sandra, CEO. She is one of the best tour guides I met in my years of travel. She is a great listener and teacher. She was born in Santa Cruz. She knows Galapagos like the palm of her hand.

                      There are a lot of tours to choose from when you are looking at touring in the Galapagos so you need to choose one that is right for you. Best of Galapagos is exactly what it says. We saw everything!!! 10 days was the perfect amount of time to immerse ourselves into everything the islands have to offer. Just brilliant
