The Best of Ecuador & Galapagos 12 Days / 11 Nights

Just book it

My friend and I did a customized private tour across Quito, the Amazon, Banos, and two islands in the Galapagos. Rodney was our tour guide on the mainland and he was by far the best. I cannot recommend him enough. Everyday we knew exactly what we were doing and what we needed to prepare for regarding weather, terrain, and difficulty. Once we left the mainland for the islands, it wasn't as smooth. There were a lot more people involved and less communication, but I think that may just be how it works in the islands. So worth it regardless. I highly recommend!

9 Day Colonial Quito and Galapagos Island Hopping Tour

Excellent Adventure in Ecuador

We just returned home from our 9 day trip to Quito and the Galapagos, and I wanted to thank Rebecca Adventure Travel for the incredible experience. Specifically: *Juan Carlos (home office) - for his excellent guidance and planning for this trip *Danillo (Day 1 and Day 2 guide in Quito) - very friendly and helpful in learning about Ecuador. Always on time for our airport trips and tour. *Ceasar (Day 3 guide in Santa Cruz Highlands) - excellent knowledge about tortoises and very friendly. *Simon (?) (Day 4 Santa Fe snorkeling guide) - very knowledgeable and helpful guide, and especially good at supporting my wife (who is not a great swimmer). *Patricio (Day 5 guide to Charles Darwin Research Center) - friendly and knowledgeable *Adam (Day 6 guide to the sulphur mine in Isabela) - very friendly and helpful. He went above and beyond the call of duty to assist my son (whose leg prevented him from completing the hike) by walking him back to the start - and then catching up to me and my wife at the bottom. *Victor (Day 7 guide to Isabela Wetlands) - very knowledgeable. *Sandra (Day 7 guide to Tintoreras Islet) - very friendly and capable snorkel guide. *Alphonse (Day 8 Los Tuneles snorkeling guide)- very helpful and friendly guide Also, just a few other comments about the trip that may be helpful to people considering this trip: * The hotels (Hotel Ikala Quito, Hotel Ikala Puerto Ayora, and Hotel Volcano) were all comfortable and the staffs were very friendly. * There are many boat trips in the Galapagos. Many of these boat trips are in rough seas. For those who are prone to sea sickness, be aware. The boat rides can be tough, but we survived and enjoyed the snorkeling very much. * The hike to the Isabela sulphur mine/volcano was excellent. However, it was a very challenging and rewarding hike. However, you should be aware that this is a very rigorous hike (and that people who are not used to rigorous hiking should avoid it). In summary, I recommend the Quito/Galapagos trip to those who want to learn about Ecuador, experience up-close the animals of the Galapagos and be led by very friendly, knowledgeable local guides. Above all, I highly recommend Rebecca Adventure Travel to design and implement the entire trip!
