5 Days Tour to Explore Santa Cruz ,Isabela and Santa Fe Galapagos
Real Dreams
This was a great experience in The Galapagos. All details were handled by Real Dreams tour company. Starting at the airport in Baltra, our guide Enrique met us inside the airport, led us to the line for the bus. He told us where to put our luggage and where to wait. The bus took us to a ferry. At the end of the ferry ride a driver was waiting to take us to the Tortoise Ranch. There we had lunch and Enrique gaves a tour of the grounds. Afterwards, our driver took us to our hotel in Santa Cruz. Enrique made sure we were checked in before leaving.... That is all the details for just one day. Each day involved more details. Everyday someone met us at our hotel to take us on an adventure. When we travelled to Isabella Island, our guide, Glenda, was waving at us from the docks. My grandson asked if I knew everyone in the Galapagos! All of our guides were local residents who shared their knowledge and insights. The only additional costs for us were the dollar per person water taxi rides and tips. We did some shopping, stopped for ice cream and had about 4 additional meals. No matter what, you will see the animals and experience the richness The Galapagos Islands have to offer. It's best with friends who take care of the details!

4-Day Wildlife Tour in Santa Cruz Island
Exceptional service by Galápagos a la Carte and Byron Rueda
I was in Ecuador for a family function and discovered I was close to the Galápagos so decided to go there for 4 days. Galapagos a la Carte took care of all the details and did a fantastic job. Every detail was carefully and thoroughly handled. Byron Rueda was amazing! He was extremely well organized and helpful and it was a pleasure to meet him in person. He even went so far as to check me in for my flights to and from Quito and sent me boarding passes. Every aspect of my trip was expertly and comprehensively taken care of. Anyone contemplating a trip to the Galapagos should keep Byron and Galápagos a la Carte in mind. I highly recommend both
