This was a trip of a lifetime. The tour catered to all levels of activity and all palates. I wish I had gone 5 years ago when I had a little more energy, but it was all very exciting. Our tour director could not have been more knowlegable or enthusiastic. The group traveling was diverse and very interesting. The staff was friendly, helpful and very good at their jobs. I could not have been more happy with this trip!.Show more

  Is transportation from/to the airport to the hotel included? Is it included to/from the boat? Do we get to stay included at the hotel at the beginning & end of the tour? If I book the city tour, I will need a 3rd nite at the hotel; can you arrange this and at what price?

  Airport transfers in Quito are not included in the price of the trip, but can be added on as an extra, or you can take a taxi. Transfers are included to and from the boat on Galapagos Islands.
