Is the tour available starting on January 28 or January 29?

Yes we still have open spaces available for Jan 29.

Do your tour involve snorkeling and how many snorkeling tours does it include? Do you have the Cotopaxi and Banos tours or would that be something I would arrange through what I have today? Also do you have any beach extension to anywhere?

Yes, our tour does include snorkeling activities. Specifically, there are three snorkeling tours included: Kayak tour to Darwin Bay, Kicker Rock Tour, Tintoreras Islet Tour, and Bartolome. Regarding Cotopaxi and Banõs, those tours are not included in the current itinerary, but we can definitely help you arrange them as optional add-ons for an extra cost. As for a beach extension, we do offer options - would you be interested in beaches on the mainland (Ecuadorian coast) or would you prefer to extend your stay in the Galápagos?

Can you please share your children ages?

Can I request assistance with travel insurance and emergency contacts?

You can reach out to us via the Ask a Question button for any travel support-related inquiries.

I want to book this tour but need to start and finish in Quito. How do I change this? I don't want to start in Guayaquil.

once you book the program we will update the location in this case Quito

Can we start and finish in Quito? Also can we have transport leave early to be on the 10.35 plane to Quito? One more question...If we land in Quito at 1456 will we have enough time to catch the 1525 plane to Lima?

yes we can offer this program from Quito and end in Quito if your flight to Galapagos is early we will pick up you by 7:00 am to catch a plane in 40 minutes is too short time No recomended (high change to miss this flight to Lima)

I am traveling alone but happy to share a room with another solo traveler. The extra cost for a private room would keep me from booking this tour. Is it an option to share a room?

we only have this departure as single supplement, there is no other people booking this depart however we can confirm it with 1 person

GUIDEcuador did a wonderful job of curating our Galapagos adventure. It connected us with outstanding guides, and most of the trips turned-out to be private tours. One exception was the tour of Isabela Island, for which we joined a larger group. The guide for that tour was knowledgable but had a sort of nervous energy that made it difficult to relax and enjoy sights. The logistics for handing-off between guides was mostly seamless; however, on the final day our "chaperone" arrived late, was a little young, and was very disinterested. He made sure that we arrived at the airport on time, but he sat apart from us and seemed to be trying to avoid any interaction. Overall though, both the scenery and the wildlife were unforgettable. Highly recommended!Show more

Thank you so much for sharing your experience and for your kind recommendation. We’re really happy to hear that you enjoyed the incredible scenery and wildlife of the Galapagos, and that most of your tours were private with excellent guides. That’s exactly the type of experience we aim to create for our travelers. We truly appreciate your honest feedback about the Isabela Island tour and the final-day chaperone. We’re sorry those moments didn’t fully meet your expectations, and please know that your comments help us improve. We’ll be following up with our local team to make sure future travelers receive the warm, attentive service we’re known for. Thank you again for traveling with us. It was a pleasure helping organize your Galapagos adventure, and we’d love to welcome you back to Latin America someday. Warm regards, Guide Team

We could not have had a better tour! From start to finish we didn't have to do a thing. They seamlessly provided service from one island or tour to the next. The pace of each day was very leisurely. We enjoy all the tours at each island. Each island had such a different feel. We loves every second of our tour there. We did upgrade our hotel package to be closer to the beach or ports. This is a great idea so you are right in the best spot for restaurants and coming and going from tours. We love the hotels we stayed with just perfection. We have traveled to over 50 countries and this trip was by far our favorite! I guessing it was how this company went above and beyond. We have a rule not to travel to the same place twice. We are breaking this rule to come back to the Galapagos again next year. Thank you so much! See you next year! BrandonShow more

Just wanted to share that our trip to the Galapagos Islands was fantastic. Everything worked out seamlessly! The hotels and the tours recommended by Guidecuador were excellent! Hotel locations in particular were ideal. We did all as promised, especially the awesome snorkeling with sharks and pinguins, that experience was very special for us. Also, the communication with the staff was very easy for us too. It was nice that we could all check out the daily plan at any time, and be able to pull up all the vouchers and tickets Thank you again Sofia and Alejandro from Guidecuador for making our bucket list place tour an unforgettable lifetime experience.

GUIDEcuador provided a smooth tour with a fantastic itinerary. Traveling with a friend of mine, we did a tour of the Galapagos Islands starting from Quito (we were able to have them book our flights to and from the islands as well since that had not been included in the original price). The tour representatives on each of the islands were there to greet us and send us off every step of the way – we felt very well taken care of. The local guides on each excursion were fantastic. Accommodations were great – clean, and friendly staff. The tour itself was well paced with a mix of hiking, snorkeling, downtime, and so many amazing animals and experiences. I cannot recommend Alejandro’s GUIDEquador team enough for this one-of-a-kind adventure!Show more

  Traveler•Written October 2025
  Hi, yes, I am interested in both options, the Ecuadorian coast and staying in Galapagos. The primary criteria for us to consider a 4-day beach stay would be a nice beachfront hotel with ocean views and balcony rooms. If that's not available, we wouldn't stay there. And yes, if you can provide Cotopaxi and Quiltoa Lagoon Hike (2 lakes and 1 volcano) and Banos Amazon for the add-ons, that would be great.

  Alexander
  Traveler•Written October 2025
  Ok, I like everything but we are looking for more of a resort hotel if we are going to spend multiple days just relaxing there. This one seems to have one restaurant only and a road between the hotel and the beach, correct? Is there anything that is more resort-like? Also, what does the Banos Waterfalls route and surroundings mean on 12/28? Is there more detail of that day?
- GUIDEcuador TravelOperator•Written October 2025
  For a more resort-style experience, we can offer Punta Centinela at the Royal Decameron Resort. This property offers a more all-inclusive resort atmosphere, with multiple restaurants, pools, and direct beach access. Regarding December 28th - the 'Banos Waterfalls Route and Surroundings' includes a scenic tour along the famous 'Ruta de las Cascadas,' which features several stunning waterfalls such as Pailon del Diablo and Manto de la Novia. You'll also have the chance to explore the charming town of Banos, visit local viewpoints, and enjoy some light adventure activities.
