- Karen· October 25th, 2022The trip was perfect. Thank you so much. Saw everything, did everything and even though I was traveling solo, enjoyed everything. The ONLY negative was that the first hotel had NO hot water, so taking a shower and washing my hair was another adventure. Neither hotel provided hair dryers, so perhaps you should let future travelers to pack a personal hair dryer. Otherwise, the trip couldn't have been any better.

Laura
Asked on May 29th, 2025Do you provide an airport pickup and transfer to the hotel or do we have to organized it ourselves? Do we have to organize a transfer from hotel to the airport or? During all days of the tour, do we have a guide with us all the time or do we explore by ourselves, as well as transportation? Do we have some limitations regarding the size and number of suitcases? What do you mean by excursions on your own, as well as those that are stated as extra cost? How does it work? I would like to be in a room on my own, not with someone else.
- GUIDEcuador TravelOperator•Written May 2025
We can include a private transfer for USD 70. You will have a guide for a day then later on you have time on your own. We expect all guests carry 1 piece (it is more practical). On the day with extra excursions we recommend tours and excursions but some you can do on your own and free, the other ones you have to pay extra. As a solo traveler you have to select single supplement room (a private room).

Laura
Traveler•Written May 2025Is it 70 for transfer on arrival and departure or just for one? I don't quite understand the part where you say that we have a guide for one day? So nothing that is in the offer has a guide? Do we have to explore everything on our own, or did I get it wrong? What size of the luggage is okay? Is it possible to arrange a tour of the city upon arrival?
- GUIDEcuador TravelOperator•Written May 2025
Yes it is a private transfer just for you. The days are covered with activities except on the day that says free day in Santa Cruz Island (day 5). The rest of days there is always an activity with a guide included as specified in program. 21 kilos bag is ok per person. If you want an extra tour on Day 1 with a guide we can also offer it as extra.

Laura
Traveler•Written May 2025What flight is not included? Do we have to arrange and pay for our flights to get to Quito and back? Or the flight to Galápagos and back is neither included?
