Do you do a cruise on the Galapagos islands?

In case of Galapagos better a land based program due to the length of the program can be very difficult to find a cruise on specific dates.

Is this trip available from Jan. 8 to Jan. 2005?

yes it is available with single supplement rate

What's the cost of 4 and 5 stars hotel? What time do we come back to Quito on last day?

We checked options as follows: 3* hotels USD 4549 + 750, 4* hotels USD 5470 + 750, 5* hotels USD 7120 + 750. Due to high season in Colombia & Galapagos for January 2025, prices can change shortly. We can only guarantee spaces once the tour is confirmed and booked.

We would give this tour 10 stars!! Our trip to Peru was cancelled last minute by an Irish travel company. We had specific dates we had to travel, so with 5 days notice before flying we contacted tourradar who put us in touch with Alejandro from guidelatam travel who was amazing!! From the minute we booked he contacted us by email and gave us his WhatsApp to have direct contact whenever we needed it before and during the trip. We were two sister in our 50s and felt very safe and reassured at all times. We were met with guides at every stage of the trip and was given the best experience. Alejandro and his team went above and beyond and were extremely professional, had lots of knowledge and were great fun to be around! We loved our experience over the 13 days and will be recommending to others. Thanks for all the laughs and fabulous memories, Fiona & Andria (Ireland)Show more
