We were expecting another group tour, so were a little surprised by the fact that there was no group, no tour guide per see and no coach. However , we loved the service we received, the one on one help and attention. It was so powerful to arrive at the second island in the Galapagos and trying to put my bags out of the water taxi, from a ferry, and having somebody say, "Hi Cyra, welcome, your taxi is waiting.".Everybody was on time, it was organized and coordinated. It was a great price, a wonderful experience and I would highly recommend it to anybody. Thank you.Show more

I gave this 4 stars because the entire Galapagos experience is so amazing. However, this tour is misrepresented as one of the other reviewers noted. Our 9-day tour was presented to us as "Fully Guided - An experienced guide will be with you for the entire trip." It also states that you will join this small group "and forge lifelong friendships." My husband and I had just finished a fully-guided small group tour (with a different tour company) through Ecuador mainland and we truly did have a guide with us 24/7 and we had a small group of 16 people that we traveled with for 8 days. This is NOT that type of tour. My husband & I were the only 2 on this 'tour' - which really isn't a tour but rather a guide in each island is responsible for explaining to you what to expect for those 1-2 days and may help you get to those tours/ferries/etc for which the operator made the reservations for. Some guides were excellent and helped us navigate airports, ferry lines, and tour boats. Others we saw 5-10 minutes upon arrival at the island and were told to ask the hotel lobby staff if we had any questions during our stay. Others sent a taxi driver - whom typically didn't speak English. This is definitely not a fully guided tour. You spend a lot of time on your own - which worked OK for us but certainly not what we expected.Show more
