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 enjoyed my tour of the ABC (Aruba, Bonaire, Curacao) islands tremendously. Starting off in Aruba, I was met at the airport and transported to the very welcoming and RH Boutique hotel. The next day, I was taken on a full day excursion of Aruba, ending up at Baby Beach. On my last day in Bonaire, I went on a hike at the Arikok National Park, which was great. My next stop was Bonaire. The flight to Bonaire (and later on to Curacao and back to Aruba) by propeller plane was fun, and is a unique and interesting part of the experience. The accommodation in Bonaire at the Delfins resort was excellent. Bonaire is a small Island and the most interesting part of that visit was the trip to the Washington Slagbaii Park, which I highly recommend for nature enthusiasts. My last island was Curacao. I must admit that that was the highlight of my trip. Willemstad is a pretty and picturesque small city with beautifully and colorfully painted buildings which is just small enough to explore by foot. The night lights are beautiful. In addition, the beaches I visited (Grote Knip, Cas Abao and Mambo) are excellent with great and buoyant waters for swimming. All in all a great and relaxing trip. I highly recommend it to all.Show more
