Can I arrange to have a private rooms on this tour? I am a senior sole traveler.

will i be able to get a private room?

There is a zero availability for my own room for this departure. We can try and request it with the local team but it is not guaranteed that they will approve it.

How many total people on a tour? How many spaces do you have left? Do all accommodations have private toilet and shower? How much to book extra hotel nights in Quito? Is a tour guide with us the entire time of the tour?

There would be a maximum of 16 people on this tour and we currently only have 1 space left on this departure date The cost for extra night in Quito at the start or end of the trip would be USD45.00 per night The tour CEO will be with you the whole trip, except during free time, when you are free to explore.

What would be the approximate single supplement price?

On this tour you can pay the price as per the website and share with another solo traveller of the same gender, or pay and extra cost of 299.00 USD and have your own room.

How does the single room supplement work?

If you prefer not to share a room, you can request a single room supplement for an additional charge. This guarantees privacy and comfort throughout the tour.

Interested in adding extra days to the trip in the islands

We can add extra nights at the start or end of the trip in Quito for 75 EUR per twin/double room per night. We cannot add extra nights in the islands.

Can you accommodate vegan meals on this adventure? How many spaces are left?

There is 1 space left and yes, we can accommodate vegans on all our Ecuador/Galapagos trips.

Does tour include airport transfers? Available flights for us arrive at 1230 am and does this mean we should plan on arriving an extra day early?

This tour does not include airport transfers however they can be added for an additional cost. You are able to arrive anytime on day one so flights arriving at 12:30 am is okay. If you are able to arrive a day early we can help with booking extra hotel nights at the staring hotel for the tour.

Can you provide details on travel insurance requirements for the tour?

All travelers must have Emergency Medical Travel Insurance that covers medical expenses, emergency evacuation, and repatriation back to your home country. The combined benefits must cover at least USD 200,000 per traveler. We highly recommend an all-inclusive policy that also covers cancellation and interruption to protect your investment.

An amazing trip, especially for the wildlife on the Galapagos Islands! I'm glad to have stayed on a less frequently visited island (Floreana) for 2 nights!

The guide in the Galapagos was lovely, couldn’t fault her at all. However, I do feel that the trip is a lot more expensive than it should be! I appreciate there is a bit of a mark up when booking things through a tour but the money I would have spent doing the trip myself would have been considerable less. Most of the activities included were either walks I.e free or visits to places that were also free to get in!Show more

The tour overall was great, I learned a lot, saw some cool animals and viewpoints, got to climb some volcanoes and snorkel with sharks. José was lovely once we reached Galapagos and took care of everything from there, our G rep never turned up for the initial meeting in Quito and never called to say they would be late/not coming - we waited an hour, tried calling numerous times and had to get reception to call a general g adventures number to get any information about what was happening with our flights the next morning.Show more
