The organisation was great - right from the information available at the outset, the booking process, through to arriving in Quito and being met by a rep, to meeting a rep in the hotel, meeting Danilo at the Galapagos airport and then being handed over to Omar who then looked after the rest of it. The itinerary of the tour was superb and made full use of the time without it feeling like doing too much and the CEOs brought everything to life and added real value.Show more
