Evaluating 106 reviews, reviewers overwhelmingly had a great experience with this company. Customers consistently praise the staff for their attentiveness, helpfulness, and extensive knowledge, making every interaction pleasant and informative. People frequently highlight the exceptional service, noting that trips were flawlessly planned and executed, exceeding expectations with excellent coordination and stress-free arrangements. The holidays offered are described as wonderful, with many considering them once-in-a-lifetime adventures, and the locations visited are highly appreciated for their beauty and diverse wildlife.

A few people also felt that the location of some hotels was inconvenient, particularly for brief overnight stays or before specific tours.

Knowledgeable guides and sustainable provider

Everything was very well planned and the tour guides were friendly and knowledgable. This company is based in Ecuador so a better choice than overseas tour providers, they care about sustainability and offer more affordable, shorter trips as well as longer ones.

Brilliant Galapagos specialists

From our first contact these guys were prompt helpful and very responsive. When ever we had a question it was answered quickly and they could not have been more helpful in the lead up to the trip.

Once we arrived the service by the ground agent was excellent and the actual cruise itself was superb.

We would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone looking to book a holiday in Galapagos and will certainly be mentioning their name when ever anyone asks us about our trip.

Superb guides, accomodations, and food

From the moment we left the Quito airport to the time we returned, Galapagos Travel had us covered. The guides were excellent, the hotels and food were superb and everything when without a hitch for the trip of a lifetime to Quito, Banos, and the Galapagos Islands.

Not worth the cost

I found the experience less exciting than what I expected and paid for. Excursions were repetitive (how many times you need to see blue footed boobies?). The trip to Genovesa was too long and practically useless. I suggest it be eliminated from the itinerary. And by the way, the food was sort of average, not worthy of a super deluxe cruise. I would not recommend this cruise.

Dear Farhad,

Thank you for sharing your feedback. We are genuinely sorry to hear that your experience did not meet your expectations. The Galapagos are renowned for their incredible biodiversity, and we aim to offer a range of excursions that showcase its unique wildlife, but we understand that preferences can vary.

Your comments about the excursions are valuable, as we continually work to improve the experiences we offer. Regarding the food, we appreciate your feedback and will share it with our culinary team to ensure it meets the high standards of the cruise. We truly hope you'll give the Galapagos another chance in the future, as there’s always more to explore and enjoy on this incredible archipelago!

Warm regards,
The Galapagos Travel Center Team

Excellent experience

Everything was smooth and well organized. The guides (Charlie and Juanito) knew everything, even when asked about very detailed specifics! Also, the ship Infinity ran a smooth operation under supervision of chief of staff Edison. We had a minor health issue and everybody made the extra mile to help us resolve our situation. The food was great, the cabins were clean, the ship was nice, and of course, the islands are a true wonder that needs to be seen once in a lifetime.
