Rated 4 out of 5 stars

I would have given the tour a 5 out of 5 but the airline issues cost me one whole day of the Ecuador experience. It could have ruined the trip. Once we actually got to Quito and the Galapagos, the trip was great. The Galapagos islands were an amazing experience. The culture and beauty of Quito and the surrounding area was unforgettable. I will never fly American Airlines again!

We really enjoyed Quito and Ottovallo. The accommodations at the islands were very base level. We did not mind that but when we look at going on our own, we could have saved $1000 to $1500 with better accommodations. The boat cruises were about the same price with better accommodations and food.

Amazing trip with amazing tour guides

Rated 3 out of 5 stars

loved the islands. our guides were great. however, would like more time for education, like museums and the like, and less time for shopping. snorkeling was lots of fun, but we don't need to go 4 times. again, nature hike or something educational would be time better spent.

Good trip but lousy food. For the price of the trip, this seems like a weakness of the program
