REVIEWS
Just thought I'd follow up and thank you
for everything you did
for us, arranging our Galapagos cruise - we enjoyed it and appreciate
your help. I've already recommended your company to several people :-)
If you're curious, I posted our pictures
here:
You also asked to give you our thoughts
on the boat: the boat
was insanely luxurious, much more so than either of us could imagine -
that was certainly a nice surprise. The guide was also very personable,
and overall we couldn't really complain. The food was good too. The
only negative things we could say have to do with the amount of
regulations on the islands (not being able to hike on our own), and the
slow pace on some of the days (dedicating several hours to do a super
short hike) - but both of those are very understandable, since the boat
& guide had to cater to everyone there at the same time, including
some older people that were much slower than everyone else. The other
thing we had trouble was that the ocean was very rough, and we couldn't
sleep much for the first two nights... as you know, the week after we
left another tourist boat actually capsized and a tourist died! But
this isn't something that anybody could predict or do anything about,
really. THat said, again, the boat & crew was great :)
Thanks again, and hope things are well in Quito!
