Ecuador & Galapagos Tours

Ecuador, located on the northwest coast of South America, offers a remarkable blend of landscapes, cultures, and experiences. Bordered by Colombia to the north, Peru to the east and south, and the Pacific Ocean to the west, Ecuador is a country of striking diversity. From the bustling capital city of Quito, nestled high in the Andes mountains, to the lush Amazon rainforest, Ecuador is rich in natural beauty and cultural heritage. Quito itself is a UNESCO World Heritage site, known for its well-preserved colonial architecture and vibrant local markets. Travellers can explore the Avenue of the Volcanoes, hike through the cloud forests of Mindo, or relax on the beautiful beaches of the Pacific coast.

The Galapagos Islands, a province of Ecuador located about 1,000 kilometers off its coast, are a unique archipelago renowned for their extraordinary biodiversity and unique ecosystems. These volcanic islands, also a UNESCO World Heritage site, are where Charles Darwin's observations during his visit in 1835 contributed to his theory of evolution by natural selection. Visitors can expect to encounter a variety of wildlife, many species of which are found nowhere else on Earth, such as giant tortoises, marine iguanas, and blue-footed boobies. The islands offer numerous activities like snorkeling, scuba diving, and guided nature walks, providing close encounters with these remarkable animals in their natural habitats.

Travelers to Ecuador and the Galapagos can look forward to a journey that combines adventure, relaxation, and cultural immersion. Ecuador's compact size makes it easy to experience a wide range of environments in a short time, from the high Andes to the Amazon basin. The Galapagos, with its pristine environment and unique wildlife, is a must-visit for nature enthusiasts. Whether exploring ancient ruins, sampling local cuisine, or embarking on a cruise through the Galapagos, visitors will find Ecuador and the Galapagos offer unforgettable experiences that highlight the extraordinary natural and cultural wealth of this corner of the world.

TOUR REVIEWS

Anthony has been amazing throughout my planning of my tour. He has been very quick in replying to my emails and always answering with everything I wanted to know. I look forward to hopefully planning my next trip through him next year!

I thought it was very good we didn't have to worry about anything everything was in order and kept with the schedule as planned, unless we wanted to deviated from it to do somethingelse. The trip really a trip of a life time.
There was a time many years ago that I wanted to travel to Egypt and didn't because of the cost. This trip was, to me, very affordable. I think everyone should experience this trip. The tour guide was alos excellent, Sherif Mohammad.

Ant provided excellent service. He always responded as quickly as he could, attending to the questions I had for him. He was also very patient and pleasant. I depended on his knowledge and service to make the trip.
I liked the service and the tour guide & driver on the tour. They were professional and provided very good service. I thought 1-2 hotels on the trip were not quite 4-star. It also happened that this group of people was always late for schedule and our walk pace was too slow. It really needs the guide to make people on schedule and be punctual for the activity. Overall I think the time management of this tour needs improvement.

I liked the fact we were met at the airport and helped thru customs and getting a visa and then upon leaving taken to where we needed to go. Its always tough to figure out where everything is in a foreign airport when you do not travel much
We had a wonderful time and great memories. We felt safe the whole time and would recommend this trip to anyone of any age as long as you can walk a lot. They are with you from arrival to departure and any problems that arose the guides would try their best to solve. They also showed remarkable patience for other people in other groups we saw that were acting like idiots.

I was pleased and impressed with the experience in booking and obtain all necessary documents in a timely manner. I am looking forward to my tour and hope the ground experience it just as good. This trip is my dream/bucket list trip.
