Galapagos Travel Center レビュー 186

We were very pleased with the attention paid by the company to any questions and needs we might have had. Katie Beckwith was our agent and always responded to our inquiries in a very timely manner and provided the answers we needed. The guides we had on every leg of our tour were very knowledgeable and provided a great experience. All in all, it was one of our best trips ever.

We had multiple logistics to work out.
Diana Endara put the entire package together for a party of 8. coordinating everything from multiple arrivals and pick ups, our cruise on the Galapagos Legend, to our extended stay in Puerto Ayora .
Thank You.

I highly recommend Katie Beckwith from Galapagos Travel Center. She encouraged me to visit El Calafate, Argentina and Machu Picchu, Peru when I thought it was already too late to book, and thanks to her, it all worked out seamlessly. She also put together a comprehensive itinerary that included private tours, an English-speaking guide, and a dedicated driver throughout the trip.

Thank you for making my South American expedition such a memorable experience.

Very good communication! Very good Naturalists who answered questions. They wanted us to learn about the animals.
Lunches and snacks were very good. The crew was hard working and made sure everything ran smoothly.

We worked with Galapagos Travel Center to organize a Galapagos cruise with extensions to the Amazon and Cusco (Machu Picchu). It was our first experience with a full-service travel agent, and it was a very good one. Lorena put together a trip that exactly fit our interests and needs.
All the connections and transfers worked seamlessly. The hotels booked were excellent and the drivers and vehicles superior. We highly recommend the Galapagos travel center.

Our recent journey to the Galápagos Islands and Machu Picchu was truly exceptional—one of the best trips we’ve experienced in 45 years of traveling.

From the very beginning, Katie, our trip coordinator, planned a seamless and perfectly balanced itinerary. She was consistently accessible, responsive, and thoughtful in every detail, which made the entire experience feel effortless.

In the Galápagos, every aspect exceeded expectations. The naturalists and guides were outstanding, and all drivers and transfers were punctual and smooth. Our 4-day cruise aboard the Calipso was a highlight in itself. With a crew of 10, the service felt first-class at every turn. Philippe, our naturalist, went above and beyond—his expertise and enthusiasm created unforgettable snorkeling experiences that were, without question, the highlight of the trip.

In Peru, Miluska guided us through the Sacred Valley with remarkable knowledge and insight, bringing the history and culture to life in a meaningful way. Patricia, our guide in Machu Picchu took extra time with us answering all of our many questions.

Now that we’re home, sorting through photos and reflecting on the experience, we can confidently say this was one of the most memorable and well-executed trips we’ve ever taken. Every detail was handled beautifully, allowing us to fully enjoy each moment.

We are deeply grateful and would not hesitate to recommend Galapagos Travel Center to anyone looking for an extraordinary travel experience.

Attentive, thorough, helpful and wick to respond. I have confidence my needs are taken care of in a timely manner

A seamless well organised experience throughout.

Excellent staff, good boat (Alya) and overall a great experience.

The staff were attentive, helpful, informative. The small environment (15 passengers + 14 crew) was ideal for the vessel (the rooms were larger than many cruise liners we have been on) .
At the margin we should have done more research on the itinerary as we would have liked to see turtles in the wild (schedules took priority) but got to see them in captivity.

Lorena promptly and patiently answered every question we had! The cruise was a wonderful experience, and we had all the info we needed in advance. They even notified us when an airport closure would impact our our flight (before the airline notified us). I'd highly recommend booking through this company!

Cruise was excellent - friendly staff and knowledgeable guide. Great food and comfortable cabin with ac and good shower. A good variety of activities. Having to pay for snorkel equipment hire and bus ride from airport seemed unnecessary given how much this cruise costs!
Travel agency were helpful and sorted everything out but there was a little delay at times. Overall though would recommend.

What more could you ask of a travel advisor? Gabriela gave us good suggestions and advice. She was prompt and friendly in all our communications, never showed frustration with our dithering or weird requests, bless her.
The printed itinerary was great, travel hints were really good, all our connections worked and there was always a friendly person there to collect us as promised.
The tours Gabriela suggested in the Amazon (Sani Lodge) and Galapagos (Treasure of Galapagos) way exceeded our expectations.
And when illness intervened at one stage, Gabriela was there to support and give advice.
I do not hesitate in suggesting Gabriela and GTC as Ecuadorian tour advisors.

All went smoothly for my adult children. They loved their time in the Galápagos Islands .

Our agent Diana Endara was awesome! She was very responsive with all of my questions and concerns. The trip she planned to the Galapagos for my family was seamless - every step of the way we were met with competent drivers and guides. Diana also helped us to choose the cruise and hotels that were just right for us.

Giselle was always eager to help and fast to respond.

Our trip to the Galápagos Islands was truly magical! Every day was an adventure. We loved the speedboats, yachts and sailboat trips to the different islands, and every guide was knowledgeable, enthusiastic and fun. Every day tour was on time and some days the tour guides added on extra stops, helping us create even more special memories. Thank you for setting up this once-in-a-lifetime trip.

It was just great, food, guide, adventures All terrific!!

A stress-free booking making the trip a stress-free adventure. This was the first time I took a cruise. I figured the best way to see the beautiful Galapagos Islands was to cruise around them but
without the cruise crowds. Fortunately, Galapagos caters to small groups due to their strict conservation, protection of the wildlife, and their environment. Right up my alley. Thank you Fatima for advising me on how best to make my vacation to these amazing islands as memorable it can be. I started off with a packed and informative tour of Ecuador's capital, Quito by my personal tour guide, Rocco. I gazed at the beautiful churches, municipal buildings, and experienced the charm of old town. The tour of the Middle of the World was experience in itself. Rocco was very patient and insisted on getting me a raincoat during a warm downpour. I had a great lunch experiencing samples of Ecuadorian food. I got to the airport without issue to continue on to the Galapagos Islands. The staff/guides of the Solaris did an excellent job. The staff and chefs were focused on details of the day-to-day happenings on the yacht while Fabricio, our guide, was very knowledgeable with a friendly personality and charming wit. I was amazed that he knew as much as he did for only being a guide for a short period of time. His teammates where so helpful, getting us to the next event on this educational but fun filled adventure. The surprise at the end just added to a trip that will be long remembered in a very positive way. One tiny thing, could you soften the butter? Soft butter is easier to spread on those delicious breads and breakfast meals.

Gabriela was wonderful to work with. She was quick to respond to any question I had. It was white glove service, we were met at the airport and delivered to our hotel, and it just continued thru the entire trip. Very happy with the service.

Great experience overall. Initially, Fatima was a bit difficult to understand with English as a second language, but we got thru it just fine. Texting and email were the preferred contact route anyway.
The trip was precisely planned and execution was terrific. All promised details were fulfilled and the Angel yacht was fantastic! We would 100% use this agency again for travel to Galapagos.
