Reviews

Hearing from our guests after they return from Galapagos is probably our favourite part of the job. Here are the reviews from previous guests, which you may find helpful to read. 

A truly amazing and most memorable trip!

Thanks again for all your help putting this trip together. It was a great combination of structured and unstructured activities. Not only were we excited about all the different places we got to see but we were also impressed by the quality of the guides. Everybody was on time, super friendly and helpful, and very knowledgeable. It felt very luxurious to never have to worry about how to get from A to B, figuring out where/how to buy tickets, etc. All in all, it was a truly amazing and most memorable trip! Thank you!!!!

Highly recommended

I cannot rate highly enough the service and attention we were given by Think Galápagos and the team they work with. Our trip to the Napo wildlife centre in the Amazon was fantastic. The Galapagos was stunning and brilliant. The best moment of the trip was playing and swimming in the sea with 9 sea lions. It was a moment I will treasure forever. We are a well-travelled family and this holiday is up there as one of the best. The whole thing was seamless. We were so well taken care of by every guide and driver we came into contact with. Rachel and the team at Think Galápagos are great at what they do. Highly recommended.

Simply fantastic!

It was simply fantastic, every single day was brilliant! All was superbly planned and happened as planned, the information received for all the different journeys was always accurate and all people involved were helpful and nice. The stay on the Beagle – well, I can’t say any more than that it was outstanding! Our guide (Xavier) was great, able to infect everyone with his enthusiasm and knowledge, so was the crew and the others on the boat. Napo Wildlife Centre was of course also amazing, not just the lodge itself and the stunning wildlife, but the whole experience. It has been a magical experience all round.

Holiday of a lifetime!

…an absolutely wonderful, amazing, brilliant (etc.!) holiday we had, and to thank you for everything which came together to make the holiday so perfect. The arrangements were flawless in every respect, with guides to meet and look after us from the moment we stepped off the airport in Quito, until we said goodbye. What was so special was how personal the service was from all the guides and drivers and everyone we met. I have already been, and will continue to recommend Think Galapagos to anyone and everyone who might even consider a holiday in Ecuador and the Galapagos. Definitely a holiday of a lifetime!

The local staff were just great adverts for you and Ecuador of course

The holiday was fantastic, the itinerary and recommendations were great and we had a wonderful time. The guides we had in Quito and the cloud forest (Freddy) the drivers (Jonathan especially) and the meet and greet staff were all really helpful, knowledgeable and made the trip so much more enjoyable. In Galapagos the boat (Angel) and crew were excellent. Marie especially deserves some positive feedback as she really made the trip. Her enthusiasm and personable nature made her knowledge so much more accessible.  The Amazon leg was well put together and was well worth adding to the trip.  I can’t say enough about the vacation, your advice and recommendations were spot-on for us, and all the local staff were just great adverts for you and Ecuador of course.

Galapagos was another world really – I’m in awe

Everything worked perfectly. All the hotels were brilliant - Americo and Edwin the driver in Peru were just superb. Galapagos was another world really - I’m in awe. I’m struggling to explain how life enhancing it was for us all  and just how brilliant the whole trip was - and thank you so much.

I’m pretty sure I’ve inspired some friends to take the same trip…

We loved the trip!  We’ve been raving it about it, and I’m pretty sure I’ve inspired some friends to take the same trip.  We loved Ecuador, people, culture, history, and the natural beauty.  Of course the islands are very special and we feel very thankful that we got to visit. All the guides were incredibly knowledgeable, and everyone we met was friendly and helpful.

We are so glad we found your company to arrange our cruise

This was the highlight of our South American trip. With your advice and information it was easy to travel to Santa Cruz. We really enjoyed our time before the cruise and visited all the sights you suggested. The cruise delivered on all our expectations! We have already recommended Think Galapagos to some friends planning a trip. We are so glad we found your company to arrange the cruise. Your professional approach made dealing with arranging the trip from so far away easy and we felt confident that we were making the right choice.

We will cherish the memories made on this trip forever

We had an amazing time!! All your recommendations were stellar and everything went seamlessly. Thank you again for all your help in coordinating this once in a lifetime experience for us! Our #1 highlight was snorkelling nearly everyday (and often more than once a day) in the Galapagos — swimming with penguins, sea lions, sea turtles, sharks and endless tropical fish. Our guides in the Galapagos and at the lodge in Mindo were wonderful and memorable. We will cherish the memories made on this trip forever.

The whole trip was organised meticulously

We had a fantastic time. The accommodation was excellent and the whole trip was organised meticulously. I should add that we were also very happy with the way that everything was organised through yourselves. Having the full itinerary and the pre-travel checklist were incredibly helpful and we felt confident that we were being looked after on every leg of the trip.

The itinerary was perfect and we wouldn’t have changed a thing

We wanted to let you know that we had a fantastic holiday in Ecuador and the Galapagos. Everything went seamlessly. We were always met on time and the team was friendly and extremely helpful. In fact everyone we met did everything they could to make our holiday amazing. All three regions that we visited were incredibly interesting and the guides made sure we saw as much as possible and were so enthusiastic. It was so worth it to have our own guides. So thank you very much Rachel for organising our holiday and having such an amazing team in Ecuador. The itinerary was perfect and we wouldn’t have changed a thing.

The trip was beyond what could be expected or described – an absolute delight

This trip was stand-out and noteworthy, even amongst all the other interesting international trips we have done. The ship was lovely, comfortable, luxurious, the food was amazing, the crew was courteous, attentive, competent, with obvious logistical expertise, and Jorge was mind-blowingly knowledgeable. Add the real reason we were there--to see the islands and all they offer--was beyond what could be expected or described. It was an absolute delight. At every point of our little journey we felt confirmed that the package we had chosen was perfect for us, from the Ecuadorians who so graciously served us, to the size of the vessel, the route, and the logistical ease of equipment managed by others, travel while resting, etc. etc. etc.
