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!

What an amazing adventure

What an amazing adventure! Thank you so much for organizing our fabulous trip to Ecuador and the Galapagos Islands. We cannot speak highly enough about the enthusiasm and knowledge of the local guides – Andreas, Carlos and Delfin, all held together by the leadership and experience of Santiago. The arrangements made by Think Galapagos were spot on – no hitches, no anxieties. When someone was scheduled to meet us, they were there, on time and fully briefed. This was truly the trip of a lifetime, and we have no hesitation in recommending this trip to others – indeed we already have! Carry on with the great work."

We can’t quite believe how much we saw and learnt

"Thank you all for organising such a super trip to the Cloud Forest and Galapagos. It more than met our expectations and Santiago took good care of us. We can’t quite believe how much we saw and learnt with the expert help of Daniel and Carlos, as well as Santiago. Tip Top III and her crew were excellent and we have been singing the praises of Think Galapagos to our friends and family!"

No previous experience in our lives comes remotely close enough to compare

"Its hard to know how our trip could have been any more enjoyable. No previous experience in our lives comes remotely close enough to compare - so for all the amazing attention to detail your put in, and the unexpected little extras (like, for example, the bus tour and walk around part of Guayaquil), we say the biggest and most sincere thank you. Our most sincere thanks to you both for all your considerable efforts in helping to make our holiday....yes, it's that unavoidable phrase again....the experience of a lifetime. Well, it truly was."

We still cannot believe the sights we saw – truly amazing

"We just wanted to say what a FANTASTIC trip we had to the Galápagos. Santiago and the crew of Tip Top III really looked after us and we still cannot believe the sights we saw - truly amazing. Thank you to all the team of Think Galápagos."

The most amazing holiday ever

"Thank you for organising the most amazing holiday ever. The birds we saw in the Cloud Forest were mesmerizing and we took far too many photos. Our guide Daniel together with Santiago were able to answer all our questions-they had so much local knowledge which they were happy to share. We left the mainland on a high but the best was yet to come. On arrival in Baltra in Galapagos we were met by our guide Carlos. He, together with the crew of the Tip Top 3 took us around the eastern islands over the next 8 days where the sights we saw were breath-taking. It was like being part of naturalist's paradise. Not only did you meet the needs of all the guests but you anticipated and exceeded them. We really appreciate the organisation and planning that resulted in such an amazing holiday."

Couldn’t do enough to make it the trip of a lifetime

"What can we say, it was amazing... The Samba and its crew really looked after us from dawn to dusk and couldn’t do enough to make it the trip of a lifetime which is what it was. Always cheerful and smiling they all made for a very happy ship and all the guests got on so well. Juan our guide was a great enthusiast and set the tone for the whole trip and bonded everyone together. His knowledge was incredible and there was always a story to be told. All went like clockwork so BIG thanks to you all."

We loved every minute

"We loved every minute. Our guide, Jhos, was fantastic. The crew of the Beagle were great. Everyone got on very well and we saw all the birds, animals, reptiles and marine life that Jhos hoped we would find."
