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. 

All parts of the holiday were superb

Just to say a final BIG thank you for all the hard work you and your teams put into making our holiday just that – a holiday, with no worries about what would happen when, where do we go next! All parts of the holiday were superb, Cristian and the team in Peru, and the team in Ecuador with Sani Lodge and Seaman Journey both providing first class service. We loved it all and would not hesitate to recommend you  – in fact I already have!! Yes, it is not a cheap holiday, but we considered it excellent value for money – and three weeks gives a suitable buffer zone between two long journeys. We made a video of our time in Galapagos which you can watch here.

What an amazing adventure! We loved every minute

What an amazing adventure! We loved every minute and can see why it’s difficult in advance to describe quite what a special and unique place it is. Thank you Rachel for all your carefully considered arrangements which all worked perfectly. Without exception all the people who looked after us were charming, helpful and very competent. We cannot begin to describe all that we saw and the experiences we had – wow! Thank you again.

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!

It was fabulous! Everything ran so smoothly – it was textbook. People turned up when they should as per the schedule – so the plan was the plan and it was executed by the team to perfection.

This was definitely one of our all time favourite trips

The trip ..was FANTASTIC! The itinerary and pace of the trip was ideal for our circumstances and we had an absolutely fantastic time. Despite travelling to 50+ countries before, this was definitely one of our all time favourite trips. Thank you so much for helping us put together this phenomenal trip – from the first time we spoke I was impressed with your expertise in this region. I wanted to go to the Galapagos and do it really well and you truly helped us to achieve that. All your documentation and guidance were informative and reassuring. This is a trip we will never forget – thank you for making it happen

Everything we wished for and more

We had a brilliant holiday thank you. Everything we wished for and more. A real variety of experiences and the sense that we had enough space and time to get a feel for the country and it’s people. You and your team did a great job; not least when our plans were scuppered by the road blockade. We were very impressed at your response even when your plan A didn’t get a v enthusiastic reception. Plan B or C was great and in fact the day in the volcanoes watching Condors was a highlight. I’ve recommended you to several people. With our thanks to you and the Think Galapagos team.

Seeing the wildlife up close was truly phenomenal

We had an absolutely amazing time. Seeing the wildlife up close was truly phenomenal, and we loved the Galaxy Orion and its wonderful crew. Our guide, Yazmany, was incredible, our small group was delightful, and the crew was exceptionally attentive, with so many thoughtful touches throughout the experience. Your communication was impeccable, and all the information provided was clear and comprehensive. Your professionalism and attention to detail truly put our minds at ease and made the entire trip unforgettable.

The Galapagos are a magical destination

The whole thing was fantastic  - we had a wonderful time! The Galapagos are a magical destination and the Galaxy was a great boat. Everything went smoothly: we communicated a few times with your office and always received a prompt and helpful reply.  We appreciate how attentive you were to all our questions.

We really valued the personal touch and your expert knowledge

A huge thank you for arranging the most amazing trip. All the logistics went like clockwork. All your pre- trip information was very comprehensive and helpful. All the guides and drivers were delightful, incredibly knowledgeable, patient with answering our endless questions and so very passionate about their country and all its wonders.The crew on the Seaman Journey were all so hard working, always smiling and very efficient. I will certainly be recommending Think Galapagos to anyone who has the slightest inkling of doing something similar. We really valued the personal touch and your expert knowledge.
