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, thanks again for everything

It was fabulous, got to see a lot on land and in the water and we had a great crew and bunch of people on the boat which made it a fun few days too! ….Thanks again for everything.

10 out of 10 for the overall experience

For Ecuador & Galapagos it must be 10 out of 10 for the overall experience, as we loved every bit of our trip. The time on the boat was perfect and we were so well looked after by the various teams on the boat and the mainland. Thanks for organising a beautiful experience for us.

It was flawlessly organised from start to finish

We had the most wonderful trip – we all declared it one of our top three (not sure what the other two are). It was flawlessly organised from start to finish and we really wouldn’t have changed anything/feel like we were short changed … because we booked so soon before we flew. If we had booked a year out, the exact same itinerary would have been what we wanted. The boat crew were wonderful. All your recommendations and hotels were excellent and we are so grateful for such a great trip. And all this done with an 11 hour time zone difference too. It was a pleasure from start to finish. A thousand thanks.

I was on the verge of happy tears nearly every day!

I loved every minute and was on the verge of happy tears nearly every day! Thanks for being so meticulous and helpful every step of the way - you really crafted a perfect journey!

We were both blown away by what we saw and the experience

We truly had a wonderful time on the trip. It more than met our expectations and at each step along the way we were looked after with genuine attention to our interests and aims. All of the accommodation and places we stayed were lovely and suited us completely. The Galapagos surpassed our expectations. We were both blown away by what we saw and the experience. The Amazon again was amazing. There are so many good memories from the trip and we are still working our way through photos and videos. We don't normally repeat travel to the same areas but having realised that other bucket list items such as Machu Picchu can be combined with the rest of the Galapagos this is back on the list. When we are ready, we will definitely be in touch as we couldn’t imagine a better way to organise a trip.

We had a wonderful trip!!!

We had a wonderful trip!!! Really glad we chose the Cachalote. Largely because of Juan, the naturalist, who was absolutely incredible.

You have an incredibly well oiled machine and it worked magnificently

Our Think Galapagos Trip is one of the best holidays we have ever had in over 30 years of travelling. Every detail thoughtfully considered, every Guide exceptional. An unforgettable experience enhanced by excellent service everywhere we went. You have an incredibly well oiled machine and it worked magnificently.
