Galapagos Land-Based Tours: Suggested Itineraries
Planning to follow in the footsteps of Charles Darwin and spot the extraordinary wildlife on the Galapagos Islands?

Recent trip reviews for Edwin
Fun for all family vacation , Ecuador - Apr 11 - Apr 21, 2019
Our planing with Edwin the trip adviser was very good. communication was flowing and his follow up on our demands were excellent.
Our guide Daniel Maldonado was amazing. from the moment he picked us up at the airport through the walks in the jungles and at the restaurants and hotels on the way. He was very resourceful. spoke fluently English and was a charm.
Also our driver Ceasar was very helpful. with our long distance drives and sometimes into the night because of change in plans. Was there on time, helping with the luggage and watching over us at all times.
