We had the most wonderful experience on our cruise at the Galapagos. I was not familiar with Touring Galapagos at the beginning, but Maite took the time to answer all of my questions and suggesting the best itinerary.

I can’t say enough good things about Touring Galapagos. Each segment of the journey went off without a hitch and guided us in a most expert way. We had fabulous hotels and amazing meals.
