Our wonderful guide and driver made this trip excellent. They were supportive, flexible and efficient! I was constantly amazed with all the knowledge our guide shared with us. This trip was perfectly planned. Our time at each location was just right. Our accommodations were very nice. Everyone was kind, helpful with smiles! I loved the variety of activities we did, including me getting to Tiger’s Nest Monastery. I don’t know if I could have made it without the supportive team. During our whole stay the guide made sure we were good with what we were doing. Learning about the Bhutanese culture and Buddhism was so interesting. The Black Rand festival was another highlight. Bhutan is an absolutely beautiful country! I highly recommend this trip. We went in November and had great weather. March would be a month to go with the flowers blooming! There are many festivals to attend.

Amazing experience with Yugen Earthside and Eco-Africa for my Kilimanjaro climb and safari! An unforgettable experience in Tanzania with extremely attentive and kind staff. The practices were ethical and environmentally conscious. I would highly recommend!

We enjoyed this trip. Service was excellent, accommodation ranged from good to very good, maps and instructions were easy to follow. We especially appreciated the warning when we deviated from the trail, very helpful to avoid navigation errors.

Travelled with 15 other friends and acquaintances; one of the others had planned the entire trip together Yugen Earthside and other local partners. It was a phenomenal experience!! Everything, from the communication beforehand, airport pickups, transfers, flights, Galapagos cruise (the crew! the Bonita Yacht! David the guide!) and back was fantastic! Highly recommended!!

This was a life-changing adventure for me and my son. The days exploring Quito and the surrounding Andean volcanoes and cloud forest revealed surprises at every stop. The planned and unplanned activities gave us a glimpse at the richness of this region. Our guides were amazing, each knowledgeable and interesting and fun to be with. I learned so much from them. Once we arrived in the Galapagos and into the care of David and the crew of the Bonita, the magic of the islands enveloped us in its primeval web. Each day was a new adventure in geology, biology and climate. We saw animals and plants we did not know existed. We learned so much about the local ecology and uplifting news regarding the restoration of ecosystems. Our home on the sea was comfortable and relaxing. The crew was attentive and quickly learned the specific needs of each passenger for each activity. I cannot say enough about how hard they worked to provide us with such an amazing experience. Our naturalist guide, David, could not have been better. He is so knowledgeable about the regional ecology, but also about so many other social and human aspects of the region. And while his attention focused on ensuring that we had the best experience, he was also a valiant guardian of the plants and animals that we were visiting, reminding us to tread lightly and respectfully to ensure everyone's safety. If I could give 10 out of 5 stars, I would.
