By Kacey R for 6 Day "Galapagos Wisdom" Tour - IDEAL - SMART23 on Sep 05, 2024

Our trip was fantastic! We were taken care of the whole way through via WhatsApp and Juan Pablo. He linked us with our people on the ground and was constantly checking in with us. Speaking of, our people on the ground were also super welcoming and helpful. We did the diving tour and our dives were epic - the best diving we have done! Our accommodation was lovely and overall an absolutely awesome week. We can't believe the value for money

Juan Pablo of Smart Galapagos organised a fantastic 8 day Galapagos experience for my group of 4 friends. It could not have been better organised. The hotels were all comfortable with lovely, helpful staff and great views. The restaurants were always the best in town. We saw all the major sights on the three main islands and it all ran like clockwork. He got us great prices and made sure we had a lot of extras. He kept in touch with us constantly, making sure everything was perfect. Thank you, Juan Pablo ! What a great experience ! All ' of us would highly recommend Smart Galapagos.
