Wlady and his team are incredible. The guides are very knowledgeable and helpful and friendly. The food and accomodation provided in the various places I stayed for the trip were excellent. All the gear I needed was provided for me, and very high quality; and all my travel and logistics problems were solved for me, getting me and my things where I needed to go. Summitting Cotopaxi was an absolute once in a lifetime experience, and I cannot thank Ecuador Eco Adventure enough!

It was my son's 3rd successful climb of Chimborazo, Cotapxi, and now Cayambe! The climbs were well organized, the food was good and the guides very safety conscious and knowledgeable. Thanks for the memorable experiences my son enjoyed!

The printed itinerary we received was lacking details of each day's outing. My wife asked for a more detailed itinerary and never got one. We went anyways and the plan presented to us from Galapagos Dreams was not what we had paid for. The trip to Bartholome Island was not included and was supposed to be great snorkeling. Never happened. T he other days planned did not really tell us what to expect and lacked details like "Hiking"...that had no time, distance or elevation covered...nothing. So we showed up with the wrong shoes but went anyways as, really what is our option? The Galapagos Dreams people did not speak English well and we constantly had to work hard to achieve understanding of what was up next. We are in a foreign country and they would just say a driver will be at your hotel tomorrow to pick you up...not ID not company logos, nothing to allow me to think that they are who they say they are. This happened several times. We were taken on boat taxis and ferries that were honestly very poorly maintained and operated. And the unknown fees....wow. $200 each to get to Galapagos. Used to be $100. They changed it to $200 August 1. No one ever told about the change. And they only took cash. Really? Just Cough up $400 cash to some gut at a desk at the GPS Airport.??? I asked for a receipt, and they acted like I was insane. They eventually gave me an internet link to go view my transaction. And there any other last minute fees and taxes that occurred...which if we knew about t hem ahead of time, would have been more acceptable. If I ever go to the Galapagos Island again it would only be for the great people that live here. Certainly, only if I arrange each day's trip myself. Never use a travel agency again. I will let everyone I know to avoid you folks. For the amount of money spent, we did not come close to getting the accommodations and communications we expected. I am pretty sure you will not post this, and that's fine. I will still get the word out. Added 19Aug2024 I wore the best shoes I had for my hike to the volcanoes. I had no problem with the hike or my shoes. Never wore flip flops the whole trip. I have photos of my wife on that hike, no flip flops. I wore my best sneakers and they were fine. I am 66 and I went on the extra leg of the hike with all of the younger folks in our group. I will post those photos on another website. Actually had a good time on that hike and the guide was excellent. As to my English, well I do ok. I also used Google translate as much as possible given the remote locations ad weak cell phone signals. Every day I barely had enough battery to get back to the hotel due to the use of "translate". I am not doing anything but being honest. We asked questions every day. There was no discount at all given. We arrived on time every day to the location as needed. My wife asked for a detailed itinerary and was never given one other than the original. It was a single sheet, with very little detail of each days events.

We are sorry to read this review Brandon never asked anything to our company, his friend a d wife booked the trip for them We clearly detailed and told brandons friend that THEY WERE TOO LATE FOR BARTHOLOME as they were booki g last minute gave them a discount for the trip so they could do another island On the brochure clearly says how much the entrance to the park costs Brandon never spoke to us and when he did, he only had one question. After that the staff in Galapagos were literally taking them to the activities Sierra negra is a hike, this is also stated in the itinerary, probably Brandon doesn't know how to read English and then shows up in flip flops to a hike
