"We had a wonderful time on the Galapagos Islands Adventure and recommend this trip to anyone who can walk. All of the arrangements for our activities, meals, hotels, boat rides, etc., were seamless, and our trip manager was especially helpful and fun and went out of his way to make sure we had a great time with no waiting or complications of any kind. That made it easy to relax and enjoy our trip and focus on the activities of our trip rather than logistics. The islands are so unique. Great trip!"
