galapagos testimonials

"All of your pre-departure materials were excellent, my son and I were well prepared for our trip. We loved absolutely everything. Especially swimming with sea turtle and sea lions. The ship's crew even had a birthday party for Doug. Your choice of accommodations in Quito, the Café Cultura and your vessel the Flamingo were excellent. Ecuador is wonderful, especially the markets in Quito. I will never forget the Galapagos."

"Willie Perez was an EXCELLENT bird guide. He made our highland birding great! I would advise future travelers to definitely go on a small boat 15-20 passengers. Adventure Smith's information and contacts were very helpful. I'm glad we went with AdventureSmith."

"I think we were very well prepared. The personal phone calls before we left were a great touch wherein we could get any last minute questions answered. Also, it was so comforting to know we would be (and were) met by in Quito by a friendly face, and this was true everywhere we went. It was a wonderful trip. Thanks for all your expertise in planning it!"
