    My wife and I just finished the 10 Day Galapagos Island Hopping Full Explorer tour, and we couldn’t have chosen a better way to spend our honeymoon. From the moment we contacted the agency, Tatiana was absolutely outstanding. She guided us through every detail with patience, clarity, and a level of knowledge that instantly made us feel confident about choosing this trip. Her support set the tone for what became one of the most unforgettable experiences of our lives.Throughout the journey, we were accompanied by an incredible team of local experts who made each island feel unique and meaningful. Cristian welcomed us in San Cristóbal with enthusiasm and deep knowledge of the island’s wildlife and history. William led us through Santa Cruz with professionalism and a great sense of humor, making every activity enjoyable and informative. In Isabela, Ruth was exceptional warm, patient, and incredibly knowledgeable, helping us appreciate the landscapes and wildlife from a completely new perspective.A very special mention goes to Fredy, our guide and driver during different parts of the trip. He was always punctual, friendly, and attentive, and he made every transfer and excursion feel safe and comfortable. His professionalism and kindness added so much to our overall experience.The itinerary itself was perfectly designed, giving us the chance to explore the best of each island from snorkeling with playful sea lions and turtles to walking through volcanic landscapes, swimming in crystal-clear waters, and observing the unique wildlife that makes the Galápagos so extraordinary. Every day offered something different, and the logistics were seamless from start to finish.For a honeymoon, this trip was everything we hoped for: adventure, nature, incredible memories, and a team of people who truly love what they do. We are deeply grateful for the attention, care, and professionalism shown to us throughout the entire journey.If you're considering exploring the Galápagos in a meaningful, organized, and unforgettable way especially for a special occasion this tour is absolutely perfect. Highly recommended.
