1. What was the most memorable or exciting part of your holiday?
Walk around Seymour Island and getting close up to the blue footed booby and frigate bird nests.2. What tips would you give other travellers booking this holiday?
Look out for ESTA requirement in passing through USA airport. I missed a flight because I did not know about this. I think this was a major fault in the organisation. However, they did rebook me quickly at my expense. The information on the tour operator sight is good but spent more on food than advised - it was good and healthy.3. Did you feel that your holiday benefited local people, reduced environmental impacts or supported conservation?
Yes. We ate at local restaurants and the food was well prepared and local. The accomodation was small and independent on the whole so supported local people. Boat trips by locals too. The organisation of the Galapagos considered environmental impact and balanced this with the need for income from tourists - the $100 and $20 dollar fees paid contributed to conservation.4. Finally, how would you rate your holiday overall?
Excellent...new experiences every day for both the Inca history and the Galapagos. Just the right pace to enable full enjoyement and to make the early starts comfortable. As an older female traveller, I felt well supported and safe. The Guides were superb with a good knowledge which they imparted freely and all our detailed questions were answered.Holiday Reviews
You can trust Responsible Travel reviews because, unlike many other schemes, reviews can ONLY be written by people who we have verified have been on the holidays. In addition, we don't run these holidays ourselves - our only interest is giving you the best independent advice.
