Testimonials

Our Galapagos Island Hopping Tour exceeded my expectations. I loved it!!!! Haley and I had the most amazing trip anyone could ask for. I was so favorably impressed with every aspect and couldn't have asked for more. The tour guides were wonderful, especially Andrea and Valerio in Puerto Ayora. I would endorse Andean Trails without question and for travelers to stay in close contact with their travel adviser. Tom Shearman was so helpful and gave me many useful bits of advice. I was able to witness how the residents are recycling and doing everything within their means to maintain a healthy environment for future generations. Thank you for making this the most memorable vacation we'll most likely ever have. I treasure these photos.

For a high point we both agree it would be reaching the top of the pass on day two. Day 3 rained so that was somewhat of a low point, but part of the experience. Accommodation: Excellent, great breakfast. Accommodation on the trail was most satisfactory, kept us dry, warm, and comfortable. Food: Food consistently exceeded expectations. Multi-course meals, an inventive and gifted chef. Fresh veggies, healthy fare. Let me tell you what he made on our third (final) night: a cake! Tom, this man (Eber) made a cake, with frosting and strawberries, in the middle of a rainforest on the side of a mountain! Guide: Anna Maria displayed a thorough knowledge of all local natural and man made features, was friendly, and I cannot thank her enough. Overall Organization: Everything had clearly been done before, and they had it down to a science. Everything ran on schedule and by the numbers. Experienced professionals. Every (soles) you spend from a vendor or at a trailside stand helps someone make a living there. I cant think of anything we would do differently.
