What is included in the tour packages?

Our tour packages typically include accommodation, transportation, guided tours, and specified meals. Specific inclusions vary by package and are detailed in each tour description.

Do I need a visa to visit Ecuador?

Visa requirements vary by nationality. Most visitors can enter Ecuador without a visa for up to 90 days. We recommend checking with your local embassy for the most current requirements.

What is the best time to visit the Galapagos Islands?

The Galapagos Islands can be visited year-round. Each season offers unique wildlife viewing opportunities. June to November is cooler with more active marine life, while December to May is warmer with calmer seas.

How far in advance should I book my tour?

We recommend booking at least 2-3 months in advance, especially for Galapagos tours which have limited availability. Peak season (June-August and December-January) may require even earlier booking.

What our travelers say

We learned a lot

Maren S.

Jonathan was the perfect guide for our walking tour of Old Town Quito. He was knowledgeable about the history and cultural stories, and guided us through the historic churches, La Ronda cobblestone streets, as well as the governmental buildings. We learned a lot!

Highly recommended

Randy M.

We recently spent three days on various tours with Jonathan and can't say enough about how fantastic a tour guide he was. He listened to our preferences and adjusted our tours to more align with what we wished to see and do. He was very professional, flexible, informative, and enjoyable to be around….and a great driver too !! We would highly recommend booking with Jonatan and his company. You will not be disappointed !!
