The most memorable part was discovering the beautiful Galapagos islands with their varied plants, birds and animals, differing from one island to another. (more)
The highlight for me was definitely the snorkeling, especially when there were sea lions about. I never thought I would be so enthusiastic about swimming with sharks! (more)
The Galapagos Islands were great and I definitely recommend going there. However, I would not recommend this operator. (more)
Amazing vacation. Very varied and interesting with a good mix of people of all ages and nationalities. We saw all of the top sights in the area and good trips were organised e.g. horse riding.

The most memorable part of our vacation was camping in Mt Fitz Roy National Park; it was so beautiful and the walking was excellent. We had some really good mountain guides; lots of fun. (more)...we were blown away by the Iguazu Falls which were just amazing! Also spending my birthday on a schooner, with bubbly and cake provided by the operator, was a lovely surprise, and I felt very spoilt!

Most memorable were the children I met at my project, the Iguazu falls and the volunteers I met through the project. (more)
Flying over San Cristobal Island in the Galapagos then landing on the tiny airstrip right by the sea and seeing unique plants and animals for the first time that I had only seen in books or in documentaries was the most exciting part. (more)
The whole trip was amazing, doing the four day tour around the other islands is definitely up there though. (more)
The whole vacation was amazing, but if I had to name the top three things I would say (in no particular order!) going to Iguazu Falls (especially the boat ride under the falls!), the boat trip we went on in Paraty and just being in Rio. (more)
Overall the vacation was magnificent. We hiked the Inca Trail (with a private group) and it was certainly the highlight of our 16 days in Peru.

Most memorable was our Shaman host at the jungle homestay. He glided around, playfully and skilfully making leaf hats etc and happily sharing with us his knowledge and Chechan philosophy. A wise man and free spirit in a beautiful place. (more)
It was a great adventure trek over the mountains (5000 m at one point!) - absolutely fantastic. (more)
Machu Picchu and the Inca trail simply amazing... The site itself was breathtaking and our guide’s local knowledge and her native ancestry gave us extra insight into the people who lived there. (more)
The combination of the magnificant scenery plus the amazing Inca ruins made it especially memorable. (more)We invite every traveler who books a vacation via us to send in a review.
