Rodrigo

I have now returned to UK.

I want to thank you for the excellent service you gave me for my Galapagos Ecuador expedition.

Galapagos far exceeded my expectations and was a Lifetime experience for me. 

I managed to get some wonderful wildlife photos and we had magnificent Guides and very few people. 

So despite (or maybe because of ) the Garua the choice of season was right for me.

Tip Top II was a superb choice and the Jungle at NWC was interesting with a good guide all to myself.

You were absolutely marvellous and the organization was perfect. 

I will of course recommend you to my family and colleagues.

I intend to improve my Spanish and return to Ecuador. Lovely country and fascinating people & culture.

Muchas Gracias y tienen un gran día

Hello Galo,

I wanted to take a few minutes to tell you that we had an amazing time on the New Flamingo. Thank you very, very much for your help in setting this up.

We loved the small group and the charming wooden boat. I learned that it is the last one of its type amongst all the cruise ships and it is a pity to hear from the staff that it will be replaced soon for a new metal boat. Rooms + bathrooms were cleaned every day, sometimes the water pressure went down a little but they always got it fixed immediately. “Chino’s” food was superb – I was more than surprised by the amount of fresh vegetable and fruit we were fed! Everyone of the crew was very attentive and went over and beyond to make us feel at home – which we did after only a couple of hours.

Again, thank you and everyone else for the great trip! I will always remember these days with a happy smile in my face.

All the best,

Tine

Dear Mr. Estrada

Everything, I mean EVERYTHING, went extremely well mainly thanks to your organization and kind availability.

The accommodation in Guayaquil was nice and convenient, the Tip Top III was very comfortable and his crew kind and efficient, the visits to the islands and their landscape/animals will be unforgettable to us.
Please extend our thanks also to the owner/manager of your company.

We are planning to arrange a "Galapagos evening" at home sometime later this year inviting a number of friends.
You may imagine what we shall say/advise about your company and your services.

Take care

Hello Rodrigo, hello Galo

We are back home in Switzerland already since one week. We enjoyed very much

the cruise with Anahi around the islands of Galapagos with so many birds, sealions, turtles , iguanas and so on. We like to thank you very much for the organisation and the care your representatives took at Guyaquil and Quito. Every thing went well. Also the accomodation and the dining at the hotels were very good.

Best regards from Switzerland

Peter + Astrid Hellmüller. Aug, 2011

Dear Galo,

We had a wonderful time on the Anahi. Everything was perfect, we were very pleased with the service and the landscapes and animals were amazing. We only wished we could have stayed another day or two!.

Thanks for all your help arranging it.

Happy New Year.

Kind regards,
Rose.

Dear Galo

we would like to take the opportunity to thank you for offering such an outstanding service. We just came back from our trip and it has been absolutely fantastic. The Mary Anne and our Guide Fausto were great and we are both very happy and thankful that we had the possibility to Upgrade on this vessel.

All the organisational work you did worked out fine. We will recommend you and your agency to our friends that consider to go to the Galapagos Islands in the future.

Best Regards  Torsten & Andrea, December 2010

Dear Galo,   we enjoyed the Galapagos cruise very much. The islands are simply amazing and we took many excellent photos. Thank you once again for assisting us with the travel arrangements.   Regards, Arlene Pang. Singapore     Dec 9 - 12, 2010 on board Yolita II 4d/3n departure

Hi Galo,

We loved Galapagos and we are recommending it to everybody. The flora and fauna was the same or even better than expected, but the ship and the organization where way beyond our expectancy and we told this to the captain, crew and naturalist guide.

The Yolita II is only 4 years old and just repainted. The cabin much more spacious than we expected, the organization was impeccable, the guide and crew superb, in both knowledge and kindness. To move the group with two or three boats gave us more confidence and a feeling of safety. It is true that a smaller boat moves more than the bigger ones, but it was really a very good choice to go on a small yacht. We had luck that the group on board was awesome, the fact to share the meals , right in both quality and quantity, rotating the tables helped alot for a better integration of the group.

We also liked the hotel in Puerto Ayora.

I finish this brief feedback thanking you for your participation in this trip, ensuring that if we meet anyone who is planning this trip, we weill recommend them your services and wishing you the best for an excellent 2011,

Nidia Cromberg, Argentina

Cruise on board Yolita II 5d/4n Oct 24 - 28, 2010

Hello Galo,

We've used your services for the Galapagos cruise on the Galaxy Yacht on the dates 4-11 Dec.
I just wanted to let you know that the cruise was perfect, and everything went exactly as expected (hostel pickup, boat's crew pickup, etc).

Thanks again,
Uri Garti.

Dear Galo,
               Just to keep you up to date on the trip we had below. We had a wonderful time, the boat , the crew, & the guide were all great. We met a german chap on the trip at the airport (Klaus Burkart) who was great as he could speak English , Dutch & Spanish, so he could translate for us. We met a great crowd of people on the ship which I suppose also can make or break a holiday. I would hence certainly recommend yourself & Tip Top to anyone.

Many Thanks

The Galapagos was FANTASTIC, thank you Galo! - Katherine Howard, Australia 

Rodrigo: The trip was really enjoyable and we all had great time. Hotels were good and we liked the one at the Volcano outside Quito. The guide that went to pick us up at the airport did the right things.

For your good work I already recommended 2 clients for you from Brazil. I gave your number and e-mail. thanks for the well planned trip.

Dear Galo,

Elizabeth and I had a wonderful trip on the Nemo II and enjoyed every minute of it. The guide and crew were extremely friendly and helpful and did everything possible to make our stay so pleasant. The cabin we had was extremely comfortable and everything spick and span. The food was way beyond our expectations and very healthy and imaginatively cooked. I enjoyed all the guided walks on the islands and my time relaxing on the catamaran.

The Hotel Patio Andaluz was also excellent and the staff at the desk very helpful with our many enquiries and the location was great for our short stay.

So many thanks Galo for all the arrangements you put in place for our trip and we will certainly recommend it to our friends.

Judy B.C. CANADA NOVEMBER 2009

 Good morning Galo,

In regards our journey, it was fantastic, we have seen such diversity of things that it makes one think it was a much longer trip than it actually was, especially the Galapagos portion. It is important to mention the high professionalism of all the guides who accompanied our group. Javier, well informed, very good manners and very polite with all. Leo, the driver always with such a nice humor.

In Cajas, Juan Carlos gave us a great practical class about nature. In Guayaquil, with Jorge.. it was a pleasure to listen to all his explanation about city topics, local customs, food, anything we required further information.

Our Galapagos portion on board Nemo II catamaran has been an unforgettable experience, the attention from all the crew members was impeccable, we felt at home. Our guide Mr. Juan Carlos Naranjo was so explicative, he knew every detail about each species of birds,  or plants we saw. To all of them we would like to thank sincerely.

And to you, as responsible for organizing such a wonderful trip, our congratulations, we would love to come back to Galapagos!.

Regards,

Julián Solano. Noviembre 2009

 Hi Galo:

We are back from the Galapagos Explorer II very happy and satisfied, everything was just perfect. We would like to go back to see the other islands we did not get the chance to see this time, you let me know when you have another of your special offers, ha ha! thanks for everything!

Cristina Dalmau, September 2009 Quito, Ecuador

 Dear Mr Estrada,

We are back from our tour on the New flamingo and I would like to thank you. everything went all right, we were gladly surprised with the good service, the efficiency of the staf and the knowledge of the guide who answered to all of our questions about the fauna and flora of the islands. The cook was great and the food was excellent. My congratulations to the guide. We spend unforgettable days in the Galapagos! Thank you

Rita de Molina, Ecuador Septiembre 2009

 Hi Galo,
we are back in Germany and I would like to thank you again for organising

Martin Jung, Germany, August 2009

 Hi Galo:

We had a wonderful time in the Galapagos!

We just came back from NWC and also had a terrific time there!  Everything was well organized and we saw many animals, birds, flowers, and an Anangu village and one family's home.  We highly recommend them.  Also thanks to you and the staff at GTL for arranging everything including the transportation to the airports.  We will now spend our last few days in Quito, Banos, and with Carolina's family in Gualaceo.  Ecuador is a beautiful country with wonderful people.

 Hola Rodrigo.

I had a great time in the Galapagos last week; I wish I could have stayed longer.  Gracias,
James Kelley, USA August 2009

Greetings Galo,

Thank you very much for the excellent services that GTL provided for our class trip to Ecuador from May 19-30. You provided all, and much more than you promised! The students were quite happy with all of the accomodations, guide services and overall quality of the entire experience. We are particularly pleased with the way that you were able to rearrange the schedule so that our hike to Cotopaxi base camp was moved to our last day before we left. This increased our ability to acclimitze and ensured maximal success on the volcanoe. We are sure that it took a lot of phone calls and general scrambling on the part of your staff, while we were happily enjoying ourselves in the jungle. We cannot say enough about the superior guide services that were provided by Diego Cuesta. He is first rate and always puts the needs of the client first.

We definitely will use your services again in Ecuador and would be very pleased to provide client recommendations for your company.

Kenneth T,  MA, USA June 2009

 Greetings Rodrigo:

We have returned safely to Quito and Luis was an excellent escort to and from the airport.We had an excellent time in the Galapagos and the Legend ran an efficient and enjoyable program.We are very satisfied clients and you may quote our recommendation regarding your services. Many thanks

Dear Galo,

As we had promised we send you here a picture taken during our stay in Galapagos.

Thanks for all,

Hi Galo,

Happy New Year.

Rosemarie and I returned to Canada yesterday following our trip to Ecuador and I would like to thank you for all your hard work in making our trip the great success it was – we had a wonderful time in Ecuador. Everything went perfectly thanks to your great organisation and planning. I would especially like to thank Diego as our guide for our 3 day trips; he was an excellent guide and greatly added to the success and enjoyment of our time in Ecuador.

We had a quite simply amazing time at Napo, possibly the most successful trip Rosemarie and I have taken in a very long list of trips around the world over the years.

Thank you again for all your efforts.

Regards,

Malcolm, Canada, January 2009

 Hi Rodrigo,

WE have returned from our trip to Sth America, including the Galapagos Islands and enjoyed our trip very much.

May I say that our transfer was great - and the gentleman who picked us up was extremely helfpul and welcoming

Thanks again for all of your help in organising our trip, it was very worthwhile and we loved the Galapagos Islands.

Ellissa Fell, Melbourne, Australia , January 2009

 Dear Mr Mino

We returned to our countries happily after our trip to Ecuador and the
Galapagos. All my friends congratulated me for how well organized our trip
was and for the magnificent quality of services received. The service on
board the Beluga was outstanding, professional attentive and efficient crew,
our guide Monica was excellent. We were very well looked after in Quito by
our guide Diego and the drives at your disposition. Our trip to the Cotopaxi
was a success as well in despite of the cloudy morning we managed to climb
up to the 5000 meters where the cliffs begin. On the way down from the
volcano the sky opened up and we could have a beautiful view of the
mountain. It was spectacular!

We took about 3000 pictures among the whole group of friends. We are making
a selection of them. As soon as we have them I will send you a DVD copy. My
wife and I are just fascinated by the beauty of your country. We thank you
for your services. Keep in touch.

Until next time,

Paul Davidoff, Mexico, January 2009

 Dear Rodrigo, I had a very enjoyable time on the Eden during my 5 day cruise in the Galapagos. The boat and my room were very nice (it was the best shower I had in Ecuador!). The guide and crew were very friendly and helpful and the food onboard was also pretty good. I think the highlight was definitely snorkelling with the young sea-lions - once in a lifetime experience!

Thank you very much for all your help in organising the trip and flights for me. Kind regards,

Martin C. Scotland, June 2008

 Greetings Rodrigo! We had a fantastic time in Galapagos! The cruisehsip, guides, the food and excursions, the itinerary, everyting was fine, well organized and very interesting. Many thanks for all your help. It was a special trip for us. Until our next trip to Galapagos! (We hope)

Thank you so much. I think I will be trying to arrange another trip this next year. I will be in touch! T. Williams, Holland April 2008

 Hi Galo, I just want you to know what a fabulous time that Mabel and I had on our vacation. Our transfers with Diego to and from the Hotel in Quito were very prompt and he was very helpful with any questions or needs that we had. The staff of the Galapagos Voyager was great as well and Williams was an excellent guide. They were all very helpful and attuned to our needs. Everthing ran like clock work for the entire trip. I just wanted to let you know and I plan on recommending your company to my friends and family for their journey to the Galapagos. Thank you again!! Sincerely, Meredith Moore USA -April 2008 

 Hi Rodrigo: We were very satisfied with the tour. The organization was excellent and all the tours very interesting. The guide we had in Ecuador were very skilled and provided excellent service.  The Galapagos trip also was very good. The ship was good and the guides also here were good.

We for sure will recommend your company as well as visiting Ecuador and Galapagos.Regards

Leif Ekdahl , Danmark, April 2008

Dear Mr Estrada: Our trip was wonderful and we had a great group: 6 English, 4 Americans and us (French). We almost cried when we had to say good bye to each other at the end of cruise! Ship was good, very comfortable and plenty of water in the showers. The Galapagos Islands have not changed (it is our second visit!) and they still are the last paradise on earth to approach birds so close. Puerto Ayora has inded changed, but it is more colourful and fun now with nice gardens. Cook on the ship was very nice, he cooked such great meals that we did not expect which we enjoyed a lot as we like wine such dinner times were "special happy times". At the end we were even lucky as the airline upgraded us to Firstclass. What else could we ask for? It was an unforgettable trip! Thanks!

Marie et Dennnis Grenouillet, France, March 2008

 Hi. I just wanted to say thank you for organizing such a great Galapagos trip for my family and I. We had a lovely time.

We all liked him a lot.

 "Our trip to the Galapagos and Quito was Excellent.  Your arrangements for 
us, were perfect.  Our trip the Galapagos was one of the best tours I have 
ever taken.    Our ship the M/C Anahi lived up 
to its luxury classification and the crew, especially the Cruise Director, 
(Gabrielle) and Naturalist (Enrigue/Kike).  But the whole crew made us feel

Dale and Jane Cornelius, USA January 2008

 Hi Rodrigo: Just wanted to send a quick note to thank you for all your help in arranging our visit to Ecuador .   Linda and I had a wonderful holiday. Although very different cities, we liked Quito and Cuenca very much. We wished we had more time in each place. The Galapagos are amazing and we loved the experience on the S/S Mary Anne.  What a great time!

Ecuador is a terrific country and we would both like to come back. (Too bad we have to work!)  I have already recommended your travel company to two people.

On behalf of Linda and me - many thanks again for all your help.

Best,Suzy Suzy Zimmerman , USA December 2007

 Dear Rodrigo:

From a service/logistic view we have to give credit to you and your staff.  We can only comment favourably on the quality of customer service.  From the drivers (always on time, helpful to assist, friendly) to the guides (very knowledgeable, flexible, friendly and always ready to assist when required).  Please also convey our appreciation to them again for their part to make the trip worthwhile. Accommodation has been good throughout the trip.

There are so many interesting places on the "wish list" for future exploration but we have made up our mind to revisit some areas covered during this trip. When?  Not sure yet but we most probably would need your assistance again in a few years time.

For now - thank you again for the very smooth running of the whole trip leaving us to enjoy and not worrying about the nitty-gritty of "will the driver be on time, what will the guide be like, etc"

From all of us have a wonderful festive season and may the spirit of Christmas be with you, your family and organization. Kind regards, Gerrie

Christine and Roger Holmes,UK, September 2007

 Dear Rodrigo Thank you very much for organising our trip to Ecuador. That was really perfect. There was no delays or misunderstandings at any time. The program was interesting and variable. From the best impression we had: - Golondrina 1 team in Galapagos - very well organised and friendly; super tasty food and neat and funny service; very helpful national parck guide Alberto - the mountain guide Marco - super hyper experienced, well organized and (most important) responsible guy. Really impressive! Amazing 4x4 driving in the steep mountanious off-road - hotel Fuenta del Piedra (misspelled?) - as cheap and comortable as we wanted; good balanced choice from your side.). Thanks again. Kind regards

Best wishes

 Dear Rodrigo : We came back home two days ago, a little tired but full of beautiful memories.Ecuador is really nice country with gently people, amazing nature, history and culture.All the trips were arranged perfectly the guides were helpful and had good communication skills.Especially we appreciated Marco-the climbing guide and Gustavo from Sacha Lodge.We gained a lot of interesting informations of your natural enviroment, habits of indigenious people, volcanos, Galapagos Islands. It is worth to emphasize that a lot of Ecuadorians are involved in protection of your natural  inheritage.So I would say Thank you once more to all people we had met, and I wish you a lot of open minded turists from all over the world.

Rodrigo we will be in touch because we are going to visit the other countries in South America next year or maybe this winter.Good luck and I wish you all the best

Dear Rodrigo,    We are now home after our trip to Ecuador and the Galapagos.  We had a great trip, and I just want to thank you for the excellent customer service.  Everything went very smoothly, just as planned.     Also, although the Golondrina is rather small  the facilities were fine.  And, the staff on board were great.  we really enjoyed them!  If you are able to, can you pass along the compliment to the owner and the staff of the Golondrina?     Thanks again!  Hasta la vista!

 Hi Rodrigo, the Galapagos Islands were a brilliant trip. Loved every minute of it and it was the best trip l've ever done. The wildlife, marine life, and scenery were spectacular. The Nemo yacht and their staff were first class. Thanks for all your assistance in booking this trip.

Hello Rodrigo

Galapagos was spectacular! Once in a lifetime experience Snorkelling  was great too. Saw sharks, turtles, sea liaons and thousands of fish. Loved the snorkelling ! Guides were great and ship was first class, service great.MachuPicchu was terrific. Breathtaking when you first explore. Much larger than I thought. Good weather. Great pictures. Unforgettable. Cusco was a bit of a struggle with the altitude but very interesting.Guide and tour in Lima first class.  Guide was really smart woman.

Thank you for the terrific arrangements. Guides and drivers all very professional, on time and great service ! First class people!

Craig Elliot, USA, April 2007

Rodrigo,thanks for all your help in the tour, I have passed your name along to fellow travellers..!The Nemo was great and the naturalist Juan Carlos Narajo was fantaastic, I would highly recommend him to others. Thanks again for your help.

Annette Svederus, CANADA April 2007

Hi Rodrigo. We just got back home from Galapagos and I ve got to tell you how happy we returned! Everything worked out perfectly! Your choice of the Guantanamera was just right since the naturalist guide was also a divemaster so that besides watching the animals on the islands we also had the chance to see the beautiful submarine fauna. Thanks, Until next time! regards

Yolanda Hernandez, Madrid, SPAIN, April 2007

Excellent! Thanks for a great booking job! -

Thanks again, best wishes

 Hi Rodrigo : I have now returned from the Galapagos Islands after delaying my return flight for a few days to do more diving!  I loved it. Thank you very much for all of your assistance in making the booking and for collecting me from the airport.  Just to let you know I was upgraded onto the Fragata (first class boat) for the full 8 days as the Golondrina was being serviced. It was amazing and made the trip all the better!! Many thanks again.

Anna Coe, UNITED KINGDOM , February 2007 

 Dear Rodrigo, We would like to thank you for a great Galapagos vacation. Me and my wife especially appreciate the fact that you have reserved the best cabin on board for us. It was a truly wonderful experience.Thanks again, Max Pometun.RUSSIA January 2007

Renee Kirkham, SOUTH AFRICA , January 2007

 Rodrigo, We had a fantastic time out in Ecuador. Both La Selva and Aida Maria were highly enjoyable with fantastic people and, guides and all the other staff. Everything went smoothly without any issues. Thank you again for helping us organise this trip and we will recommend your company to our friends. Kind regards,

Bharat Mistry, UK December 2006

 Rodrigo, Your company's services were excellent and I will definately recommend GTL to my friends who wish to visiti Ecuador and the Galapagos some day. To be honest, I was nervous about dealing with a company I knew only through the internet. I now you are somewhat new, but  it all worked out and I was very pleased.The yacht and the crew of Eden were excellent. Raul was a Class III Naturalist who really knew his stuff. The yacht was well-maintained and the food was wonderful.  I very much appreciated the transfer to the airport that morning, - You took care of everything!

Thank you again,

Nanette Pratini,New York,USA November 2006

 Dear Rodrigo , thank you very much for your answer. We would like very much your cruise with Poseidon. We have received a lot of proposals (even cheaper) and, sincerely, it's not easy to choose. But we appreciate very much your speed and precision in your answers. So we would be very pleased to travel with your cruise, we will send to your agency also other friends in the future I'm working with an italian travel web and in the report that I will write your name will be presented.

Mara Zonta, ITALY October 2006

 Hi Rodrigo, The cruise was wonderful- I was really lucky with the weather and I really enjoyed my week. The food was great and the animals were fabulous!! the trip went smoothly and thanks for booking everything for me.Hope you are well. Sincerely, 

Leigh Gower,London,UK September 2006

 Hello Rodrigo: We really enjoyed it and the guide was quiet pleasant and knowledgeable in regards to our many questions.  We would definitely use your services again if and when we return either working or vacationing.  We really liked the Indian Market but the best place was the leather town that we went to last but I forgot the name. (Cotacachi) Two of us want to go back and start out in that town!!!  We are still salivating over the pink leather knee-length high heel boots for only $60!  By the time we saw them we were out of time and money!  I will definitely call you again for the hot springs/ spa.  Thanks for replying so quickly and also for patiently  schedule the tour at the last minute.  I will definitely plan in advance as much as possible the next time. Thanks again

Melinda Powell- USA  August 2006

 Prezado Rodrigo : A presente é para lhe AGRADECER pelo excelente serviço prestado. Achamos o barco ótimo, a tripulação absolutamente atenciosa, educada, prestativa. Os serviços prestados, desde a limpeza do barco, até os serviços de alimentação e informações prestadas pelo guia e por qualquer membro da tripulação, não poderiam ser melhores. Também foi excelente a assessoria  para nos buscar no hotel em Quito, e em nosso mergulho. Muito obrigado, sinceramente. Parabéns.
