The trip was wonderful

Linda_T, Feb 2023

The tour company used by Viator, Takiri, was excellent. They managed all the excursions well and always on time. We felt the hotel accommodation were comfort and the people working for there were helpful. However, We were disappointed in the accommodation arrangement. Before booking with we asked the customer service representative at Viator the question on “hotel arrangements” and were told we would have our own room. I also called on January 25, 2023 and was told by a customer service representative working for Viator that we would each have a single room. I received a letter from a Takiri representative on Jan. 31 explaining the accommodation arrangements, which was 1 room and 3 beds. I questioned the accommodation and was told Takiri changed the single supplement policy for accommodation the beginning of 2023. Obviously we were misinformed and Viator was not made aware of this change. It would not have been a concern if we were given the correct information in advance instead of finding out just before we left for the trip. Other than the accommodation the trip was great and I would recommend it.

Response from Host, Feb 2023

Hi Linda, Thank you for writing this detailed review. We are very glad to know you enjoyed your time in the Galapagos and that you would recommend our services! Also, thank you for your kind words about our team, we will pass your words on to Diana, Cesar, and Alex. Regarding your comments about the accommodation, yes it is very unfortunate that you didn't get the complete information from Viator but yes we completely understand the frustration this might have caused you. We have passed on your comments to the Viator team so that they try to stay up-to-date and avoid this from happening again. Unfortunately, Viator is very a large company so their team is not always well informed and that is why we always recommend our travelers to contact us directly. Once again, thank you for your review and for your feedback, this helps us grow each day! Kind regards Michael

OK, but not very good

Claudia_S, Jul 2022

Please let me explain the title. First of all, all the best things that need to be mentioned: The organization was very good, everything always worked out wonderfully. But what I didn't realize - and here we start with the (for me) not so good things. It was not a group tour, you do this 6-day tour alone. On the booked excursions, you are always with others. But these people change all the time. To cut a long story short: all transport, accommodation and tours are booked for you, but you do the 6-day tour (still) alone. As I was travelling alone, this was a big downside for me. I wanted to spend these 6 days in a group. In my opinion, this should be described in more detail, because I would not have booked the tour if I had known. I also find the statement that it is a 6-day tour a bit exaggerated. The first day (of the 6 days) includes pick-up from the airport, lunch and then the ferry crossing to Isabela Island. It can be counted as a tour day, but strictly speaking, it is just an 'arrival'. This is followed by 4 days of touring. The last day of the 6-day tour is (only) the return transfer to the airport. I definitely don't see that as a tour day!!! Conclusion: if you don't want to spend the days on the Galápagos with individual planning and have no problems doing this tour alone or with your Partner/Friend - then it fits. Just keep in mind that it's not really a 6-day tour, and you don't see too much of Galápagos. 3 days on Isabela Island and one day in Santa Cruz. I had expected much more from this tour. And please delete the word 'budget' from the headline. If I had booked everything myself, it would have been a lot cheaper. The only advantage for the money I paid was the convenience of having everything booked and organized. Nevertheless, you are passed from person to person.

Response from Host, Aug 2022

Hello Claudia, Yes, we totally agree with you that the traveling style is a very important part of the tour because travelers create a lot of expectations around it. This is something that is mentioned in all of our programs in Viator, which is where you booked your program from, but also on our website. However, we do see that it needs to be even more explicit at the time of making your booking. Our Galapagos budget programs do not have a fixed group traveling style with a specific departure but rather a flexible group style. This means that our travelers can start these programs on any date and the even bigger advantage for single travelers is that we do not charge a single supplement fee. Regarding the price, we cannot stress this more but keep in mind for your future travels when booking through Viator you always pay an additional 30% of the regular price than what local operators charge. Thanks for your comments and we wish you some great travels ahead! Michael
