Epic Tour Of Ecuador
This vacation was absolutely EPIC!! Everything went as planned. Great guides, and beautiful scenery. Everything about it was great.
This is a go-go-tour. We added a few days in between for rest and relaxation. I would probably add one more day.
Wonderful wonderful time!!
★★★★★
Galapagos Adventure
We went with Rebecca Adventure Travel to the Galapagos and experienced some of the best snorkeling of our lives! Of the tour operators we talked to, Rebecca Adventure Travel was by far the most responsive and provided a lot of small but important touches to our day tour.

Land-based tour of the…
We got a lot of help to customize it to our interests. Overall the experience was very good. They arranged day tours at each destination and all transfers. We had great tour guides, they were timely, the boats were great, and they fed us well. The snorkeling guides were very professional.
