Ecuador, Galapagos Islands & Peru Mother/Daughter Trip Review: Quito, Machu Picchu, Cruise, Hiking, 2-Week Tour

After a three-year delay due to my daughter's shattered ankle, we were finally able to go on our long-awaited Galapagos cruise and trip to Peru. I had to make a decision in April 2020 to pay the balance in full so as not to lose my deposit. In doing so, I put my full trust in Alfonso and our travel company. An interesting footnote (pun intended) is that I managed to fracture my fibula on March 27 2022, with a May 3 2022 departure date. There was a lot of travel involved in getting to our destinations, but my daughter and I had a fantastic time in both.

The cruise was handled very well and we were able to participate fully in all activities. As we progressed to Peru, guides and drivers were very timely, and our accommodations were very nice. I enjoyed all of our tours, as did my daughter. Alfonso came to Quito to meet us, which I thought was a lovely gesture. With our guide's help, we were able to navigate all the way up to Machu Picchu’s peak. I was the slow mover with my ankle, but our guide made sure we got up and down.

These were two trips of a lifetime and without any hesitation, I would use this travel agency and Alfonso again. To have to part with so much money with the beginnings of a pandemic surrounding me, I put my faith and trust in him and was paid back tenfold with the experience and the service received.
