We have just returned from a 30 day trip through South America for which Metropolitan Touring were the ground agents for our stay in Ecuador - 3 days in Quito; 5 days on La Pinta in the Galapagos and a transfer over one night in Guayaquil. They were excellent from start to finish. The extent of Metropolitan Touring was immediately... More

Uutstanding service provided by Metropolitan staff during our Machu Picchu trip. That was above all expectations; smooth, easy, professional and caring attitude. Great job!

Our guide and driver were Rodney & Jorge ... excellent service & local information. We would highly recommend... More

Although Metropolitan had received copies of our passports they still managed to get one of our names wrong and were incapable of correcting the situation for the duration of the trip which meant much of our travel documentation did not match our passports – a problem at airports etc. On the return from Galapagos our flight was cancelled at the...

The Santa Cruz is definitely to be recommended. Food is plentiful, delicious with a great choice, and the educational lectures and tours are superb. We saw everything we wanted to see on our trips. Each day there is an opportunity to go snorkelling or swimming as well as a hike or trip in the zodiac boats. The crew are all... More

My family just returned from a four night cruise on the M/V Santa Cruz, owned by Metropolitan Touring. In addition to my husband and me, my mother, 12 year old son, and 8 year old daughter went on the trip. The experience exceeded our expectations. First of all, we are not cruise goers in general, but had conceded this was... More

Metropolitan Touring were the local agents for the Ecuadorian leg (Quito & The Galapagos) of our recent South American adventure. They provided very good guides and drivers, but the highlight was our four day cruise on the Isabella Dos. Our two naturalist guides there were brilliant, the food was amazing on board and the ship's staff were excellent. Our days... More

We have spent 5 days on M/V Santa Cruise and a few days in Quito and Guayaquil . The cruise in Galapagos was fantastic and exceeded expectations in terms of the animals we saw and snorkelled with, the food on board and the service of the staff. The food and service beat Cunard. This is a must do holiday for... More

Quito, Otavalo, Amazonia, and Galapagos, complete with all internal air tickets, airport transfers, fantastic guides and tours, and advice on some really wonderful places to stay.
