        Amazing Tour, Highly Recommend
        The tour was amazing. I highly recommend! Our tour guide Simo’n was amazing! He was such an interesting guy to talk to. He gave us so much information about the culture and nature in Ecuador. Wilson, our second guide up the mountain was very nice and so knowledgeable. We had a great time! The waterfall, mountain views, and nature were absolutely stunning! For the folks looking to take this tour, make sure you’re able to hike and you wear hiking shoes. I highly recommend this tour for anyone visiting Guayaquil!!

        Great way to see what Isabella has to offer.
        Our guide was knowledgeable, entertaining, passionate, and professional. We had a group from many countries and he explained everything in English and Spanish. We were able to see penguins, Boobies , sharks, and flamingos. We had a blast on the boat ride over but do not recommend if you get sea sick.

        A must-do tour if you go to Galapagos!
        The guide Martin was wonderful. It was more than expected to easily see blue-footed boobies (chicks and eggs, too), magnificent frigate bird (with red balloon) , marine iguanas, land iguanas, sea lions, lava lizards, Galapagos snakes, and more. Lunch was delicious, prepared by the cook on the yacht. After lunch, we went snorkeling. A big green turtle appeared right in front of me and I was happy to swim with it for a while.

        Best time ever - wonderful birthday!!
        Our guide Roberto and Henry the drive made my trip to Ecuador very special. It was my birthday and I couldn’t of had a better birthday. It was just wonderful so the guy is so knowledgeable and so easy to talk to and I got a chance to see hummingbirds and the spa was excellent. I will definitely book with him on a trip next time I go to Ecuador, which I love this country is so beautiful and there’s so much to see. I highly recommend it.

        Good to do as a first tour. We had seen a lot of the wildlife already so it was a little tedious.
        Very hot, and a lot of talking by the guide initially. Once we got to the snorkeling portion the tour improved. We did this tour last amongst 5 tours, and it would have been better suited for doing first.

        EXCELLENT sites, poor Guide
        Best tour on Santa Cruz Island. Tour visits 5 off-shore sites that are all great. Lots of snorkeling, swimming, hiking, boating. Includes snorkeling/swimming in the infamous Las Grietas. Would be 5 stars but our Guide, David Ascencio, yelled at us for using our saliva in our masks….? He embarrassed us by yelling in Spanish “go spit in your own private mask and not ours….? Ummm, that’s diving and snorkeling 101 dude. Without David Ascencio berating and over-controlling us, would have been great.

        Nice Introduction to Santa Cruz Island
        Good introduction to Santa Cruz, if you arrive early and want to take advantage of a later afternoon tour. Saw some beautiful wildlife, including a Blue Footed Boobie, iguanas and sea turtle.

        Amazing wildlife and great overview
        We really enjoyed this tour. We had the chance to snorkel and saw a shark laying in the sand and a sea turtle swimming and coming up for air, not to mention all the beautiful fish. This was also our first sighting of the blue-footed boobies and frigatebirds. The bay tour is a standard trip here, and having English translations was super helpful.

        Never book with these people
        Never book with these people. After taking our money and booking us for a very expensive excursion, they told us they didn't have room on that day and that we would have to come two days later. Then my travel companion got covid when they did have room for us, but they refused to give us a refund, not caring at all that we could come on the excursion and infect everyone else on the trip.

      The drive to the city was full of wonderful sights of the Andes mountains rising through the clouds. The view of the city from Turi was amazing. The city is full of life and culture. The architecture is a sight to behold. Like the streets of an ancient city. The food is so genuine and to see the process of making authentic Ortega Panama hats is very interesting and full of history. A must see experience for all travelers to Cuenca.

      I've done this tour 18 months ago and had a good time- did it again when on my second visit because I don't speak Spanish and wanted an ENGLISH Tour to learn about the city and ask questions. My guide was very nice, super attentive and a good man...and didn't speak hardly ANY English. Ouch. I think he was embarrassed by not being able to understand even simple questions, but not as much as I was at having paid a LOT for a 1 Person Tour to have him point and things and say... "the market" "the bridge" ... I know some Spanish, and by the end of the tour the guide even gave up totally speaking in English and just spoke in Slow simple Spanish. In addition, he seemed to have NO idea what to do when it started raining and showed no local knowledge of the what was open and not, and wasn't interested in even looking it up...I actually knew more about the hours of local things of interest than he did, but couldn't get it across to him....so we basically just walked around without me understanding or learning much. I've had a lot of great Trip Advisor tours, but for the large amount of money I spent and little value gained, this was the low point of my trip.

      *Likely to sell out: Based on Viator’s booking data and information from the provider from the past 30 days, it seems likely this experience will sell out through Viator, a Tripadvisor company.
