Best Trip Ever

My husband and I just returned from a trip to Ecuador, Galapagos Island and Peru. I would recommend this trip to anyone interested in South America. The wildlife on the Galapagos is fantastic! Machu Picchu is spectacular. We enjoyed seeing the countryside as well as the city. The bus tour includes markets and the important sites to see. Snorkling on the Galapagos was quite an experience. The water was chilly, but with a wet suit it was fine for the end of May. We did not have one day of bad weather. I would recommend the end of May for this trip.

Great trip

I thougth the tour was good and the tour guide was great. I loved the country and the scenery. Galapogos was incredible. I want to return with my grandchildren.

Ecuador and the Galapagos

Was a very good tour . We enjoyed our Tour Director - Juan Carlos Rivera P. He had a very good knowledge and respect for his country. Quito was an amazing city. The city tour and the tours into the countryside were very interesting. Such a beautiful country!!! The Galapagos cruise was excellent - only wish it could have been longer.

worth the challenge!!

we have accomplished 3 walking tours with GoAhead but this tour was our most challenging due to the number of flights and the altitude in Quito and Cusco. although the snorkeling was disappointing in the Galapagos the rest of the cruise was beyond inspiring but it still didn't prepare us for the beauty of Peru -- we had no idea!!

great trip

This was a great tour but had many challenges because of the changes in altitude and the changes in temperature within the two weeks. The countries of Ecuador and Peru were absolutely amazing. We had excellent tour guides to show us these countries. The only complaint I had about the tour was our flights to get there and home- very long considering we had to fly straight down to South America.

A Dream Come True!

As a biology teacher, I have dreamed for years about going to the Galapagos Islands! I finally made it!! The trip was amazing! It was such an awesome experience to walk among the animals that had no fear of humans. I also loved the snorkelling, what a thrill! We were even entertained at night by the sea lions chasing the flying fish, what a sight!

Galapagos Islands and Ecuador

This felt like two different vacations - first was Ecuador and the country side of the mainland with its traditions and beautiful scenery and then the Galapagos Islands - with the incredible wildlife and plants and being on a ship. Awesome adventure that I'll never forget.

Beautiful Places and People

I was surprised by the beauty of the Andes Mountains, the people and the music.

Galapagos and Machu Picchu

I enjoyed seeing the Galapagos and Machu picchu . I wish we had done this tour 10 years ago. At our age now it was a challenge to keep up. I wish that we could have seen more islands of the Galapagos but do understand the reasons that we could not. Ecuador and Peru are both interesting countries that are coping with alot of challenges.

Wonders of Sea and Sky

A truly memorable trip! This tour (with extension) spanned evolutionary origins, spectacular natural settings, and pre-Columbian achievements. The Galapagos Islands segment was simply awe-inspiring, as was the majesty of the Ecuadorian and Peruvian Andes. We feared that Macchu Pichu would be a let-down because of all the hype, but it was anything but. We've pretty much been around the world, but this was one of the greatest trips. Well done!
