Of course, the icing on the cake of this trip is the Galapagos and the unique experience this offers, but the 'cake' that is Ecuador that it sits on is delicious in itself - sights, sounds, flavours, experiences. To do the two together makes this an unforgettable experience – we feel like we have been away for weeks and weeks.

Don't be put off by the price – it does look a lot at first glance, but then look at everything you do, the huge distances travelled and experiences included and think about trying to do it yourself! It is absolutely value for money. Excellent value for money.
