Cruise testimonials

My wife and I thought you and your firm did a marvelous job. As I indicated on the comment card, we had previously travelled with A&K; and thought you did much better. I hope you got the comment card. The driver who took us to the airport Sunday a.m. did not speak much English, but his eyes lit up when I gave it to him.

We were very pleased with all the people you had for transfers and as guides. They each had a wonderful attitude. I do not know how you find and keep such people, but urge you to continue doing what you are doing.

Concerning the transfer, Luisa called us shortly after we returned from dinner. We worked everything out. No problem.

The Eclipse was excellent. It was exactly as you led us to expect. We had a lot of fun. Only disaster was that my daughter succeeded in deleting all the pictures from her memory card on her camera. She was heartbroken, but this morning she was invited to the winter dance at school, so she is happy again! In any event, we still have the pictures from two other cameras.

As for real comments about the Eclipse, I have two. First there was one guide, Javier, who was exceptional. He is from the Galapagos. In talking to him, I understand he has a contract to do a week on the Nina, your new boat, in a few months. You may want to consider trying to keep him. The other guides were good, but he was in a class by himself.

One minor negative on the Eclipse, and the only one, was that somewhere in the past the personnel on the Eclipse must have stored the snorkeling flippers badly. They are in terrible shape and really need to be replaced. I noted that on the comment card on the boat too. We still enjoyed snorkeling. We made all, but one of the snorkeling trips, but I would not be against your passing the comment on to the owners/operators.

Christian, if you, or your company, ever need a reference in the states, please do not hesitate to let us know. We were EXTREMELY pleased with your recommendations and services, and would not hesitate to recommend you.

Thanks again for your great planning and service while on our trip.

Hi Elena,

I just wanted to write and thank you for organising such a fantastic trip for us. We have just arrived home and all agree that it was one of the best holidays that we have had.

The Le Parc Hotel was wonderful, the rooms were fabulous, very modern and very clean. The rooftop bar was lovely with wonderful views over Quito and the meal that we had in the restaurant was the best meal that we had in Ecuador and was of a very high standard.

La Selva was a great experience and the guiding was very good. However the highlight of the trip was the Galapagos and our stay on The Eclipse. The boat, the staff and the guides were all wonderful and could not have done more to ensure that we had the holiday of a lifetime.

Thank you so much Elena, for all your help and guidance in booking this holiday we really had a wonderful time.

With kind regards
