Voyagers Travel Ecuador

A truly knowledgeable and sensitive agent, they helped us organize a complex trip combining Ecuador, the Galapagos Islands and Peru. They made sure we could visit all the highlights and added in some really nice surprises. They helped organize a surprise birthday party for our daughter while we were on the boat in Galapagos, they called to check on us regularly and just had really good planning. I would recommend them highly for Ecuador and Peru vacations.

We contacted Voyagers Travel as we wanted local experience with planning an Ecuador and Peru trip. Francisco responded with great info, kept in touch by email frequently including reminders in advance of the deposit and final payment dates. He provided pros and cons of different Galapagos cruises, a number of potential itineraries and available dates. We chose an 8-day/7-night Seaman Journey catamaran yacht for stability, the itinerary and a more intimate atmosphere (was an amazing cruise). Francisco also suggested some Amazon lodges in Ecuador that all had wonderful reviews, however they transit through Quito which is at a high elevation. After hearing that my husband has asthma and didn't want to risk altitude sickness, he suggested Amazonia Expeditions Lodge and Research Center in Peru so flew to Lima on the coast, then inland to Iquitos on the river, followed by a speed boat ride to the lodge (had 10 wonderful days there). We didn't want to pay with our credit card due to a poor currency exchange rate so he explained the funds wiring process - confusing as it was new to us. We're Canadian and our bank couldn't do a "bank transfer" in US funds so we had our bank wire the US funds to Voyagers' bank, we emailed the wire transaction number to Voyagers, and the transaction took at least 5 working days to complete (apparently normal for a wire transfer). Francisco notified us as soon as they received the funds, followed by cruise vouchers and flight tickets (our Guayaquil to Galapagos Islands flight was included in our package, but not all packages do). We were very pleased with Francisco's professional yet friendly approach, terrific advice and guidance throughout the planning stage. We would definitely recommend Voyagers Travel agency to others.

Great company
