Hi Maria,
Everything was perfect. They loved it all and are raving about everything
Boat, food, and staff experiences
All they could say was it was magical
As you know, the trip home was a nightmare. They did not get home till 4 am NYC time
But it did not change the amazing experiences and memories they gave of this family trip
You and your staff were outstanding
Thank you

Hello Vanessa & Sofia,
Patricio our driver, was pleasant and always smiling when we saw him no matter the time. A true asset for your company to work with someone like him.
My wife and I wanted to express how this trip so far exceeded our expectations ! Your companies attention to detail is below no other that we have worked with around the world. The staff on the Ocean Spray were top of the line as well.
Please let me know where I can post a review for other folks to learn about what a great company you all are.
Thank you,

Hi Sofia – Joy Wegner here — my husband Bud and I completed our Peru journey last Friday.
I just wanted to send you a personal note of thanks — everything about our Peru trip was outstanding service! People easily picked us up at airports and train stations, they were completely informed of travel plans and showed an obvious desire to ensure our safety and our health. The guides, in Lima, in Cusco, and in Machu Picchu were so knowledgeable and really on-target with their guidance for our trip. We will recommend Columbus Travel to friends.
Thank you for your part in making this trip so enjoyable for us! Best wishes . . .

Hi Sofia
Over and above the review I would like to make the following comments:
- We had a fantastic time.
- Your organization of the trip and attention to detail was exceptional.
- The staff of Columbus Travel that we encountered were all courteous and prepared to assist beyond the call of duty. I must single out Pablo with his wealth of knowledge and personable approach.
- Both excursions from Quito were top rate, especially the delicious lunch served at the Hacienda we visited on the Otavalo trip.
- Swissotel was excellent. The staff were also willing to assist at all times.
Thank you for organizing. I will certainly be recommending your services to my friends planning a trip to Ecuador and the Galapagos Islands.

Hello Pablo,
Hanzel, our tour guide in the Galapagos was amazing we were very lucky to have him for 10 days and felt like saying goodbye to the family at the end. The staff on the boat were the same.
The Amazon was a great adventure, and 3 nights was a perfect amount of time.
This was truly an experience of a lifetime to see nature at its best and in action. Our family truly enjoyed ourselves.

Good morning, Cristina!
We really have had the most wonderful trip in Ecuador! So glad we could make the last minute switch from Peru to the Rainforest. We were thinking that your initial suggestion for having us go to Cuenca was probably better still as we have heard great things about that place. That means we will need to come back to Ecuador again. We also wanted to go to the cloud forest.
We look forward to working with you again next time!!
Thanks again!

How much you enjoy your Galapagos adventure is going to be the quality of the boat and crew. In my case, working with Pablo Rea of Columbus Travel both were excellent. The guide was very knowledgeable, the crew were very helpful. They were always cleaning, and preparing for the next Zodiac excursion. All of the meals were very good and plentiful. The Galapagos is one of the top 10 destinations in the world, Do not miss it

It was a fantastic experience, even better than we expected! Sofia and the Columbus team were excellent; they were very responsive, quickly answered any questions we had, and were available to help us navigate the logistics of our trip. They even helped coordinate some travel logistics outside of those they booked for us and solved a few issues while on our trip. I would highly recommend Columbus and this trip to the Galapagos to anyone!

I worked almost daily with Sofia at Columbus Travel. She answered all my questions professionally within a day and reset my itinerary several times until it was perfect. The guide and driver chosen for us were beautiful. The hotels she recommended were clean and comfortable and served delicious food. The tours to a Chocolate plantation, hummingbird, and butterfly gardens blended well with the city and hiking tours. It was a very good package, and I can’t think of anything that could have made it better. Our guide, Pablo, answered all our questions but also explained Ecuador’s geography, history, and culture. I enjoyed the little side trips to markets and had time alone to venture into a few cities. My daughter accompanied me on this trip, and Pablo had many questions for her. He was so kind. Patricio, our driver, and Pablo made us laugh and seemed like old friends accompanying us. I wish I could have stayed longer!

My travel agent Sofia was very helpful in providing information and answering my various questions in a timely manner. While we communicated exclusively through email and text, I found her professional, personable and knowlegable. She even provided me a cell number to call her if needed but it was needed because everything went so well. I also appreciated the phone call from Maria upon arrival to my hotel in Quito to make sure I arrived okay and to reconfirm my appointment the next morning with Pablo. He was a great help in assisting me with processing migration documents to enter the Galapagos Islands. This service saved me almost an hour wait/processing time. That was a very nice extra service provided. I will be contacting Sofia when I start planning my next trip

Pablo Rea was extremely helpful, responsive, and enthusiastic. I had some worries about travel at this time, and he was so supportive regarding my concerns and made sure every issue was addressed. The services were highly efficient and reliable. We were so impressed that they arranged for us to get the COVID tests we needed within the time frame required. Everything went smoothly, and it was a fantastic trip.
I will recommend this service to my friends. They are very professional. The trip was made easy because they paid attention to all the details.

Sofia was amazing! Great communication! She always got back to me right away, and she was a significant problem solver when I was in the middle of the jungle and had some issues. My original dive was canceled, but that was no fault of anyone except Covid-19. When it was canceled, Sofia immediately contacted me with several other options, and it worked out fine. The dive was terrific as well. Thanks for everything!

At first, I was a little afraid because I found it on the internet, and there was not much information on Spanish websites, but after some research, we decided to buy it and were not disappointed.
