Well organized, informative trips by Classic Journeys This was our second Classic Journeys trip. They excel at being well organized and taking seamless care of all the details that people take organized trips for -- ie. hotel reservations, bus and plane transport,meals, guides, entry fees, etc. We have had excellent guides that enhanced our trip experience. Not so active, but they really provide good basis for cultural and historical learning.

Once in a lifetime What a truly memorable journey. Lots to see, do and feel. The Galapagos has a soulfulness you don't often experience on a family vacation. Our guide, Pablo Puente, was the best. Under his skilled and attentive watch, we had a front row seat to the fragility, splendor and resiliiance of the islands and of life ion this planet in general

This was an incredible journey. This was an incredible journey. From start to finish, everything fell into place and made our trip comfortable and enjoyable. The Galápagos Islands are a world of their own and our very knowledgeable guide (Alfredo) knew every nook and cranny. We were up close and personal with giant tortoises, swam with Sea turtles and penguins and baby sea lions. Met a host of marine iguanas sunning on boardwalk and pathways as well as adult sea lions. Hotels, restaurants, and special venues served up delicious local specialties and beverages. Truly, a trip to remember.

Our fourth Classic Journey The places we went were special, not just popular and the pace was full but not hurried Where we stayed, the inns and hotels were unique, beautiful, intimate. The guides knew their terrain AND listened well to the people on the tour The groups were small - made up of interesting people who treated each other in a warm and respectful manner
