Great guides Great guides, great accommodations for a family of 2 and a family of 11. 2 of us took the Amazon extension and didn't know what to expect....but it exceeded expectations with excellent guides into a jungle ride that was unlike anything I ever did. Warning...lots of walking through jungles is tough slogging. We joined the rest of our family in the Galapagos at the the airport in Quito and met our guide for the first time.....What a guy. A naturalist, sportsman, a gentleman and humorist. Our only glitch was with the original reservations...slow to respond to questions. But, it was worth it.

Excellence every day!! Our superb, experienced, caring, responsible and fun guide, Alessandro along with the beautiful people who made up our group enhanced the beauty of our Classic Journeys experience. The tour itself was true to the itinerary outlined when I booked our tour. It was truly a “walking and cultural experience “ each and every day. We tasted wine, amazing cheeses, unique and incredible dining experiences (a different place each night). We visited less tourist driven villages and really got to feel the heartbeat of Tuscany. I loved each of our hotels as well as “The Villa” we stayed in. Each place had its own unique character and charm as well as luxury as defined with the context of the hotel. There is “a walk” scheduled each day with the option to stay on the bus and ride to the end destination. By the way our driver Michela was superb. I have high expectations and I was not disappointed or dissatisfied at any point. Enjoy your classic Journey!!

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.

Perfect in every way Perfect in every way. This was my third trip with Classic Journeys. Ever detail is arranged to give you a luxury vacation that is both adventurous and pampered. Imagine a 5 star hotel, with a private patio, looking out over an Ancient Greek temple. Breakfast over looking the Mediterranean. Dinner served by a 5 star Michelin chef. A hike up an active volcano. Kayaking a glacier lake. Exploring a monastery on a mountain lake... all of those things are possible when you travel with Classic Journeys.

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
