Wow, what a great overall experience.|We planned our trip through Andrea and Lizeth @ Safari Camp who did an outstanding job. |The trip began with 2 nights in Quito at the Illa Experience Hotel ( great boutique hotel with great staff and wonderful food);and a city tour with our excellent guide. We were so glad we followed Andrea and Lizeth’s suggestion to add this to our trip. The tour was outstanding, hotel and staff were great, sites were beautiful and educational. Sebastian was an outstanding guide and our driver, Louis was great. |The next 4 nights were at SafariCamp . Juan, Sandra, and team were great. Our “ tent” was very nice, food was outstanding, and the staff could not do enough for us. The tours of Santa Cruz, snorkeling, island tours / wildlife and tortoise tours were great and lead by our outstanding tour guide Sandi and driver Fernando. |We then proceeded onto the Elite luxury cruise for 4 nights. This gave us access to “ outer islands” seeing hundreds of sea lions, snorkeling with rays, sea turtles, hammerhead sharks, blue and red footed boobies and lots of birds and great sites. The yacht was beautiful, crew was outstanding, tour guide, David, was super and the food/ post excursion snacks were delicious .|At every step of the trip, we were met/ escorted by a member of the professional staff, assisted thru customs, tickets handed to us. Service was top notch! |We travel very often, this was one of our best trips with excellent planning, great sites, excellent food, great service, super staff members.
