Rainforest and Galapagos Traveller Reviews

Most people know about Galapagos as a unique destination, but few realise that Ecuador mainland has great places to visit. Quito’s old town, Cloud forest lodges, high class haciendas in the country, Cotopaxi volcano, devil nose railway and horse riding in national parks took us two weeks before we flew to Galapagos for a top class cruise on a 16 guest catamaran. Wow factor 10.

Tribes helped us to understand the range of options and March them to our preferences to produce a fantastic three week holiday that exceeded our expectations. Rory was responsive, knowledgeable and resourceful and we would recommend him highly.

Totally lived up to out expectations. All excursions were brilliant.

They took time to ensure we had the right package for our needs

Fascinating locations and wildlife.

All the arrangements Tribes made were spot on. If only Avianca were as good!

In three weeks, we visited Cusco and the awe-inspiring Machu Picchu in Peru; then moved to Ecuador, where we spent four nights at the fabulous Napo Wildlife Centre, two nights at the Bellavista cloud forest, and eight nights on board the Beluga cruising the Galapagos Islands, which are simply out of this world. We didn't have to worry about a thing - everything was arranged for us and went smoothly and our tour guides were excellent.

From when we first contacted Tribes in 2015 to discuss our holiday to actually going in May 2017, Guy and Paul were very helpful and informative, with very practical advice based on sound knowledge of the places we were visiting. They responded to our queries quickly, provided all documents in a timely manner and the Vamoos app was great. I would strongly recommend them.

After a brief stay in the fascinating city of Quito, we visited the Amazon rainforest. We then spent a week cruising the Galapagos Islands and rounded off our trip with a few days birdwatching in the cloud forest.

We chose Tribes Travel because they specialise in Eco-tourism and support sustainable projects. They were very efficient and helpful, right from our initial inquiry, tailoring our holiday to fit in everything we wanted to do. We haven't taken this kind of organised tour before and we were very pleased.

Visited Cusco, Machu Picchu, Quito and the Galapagos and thoroughly recommend a similar itinerary to all that might be interested.

An almost perfect trip extremely well organised by Tribes and fulfilled by their partners locally without a hitch. Brilliant helpful considerate guides

See above.

Very good at tailoring holidays to our requirements and at finding great accommodation.
