Veloso Tours Traveller Reviews

We had a wonderful holiday in Ecuador organised by Veloso. We visited three very different parts of the country: the city of Quito, the rain forest and the Galápagos Islands. All three were special in their own way.

Veloso organised a very varied tour for us with excellent accommodation, transport and guides. They listened to our requests and put things in place to make our holiday as we wanted it to be. Everything worked well from flights to pick ups.

We flew to Cancun, were driven to Merida where we stayed for 4 nights, went to Chichen Itza for 2 nights and then to Holbox Island for 5 nights.

Listened carefully to our requirements; put together a tour that completely met our needs, gave great advice. Excellent paperwork. Hotels, transport and guide very good.

First visit to Costa Rica visited Tortuguero, Arenal and Rancho Naturalista near Turrialba and had a most enjoyable trip soaking up the abundant wild life and birdwatching.

Very well organised by Veloso Tours in the UK with superb local guides and drivers who were well organised by Travel Excellence in Costa Rica .

Holiday of a lifetime. The entire trip was organised beautifully. Service by the land agents worked like clockwork (maybe airport drop-offs were a bit early but understandable) The accommodation was good but El Remanso in Costa Rica is very special. Service in all of the hotels could not be faulted. The naturalist guides on the Amazon and on our Galápagos cruise were excellent and could answer all of our questions Staying at Napo Lodge on the Amazon is a must and the indigenous people shared their unique understanding of the forest and how this important area can be saved for future generations Our Cruising around the Galapagos on the Endemic was memorable. All staff were excellent and the ship with just 16 passengers was ideal A huge thank you to everyone concerned in making this holiday truly memorable

This is our second holiday organised by Veloso tours. On both occasions our holidays were everything we hoped for. Staff here did everything to make our stays perfect

We are just back from 16 days travelling in Argentina and Brazil, organised by Veloso Tours. Booked in September 2019 and postponed twice because of the pandemic, Veloso were great at keeping us posted and reassured about our planned trip. Throughout the trip all guides were excellent, transport went to plan, and hotels had been thoughtfully chosen. Not our first trip with Veloso, and hopefully not the last - thoroughly recommended!

Veloso Tours go the extra mile to ensure that holidays run smoothly, are hugely knowledgeable about the areas they promote, and care about the enjoyment of their clients. We were amazed at how many of our guides told us how much they like working for Veloso and how caring they were of them throughout the pandemic. We were very impressed!

Amazing trip in Ecuador and the Galapagos, mixed activities, high standard of guides, transport and accommodation. All communication and documentation of a similarly high standard throughout. Loved every minute!

Excellent communication, helpful planning including zoom meetings and emails for govt covid changes whilst we were away.

A wonderful blend of seeing incredible nature , gaining an understanding of cultures by meeting local peoples and educating ourselves in unique Mayan historical events.

All things very well planned and an itinerary that met our requirements .

We travelled to Ecuador and The Galapagos Islands, Veloso Tours had been recommended to us by Delmar World Travel and after viewing the brochure and researching the area we decided to consult someone from Veloso Tours in conjunction with Delmar to help us make a plan. We talked about what we wanted from the holiday explaining our interests and what we would like to see. We toured Ecuador starting in Quito and the surrounding area including Otavalo market Papallacta Hot Springs and then travelled south along The Avenue of the volcanoes taking in the Devil's Nose Railway and on to the delightful city of Cuenca before continuing to Guayaquil and flying on to the Galapagos Islands . We were met by our guide and taken to our motor yacht The Beluga, all aspects of the cruise were excellent our excursions to various islands were amazing being able to view birds, land and marine life in such close proximity was special.

The Veloso team were extremely helpful and tailor made the holiday to meet our needs. We were very impressed by their organisation and the care that was taken in Ecuador and The Galapagos to deliver a splendid holiday. All guides and staff took great care of us and we would not hesitate to travel with them again. All hotels were carefully chosen and were of a high standard. Our guide/driver in mainland Ecuador Mauricio Baus was knowledgeable, interesting and helpful.

Extremely well organised, every transfer, tour ran to schedule. The quality of hotels, tour guides & drivers all excellent. We had exactly the right blend of relaxation & activity.

Tour operator listened well to our requirements & amended as necessary, nothing was too much trouble!

We visited, Santiago, Easter Island, Cruise in southern fjords of Chile, Torres del Paine NP, Calafate and Perito Marino Glacier, El Chalten and Fitz Roy massif, Igazu Falls, and finished in Rio de Janeiro

Veloso tours were excellent, everything went to plan, with the local companies in Chile, Argentina and Brazil chosen by Veloso were brilliant. The individula guides in Santiago and Rio de Janeiro were very professional and looked after us really well. their knowledge of their cities was first rate. We would fully recommend Veloso not only for their excellent organisation but they really have a full knowlege of South America having visited and met the local tour operators and guides but also the price was very competitive.
