Trip of a lifetime

01-Jan-2023

Latin Trails booked our trip to the Galapagos to stay on the Seaman Journey in Jan 2023. They took care of everything. Valeska from Latin Trails met us at the Quito airport with a sign with our names on it. She checked us in for our flights, helped us check our bags, everything was done in 10 minutes. She gave us printed itinerary and cash for the Galapagos national parks pass (you have to pay in cash once you arrive). The cruise with the Seaman Journey was a dream. They were waiting for us at San Cristobal airport when we arrived and whisked us to the boat. The entire trip was wonderful, the crew was very safe and had amazing customer service. Marco was our naturalist guide for the cruise and he was so knowledgeable and worked hard to ensure we had a great time. We were able to hike, snorkel and kayak and I got to see all the animals on my bucket list. The crew on the Seaman Journey had snacks and drinks and cucumber towels for all of us every time we came back to the boat after an excursion. The food was great, lots of variety and very tasty. I’m vegetarian and I was very pleased at how many vegetarian options there were. Latin Trails told Seanan Journey I was celebrating my birthday on this trip and they decorated my cabin, made me a cake and sang to me. I was very touched and impressed at their thoughtfulness. I highly recommend Latin Trails and the Seaman Journey.

Amazing Trip in Quito thank you Latin Trails

My husband and I took a trip to the Galapagos Islands and Latin Trails coordinated our fabulous stay at the ILLA Experience in Quito prior to our trip. We had a wonderful experience and I would highly recommend this company. First-class and customer service detailed. The luxury boutique hotel the ILLA Experience they booked for us in San Marcos is a true gem located in the UNESCO heritage site of Quito which was outstanding! We toured the area with a hotel guide Xavier who was knowledgeable and personable. Would highly recommend!

MegsCol

Trip tailored just for us. They took all the work out of traveling.

22-Dec-2023

It was so nice to have some ideas about what our family of 4 wanted to do and where we wanted to go and to have Latin Trails work out the details. They took care of hotels, excursions and other planned activities, in country flights and ground transportation, and threw in other experiences we didn’t even know we wanted. We loved not having to be on a full tour with other people for the bulk of the trip, allowing us to do exactly what we wanted. We experienced Galapagos, the Amazon jungle, Cotopaxi, Baños, and Quito. So we experienced a wide range of what the country has to offer. Most of the guides were stellar. I highly recommend them.

Paula and Latin Trails was absolutely wonderful to work with! Our clients loved the trip, with Paula's help we were able to match their wishes and hopes for the trip perfectly! Here is what our clients had to say: Everything was set up perfectly. We loved every place we stayed at. All the accommodations were excellent. They are some of the nicest hotels we’ve stayed in. The food was incredible at each stay and luckily the flights were coordinated well and went smoothly, thanks to Danny our super dependable and upbeat guide who gave us punctual times to meet. Our other guides in addition to Danny, Marco (Galápagos), Raul (Coca), and Pedro (Banos) were all great and knowledgeable! ---
