Best experience ever!

07-Apr-2023

For 4 days we were dropped in the jungle by Rebecca. And the greatest experience ever! When they say dropped it is true, in the Amazone you are in the middle of nowhere. We saw so many different types of wildlife, with my personal favorite being a sloth:) The guides, chefs, and transportation were professional and nice. I would recommend this trip to anyone in the future!

16-Nov-2024

Four of us traveled with Rebecca Adventures to Galapagos and Quito. Our tour and guides arranged by RATravel were amazing. We stayed on the islands instead of more popular boat adventures and did not regret. Staying in small hotels and eating in local restaurants was beyond fantastic. The food was fabulous (Bahia Mar, Almar, to name a few). Getting to experience the local culture and night life was an experience of a lifetime. Many thanks to this tour agency (Maggy) and our guides: Sebastian (greeter), Karen, Vincente (drive), Caesar, Fernando, Marco (driver).

Amazing Adventure!

06-Jul-2023

This was the trip of a lifetime! Everything was organized so that every day was better than the last. From hiking up volcanos to see a beautiful crater lake to hiking to a basecamp below a glacier the views were amazing! We also biked down a mountain and went rafting. All the equipment and support along the way was top notch and the people who supported us treated us like family!! This was a trip I will never forget and look forward to booking another trip with them!!!

06-Jan-2024

We just returned from the a family trip to the Galapagos arranged through Rebecca Adventure Travel and have nothing but positive comments. The recommended tours were all spot-on, and the daily itinerary reminders and modifications were perfect. If I go back, I will use Rebecca again. Tips for anyone visiting the Galapagos: bring plenty of cash (in U.S. dollars), as many restaurants do not accept credit cards. And bring an underwater camera. If you are prone to motion sickness, the speedboat rides between islands can be brutal in rough weather. Familiarize yourself with the tipping customs. You will love the Islands, and the Ecuadorians.

We could not have been happier!

We could not have been happier than we were with our adventure with Rebecca Adventure Travel! From building our tour, to adding additional days, and setting up payment the process was easier than we have ever experienced. Everything was EXACTLY as described. The trip was flawless!! We have traveled all over the world and NEVER had a guide as great as Julio!! He is perfection!

24-Aug-2024

Was contracted by our direct booking agency to facilitate mainland and Amazon travel. We got messages about itinerary that conflicted with the one given by our main company and by the schedule of events at the lodges/companies. Treated passive aggressively with snapshots of their itinerary (which we NEVER got a copy of or knew existed) when we asked questions to make sure we had adequate lodging and airport transportation.
