Hi Paola,

Thanks for everything that you have done and helped me. My daughter and I had a really good time in the Galapagos Islands. All crews are so friendly and nice. The accommodation was so brilliant.
Thank you so much for your wonderful help. We might contact you again in a few years, my daughter still asking about to go back to Galapagos again; with the same cruise (Athala) and same captain.
Thank you so much for everything that you've done and helped us.

Thank you again.

Hello Paola,

I wanted to send you a quick note to thank you so much for your assistance with our trip. We were so pleased with everything! Our accommodations were superb. The food was fabulous. The staff at the hotels, restaurants, and cruise ship were top notch. This trip was very special, as it was our honeymoon. We just couldn't be more happy with our experience. We were especially pleased to see our kind driver waiting for our arrival at the airport in Quito at 3:30am! We were so late we weren't sure if he'd be there, but he was.

Thank you so much for making the planning process so easy. I will highly recommend your service to anyone that asks about traveling to the Galapagos.

All the best to you.

Hi Salo,

We just arrived back in Quito after our wonderful Galapagos trip! We can't thank you enough for handling everything in such a professional manner. Lenny was a wonderful guide and we told him to give you our greetings...then I saw I had saved your email address. Haugen Cruises ROCK and we will tell our friends about it and recommend they tour with you!

Hi Maria,

Stacey and I are back in the States and already missing the Galapagos.

We just wanted to send you a note saying "muchas gracias" for all your help in making our honeymoon special! We both feel like it was picture-perfect, and we will have memories for a life time. Thank you for going above and beyond by checking in with us to make sure everything was OK during the trip. Also, thank you to you and your team for retrieving our lost bag before we could really miss it!

I am glad we arranged our honeymoon with you and we will not hesitate to recommend your company to everyone who will listen!

Muchas gracias!

Dear Lilian,

I wish you a very HAPPY NEW YEAR ! !

Thank you for your help in organizing my trip to Galapagos Islands. I enjoyed my trip very much. The catamaran NINA was excellent choice. The captain and the crew was very friendly and helpful to me and other guest.

Gabriela Salgado did excellent job organizing social happenings. She is very nice person, and very professional and able at her job. I think she is an asset to your company.

Estaban Chavez (Naturalist Guide) did very good job in explaining all about the nature on the Islands. Specially on the subject of the Darwin finches that is of great interest to me.

Please give my regards to them and all the crew.

Sincerely

Lorena,
I thank you for organizing a fantastic tour for us.
The complete experience was positive: the hotels, the guides, the sites, the Santa Cruz ship, Machu Picchu, Lima.
We have learned much about Ecuador & Peru but realize there is much more to learn; so will need to return someday in the future.
Thanks again for your professionalism.

Hi Christian and Fernanda,

The food was very good and we rerally enjoyed the evening. The stay in Quito was very pleasant. Many thanks for all the arrangements you have made. The cruise was also a memorable and fantastic cruise. No doubt Galapagos is one of the best places to visit and hope everything will be preserved for the next generation. It was a truely an inspiring and exciting trip. We hope we will be able to visit there again sometime in the future.

Hope you have a great new year.

Thanks.

Lorena:

We want to thank you for the perfect arrangements and our Excellent trip. All activities related to the Galapagos and La Pinta were perfect. The boat, the crew, the naturalists, the accommodations and food and especially all of the daily activities were great. We thoroughly enjoyed everything.

In Quito, Ivan was excellent. He was especially resourceful on the day that the access to Otavalo was blocked. We enjoyed the morning market and our trip to Cotapaxi, which also was difficult to access. A high point was our good fortune to see condors flying in the parkland.

Thanks for everything.

A short note to "Thank you" very much for planning and executing our trip,on such short notice.

Michael and I had a wonderful adventurous time. Enjoyed every minute of it, along with feeling safe, which is a high priority when travelling with a "special grandson"...

The La Pinta was a great way to travel, the Captain, Crew and Naturalists were excellent hosts. Always looking out for everyone and making sure our needs were met at all times...

Needless to say we will be recommending you to our friends who want to travel to the Ecuador and the Galapagos.

You are an excellent travel consultant. We need more like you. All your work and planning are truly appreciated. We had a "Once in a lifetime vacation." Thanks to all your efforts and arrangements.
Sincere regards,

Hi Lorena,

Just a big THANK YOU for organizing a really great trip for me. Every aspect went very smoothly and I felt very well taken care of in Quito and getting me to/from the Grace cruise. Gloria was excellent and helped ensure that I moved smothly thru the process, in Quito, and assisted with some adjustments.
And of course the cruise Grace and Galapagos experience was unbelievable, surreal, amazing.....

Thank you,

Happy New Year! Thanks for a wonderful trip. Everything that you planned was perfectly scheduled and timed like clock-work. Every single driver, tour guide, etc... was great and on time. The cruise was terrific, the food great, the size of the boat was just right. The sights were obviously spectacular- but I can't give you credit for that! If you want any very specific feedback on any aspect of the trip please let me know.

I will be sure to give your info to anyone interested in a trip to the Galapagos, Ecuador or South America.

Dear Juan

We got back safely on Sunday: 20 hours from door to door. You made our experience in Ecuador an extremely enjoyable one and we have 1000s of vivid memories that will live with us forever. We had and have a wonderful impression of your country which you are largely responsible for. We learned a great deal from you and feel we did a lot without being overwhelmed by too much: just right.

So - thanks again and have a wonderful year 2010!

With all best wishes
