We had a wonderful time, everything was well organized.Juan Pablo is the best host!

This was an amazing trip! Juan Pedro was very helpful before and during our travels. He made the planning process easy and checked in with us every day while traveling to confirm itineraries, transportation, restaurant reservations, etc. All transportation was timely. The accommodations were very comfortable and the restaurants were top-notch! Everything planned was very kid-friendly at our request. We truly enjoyed the planned itinerary. The tours were well-chosen with reputable tour groups, and we appreciated that free time was built in for resting or doing other things on our own. Thank you, Smart Galapagos, for an amazing experience with a more affordable price tag!

Our trip was fantastic! We were taken care of the whole way through via WhatsApp and Juan Pablo. He linked us with our people on the ground and was constantly checking in with us. Speaking of, our people on the ground were also super welcoming and helpful. We did the diving tour and our dives were epic - the best diving we have done! Our accommodation was lovely and overall an absolutely awesome week. We can't believe the value for money

Juan Pablo of Smart Galapagos organised a fantastic 8 day Galapagos experience for my group of 4 friends. It could not have been better organised. The hotels were all comfortable with lovely, helpful staff and great views. The restaurants were always the best in town. We saw all the major sights on the three main islands and it all ran like clockwork. He got us great prices and made sure we had a lot of extras. He kept in touch with us constantly, making sure everything was perfect. Thank you, Juan Pablo ! What a great experience ! All ' of us would highly recommend Smart Galapagos.
