By Ronald R for Ronald Ringl x1 - Guayaquil 3 Tage on Nov 14, 2023
We contacted Pablo from Vida Tours just six weeks in advance. After about two weeks some few Zoom calls and several WhatsApp messages we were all set. Pablo was always reachable and helped us with all questions. We went to the Amazon and the Galapagos islands. We got the whole package without any trouble and the accommodations were outstanding!! His crew was always on time and really supportive. Pablo also was always available and met with us in person. We never met such a nice and supportive guy!! Everything wss just perfect, will recommend it to friends and family. Many thanks for the great time Pablo and Team!!
