Daniel, the guide, is knowledgeable. He hosted a tour of Communa 13 using a historic and ethnographic lens to illustrate socioeconomic evolutions. It was a deep education of a district I would have otherwise never had the opportunity to become acquainted

We (my husband and I ) had an amazing time in the Galapagos Islands! We did this trip at the end of October 2020 after the stressful lockdown covid months, so we were looking forward to unwind and visit for the first time the enchanted islands as our vacation. The tours designed by Rebecca Adventure were perfect and customized to our taste and needs. We visited Santa Cruz and Isabela and it was perfect because there weren't many tourists at the time due to the pandemic. We were truly impressed with all the activities, the wildlife and the services provided by our tour guides. We got to see most of the land and marine fauna that we expected, including hammerhead sharks. It was without a doubt one of the most memorable trips of our lives. We highly recommend Rebecca Adventure as your tour agency for the Galapagos and Ecuador. Biosecurity measures were very well respected on the islands, so its safe to travel! If you're looking to come to Ecuador and the Galapagos this is the time, still less tourists, the wildlife is truly impressive and besides life is short, take risks and ENJOY IT!

This tour was a great surprise in our short time spent in Colombia. Although we had to rush to get to the airport right after the tour, the company did everything to help us and the driver dropped us off at the airport with no extra cost. Our driver, Alex, drove very safely and was very friendly and polite. Our guide, Jhon Fredy, was simply the best guide we ever had in all of our travels! He knew everything about the places we went, was very friendly with everyone, and made us feel very comfortable the whole time. It was clear that they weren't there just for the money - they really care about their customers. It really exceeded our expectations!

I went on the tour to Guatape from Medellin and I could not recommend it more. Our guide Sandy who was an excellent English translator was both intelligent and funny. What really made this tour memorable for my group and the reason I am writing this review was Sandy’s kindness. He went out of the way to suggest and facilitate activities(jet skiing) for us when my group wanted to experience Guatape during our free time. We ended up getting stuck on the road because of political protests(5/3/21) and Sandy remained calm and saved our trip. He was resourceful and while dozens of other tour busses waited for hours until the protest ended he led us past the road blocks safely and onto a bus that got us back to medellin in time to go out that night. The other tour guide Elena and the driver Alberto added only good things to our trip. I can not recommend this service enough and hope that Sandy is properly commended because he truly made this tour an incredible day for our group.
