Allie Almario did an excellent job of planning our trip to the Galapagos, from providing very useful information on hotels, restaurants, and sights for our first stop, Guayaquil, to securing our cabin on Ecoventura’s Theory ship for an outstanding Galapagos tour.

Allie Almario was beyond excellent. Every step of our vacation was perfect. Someone was always where they were supposed to be and ready to get us on our way. Prior to our trip to Galapagos she talked with me many times to customize our trip to what exactly we wanted. Our Ship the Infinity was wonderful with an excellent staff and guides. Sam and Eric could not have been better. When we arrived at Miami airport on the way to Ecuador we discovered one
of our family had her expired Passport. A call to Allie on that Saturday was responded too and new travel plans were made. all worked out to the best.

Our guide in and around Quito ( Wilson ) was fantastic Allie could not have been better just a perfect trip.

Allie steered us right into an awesome trip to the Galapagos with time at the end of the trip spent in a grand Hacienda in the Andes north of Quito.

The entire trip went off without a hitch. Their Ecuadorian partners were knowledgeable, friendly and flexible when we hit a spot of rainy weather.

The “Grace” exceeded all of our highest expectations.

Accommodations were perfect giving us a good feel for the local culture.

For help putting a “once in a lifetime” Galapagos trip together you will not do better than Allie.

OMG! I cannot even begin to tell you how magical our trip was! I will never try to organize my own vacations again.

We both are still so excited about having experienced yet again another magical trip with Premier Tours. First Africa, then Ecuador, and we are already planning our next trip to the Galapagos, probably with our littles in tow to experience!
