I cant say enough great things about Quasar. Every step was well planed. I never had to guess or worry about tickets or transportation. The guides and staff are wonderful. The two guides on the boat are a must for everyone. Raphael and Juan are outstanding. I noticed other tour companies and talked to guest that didn't even come close to the service received by Quasar. I cant wait to use Quasar again. Thank you for a vacation of a lifetime. Mark Miller

We found Quasar Expeditions online and we're glad we did. Excellent sales rep was very knowledgeable and responded very quickly. The cruise was wonderful. Our guide put the topping on our trip and the crew was very attentive. Overall pleased with the food and great service. We highly recommend fellow travelers to the Galapagos to book with this company.

What an amazing experience! There is nothing else in the world like the Galapagos Islands. Seeing the wildlife on the Grace yacht made it that extra bit special. The boat has history and you can feel it. It's a nice size, much smaller than many of the other boats visiting the islands. This makes the whole experience feel more special. The smaller boat also means a better guide to passenger ratio. And just seeing the profile of the yacht from the distance was an uplifting sight...Far better than any modern fiberglass boat. The service from the crew was exceptional. Every member of staff enjoyed what they were doing, all requests were gladly managed by the team. The quality of the food from such a limited galley was amazing. Rapha, the head guide, was the best guide we've ever had on a tour. He was knowledgable, funny and enthusatic. Head office communication was responsive and helpful. There was loads of information available and provided. You pay a bit more than some other alternatives, but it defintely felt like we were getting value for money despite the higher cost. Would definitely recommend.

Quasar Expedition staff were attentive and really helpful in organising my trip to the Atacama Desert. They suggested I stay at the Alto Atacama Lodge which was a wonderful choice. I had a brilliant trip!

What an amazing adventure. I wasn't sure what to expect and I'm still not sure that I actually have the language to describe the voyage other than to say it was like visiting the Original Garden. Our naturalists were incredibly knowledgeable and made our excursions meaningful and fun; the crew catered not just to our "vacation" needs but also, literally, to our physical needs. I was very concerned for my 83 father's safety and the entire crew, including Captain Victor, took such great care of him, ensuring that he was able to participate as fully as he wanted in a safe manner, was above and beyond. The crew also took into account that a ten year old might feel a little out of place in a crowd of teenagers and adults, and they were so exceptionally kind to my nephew. A wonderful crew and if you ever need a nurse to go on any voyage, I'm your trusted Shellback :-) Thank you all again.

We had a fabulous trip to Galapagos on MV Evolution. We were impressed with the organisation and service. Excellent staff, the experience, knowledge and passion of the naturalist guides was exceptional, food really good ( only complaint there was too much, and lighter alternatives for lunch would be welcome). The itinerary was action packed which we enjoyed to get most out of our experience and the boat high standard of comfort. Thank you Quasar!

The 7 days were wonderful Alex was a superb guide, with incredible knowledge. Meals were excellent. Michelle was an excellent hostess, and all the crew were very very good. Nellie kept our cabins really clean. We were most disappointed with the $200 per person drinks charge . Only Sauvignon Blanc , which we don't drink , Cabernet Sauvignon which we drink rarely , beer . No Chardonnay , Merlot , or mixed drinks eg Giin & Tonic which we especially Gaye drinks , which we had to purchase on top . Not explained to me and very poor value . Jimmy , our captain was excellent as previous .

We have traveled all over and with various companies. Quasar was one of the easiest, organized companies that we have worked with. We will book another trip with them in the future.

I had a wonderful trip on the M/Y Grace. The staff and crew were incredible and the amenities on the yacht were well-designed. I strongly recommend booking your Galapagos trip with Quasar.

I picked the boat because of the itinerary, but now that I've been on it, I'll gladly recommend it on all fronts. The boat itself is beautiful, the suites are perfectly laid out, and the food was delicious. The crew were all warm and welcoming, and they where always ready and on time. Your adventures on the island will depend on your guide, but from what we've seen, Quasar is very good at selecting them. Ours was named Rafael and I can't imagine any guide providing a more enjoyable experience.

Our cruise on the Evolution was absolutely outstanding! The cruise staff and naturalists exceeded our expectations, and the activities and wildlife experiences were fun, interesting and educational. I would recommend this cruise to the fussiest of travelers and would most definitely travel with Quasar on another adventure!

Quasar Expeditions far exceeded all of our expectations for our week-long Galapagos cruise on M/Y Grace. The classically designed yacht was impeccably maintained, the suite spacious, the food delicious, and travel connections and bookings seamless. The most extraordinary part of our experience, however, were the Quasar travel consultants, the crew aboard M/Y Grace, and the two Naturalist Guides who enlightened us and helped us to share their love for the Galapagos Islands. From start to finish, the Quasar team made us feel like family. We would absolutely travel with Quasar Expeditions again in the future, in fact, we're currently deciding the dates for our next Galapagos cruise on M/Y Grace.

An unforgettable week! We are still talking about our incredible experience in the Galapagos - Footsteps of Darwin - in early Feb 2019. Absolutely everything on the Grace yacht was fabulous. The food, the accommodation, the common areas, the feeling of being on such a historic vessel - everything was outstanding. Even better were the staff onboard, who were so friendly, thoughtful and welcoming. Above all, though, the guides, and the well-constructed itinerary in this unique part of the world really made this trip unique. Quasar staff were so helpful from the very start of our planning process, and helped us through the pre-departure process, and all transfers, land arrangements organised by Quasar worked perfectly, as well. We travelled with our 2 children aged 10 and 13 and we all learned so much. I could not recommend Quasar highly enough and we can't wait to return to the Galapagos and Ecuador.

Our trip to the Galapagos was fantastic. There was not one thing I could think of that could have been better. The crew, the guides, the excursions, the food, the accommodations were beyond my expectations and my expectations were high. Thank you to Diane and Paul Schicke for being the best booking agents ever! I would definitely book Quasar Expeditions for any trip to South America and I would definitely refer my friends and family.

Our tour of the Galapagos couldn't have been better. Grace is a beautiful ship, and from the moment we boarded we were treated to a week of adventure and fun. Alex and Walter were excellent guides. They had the answers to all our questions, and shared information about the islands to make every stop so special. The snorkeling and hiking were well planned to give us the best experience possible. The crew took care of our every need. Rooms were cleaned several times a day, and the food was excellent. Our cruise director, Michelle, was a pro at keeping things running smoothly. The captain was very skilled and clearly concerned about our safety and comfort. We had a minor medical issue arise on the trip, and the crew and tour company coordinated to take care of the situation. It was handled so well that it barely affected our trip. I would recommend this trip to anyone.

Our trip to Ecuador and Galapagos in January was one of the best trips my husband and I have ever taken. It had the perfect combination of beautiful scenery, very knowledgeable tour guides and interesting travel companions. We were also thankful for all the planning and organization that Quasar put into making our trip a success. The hotels, tours etc were all great. Thank you to Quasar particularly Diane for making our trip flow seamlessly. We were so lucky to get it in before Covid 19 arrived!

As a busy biz guy, I dread the planning process for travel, they made it super simple to set up the trip, communication was great, and the overnight stops greatly exceeded our expectations. Flawless planning on their part, fantastic experience, we're already planning our next trip with them!
