Had a wonderful experience with Quasar, the M/V Evolution, her Captain, Naturalists, and Crew. Every function was well planed. Accommodations, food and services while on board was superb. Mainland services were well orchestrated and provided for our every need.

We LOVED our Galapagos cruise. From the friendly and accommodating crew, the lovely boat, the wonderful naturalists, Raffa and Sam, and fabulous wildlife and snorkeling, it truly was the trip of a lifetime for us. We were in awe!! We have already recommended Quasar to those who have asked about our trip and will not hesitate to continue to recommend this cruise in the future. Now we just need to check out other Quasar destinations!

Trip to Galapagos with Quasar was 5 star, most excellent! Everyone was professional from the room stewards to the dining staff and chef, and especially the naturalist guides. The daily excursions were well done, and varied, and well led. Our guides were so enthusiastic about the islands, their history, and their future. We thoroughly enjoyed every single day.

This trip was extraordinary, everything went off without a hitch. La Selva lodge and the Amazon experience was wonderful, and the Galapagos were amazing. Our ship, the Grace, was beautiful and very comfortable. All guides and staff were great, and couldn't do enough. For us, this was the trip of a lifetime. Can't think what might be better!

We travelled with Quasar Expeditions and found them to be an excellent company. The highlight was a seven day stay on the M/Y Grace. The ship was stunning in every way, delicious food, wonderful staff, excellent service. The attention to our comfort was truly amazing: from the Captain welcoming us back on board, drinks on deck, hot tub and drinking chocolate after snorkel was a great treat The guides was excellent, detailed briefing every night made sure you really knew what you were seeing and experiencing. The small groups and detailed commentary meant we really learnt a lot about the animals, plants and geology. The content was top class for anyone with prior knowledge or who had done lot of preparation. We extended our trip to drive from Guayaquil to Quito and apart from altitude sickness as we reached 14,000 feet we had a wonderful experience. The hotels they arranged were gorgeous, especially, the MaisonAlcazar. beautiful Cuenca. We had a very thoughtful and knowledgeable guide called Franco there. We would wholeheartedly recommend using this company and I tend to do so ourselves.

We normally like to book our international travels ourselves, but given the complexity of the Galapagos we used Quasar. The service in booking and in ongoing support during the trip was outstanding.

I cannot begin to describe how perfect our trip was. Everything from the initial scheduling and arrangements through the final wave goodbye at the airport when our guide delivered us on time for our flight home. Rafael and Walter were fantastic guides...friendly, warm, humorous, and brilliantly knowledgeable. Melissa was the quintessential cruise director and The Grace an elegant home on the water. Thanks for the perfect trip. I have no criticism whatsoever.

Quasar arranged my dream vacation to Galapagos for a landmark birthday. Beautiful vessel, amazing guides, friendly and competent crew, and delicious food. Expeience and attention to detail was evident in every aspect, from clensing towel upon return from excursions, variety in meals, amble delicious snacks, and every luxury. Our very experienced guide even arranged to share photos with passengers before we disembarked. I cannot think of an area in which to improve - maybe a larger wine selection for dinner? I look forward to my next Quasar expedition. This trip was 100% perfect.

Quasar is a FIVE STAR company! Their assistance in planning the trip, eye for detail, care of the passengers, cleanliness on the boat and quality of food is outstanding. Their Level 3 Naturalists teach about the Galápagos the entire week with enthusiasm and obvious love of the land. Bravo!!!

Quasar Expeditions was excellent in every aspect of this amazing trip. From the beginning, the trip planning and attention to detail by Quasar was very thorough and complete.M/Y Grace was a beautiful yacht and her crew was exceptional. We were fortunate to have Rafael and Walter as our guides - not sure there is anyone in the Galapagos who is more knowledgeable about the animal/plant life and geology of the islands than these two guys. Thank you Paul & Diane and all at Quasar Expeditions for this trip of a lifetime.

The process of arranging our Galapagos cruise aboard the M/V Evolution was efficient and organized. We were kept completely informed on a timely basis. An incredible amount of background information was provided. The cruise was excellent, the crew and cruise director, Mishel, were always attentive, friendly, informative, and one step ahead of our needs. From the morning wake up music to the evening briefings for the next day's agenda, the activities were organized and never felt rushed. Food was amazing, plentiful, and of various cuisines. Dr. Ruben, the onboard doctor, was always on the spot monitoring an abrasion caused by a stumble on a trail. The naturalists, Roberto and Gustavo, provided knowledge of the geology, vegetation, birds, reptiles, and sea life that we encountered on the islands and in the sea with clarity and humor. They were invaluable in pointing out things we would have otherwise missed. Our cabin, C4, had plenty of room, was well-equipped and comfortable for a couple despite being one of the smaller ones on the C deck. The trails and landings are not difficult, but do require some agility.

Visiting the Galápagos Islands had been at the top of my bucket list since studying evolution in high school. The best decision we ever made was to take this trip with Quasar on M/Y Grace. The entire experience surpassed anything I could have imagined. The Grace was a beautiful luxury yacht and the staff were of the highest standard catering for everything that would make this a trip of a lifetime. In charge of guest services was Deborah , I cannot rate her highly enough.you never had to ask twice for anything and she was absolutely lovely. Also , a special mention for our two naturalist guides, Rafael Pesantes (Rafa) and Franklin. Both were so knowledgeable and friendly . Rafa, our head guide I imagine is one of the top rated guides in The Galápagos. His knowledge of his home .. the islands themselves was incredible and he delivered this knowledge to us in a fun and highly articulate manner. I think we ‘struck gold’ with both these guides. If I had any criticism at all, it was only that maybe a second bar staff at pre-dinner drinks time might have helped. A trip of a lifetime made extraordinary by choosing Quasar. I intend to return and it will definitely be with Quasar again!

We did go for the 6 day Patagonia jeep safari with guide in October. Our program was custom made with excellent help from Quasar (Philip) including two nights at the Singular hotel in Puerto Natales and three nights at Tierra Patagonia . This turned out to be a very good balance. It allowed us to enjoy two nights at the Singular, one of the best hotels in the world with a very nice views and a superb restaurant. We had programmed a short boat trip to the Estancia La Peninsula, a very enjoyable day! The Tierra Patagonia hotel, close to the Torres del Paine national park is also excellent with an always present manager taking care. Three days were sufficient to explore Torres del Paine especially since we had excellent weather. Quasar delivered as advertised, very professionally and very well organised. Our local guide Gonzalo was outstanding : friendly, knowledgeable, very good driver, perfect communicator. We did go for easy walks in the park and this was a very good choice giving us plenty of time to enjoy the landscapes and the wildlife. Thank you Philip and Gonzalo for this once in a lifetime experience!

As I'm sitting here watching the snow fall, I am wishing it was Thursday night three weeks ago when we had finished the most delicious dinner and were laughing and frolicking onboard MY GRACE. It now feels like a dream! It was the most outstanding trip for many reasons. First, the beauty of the Galápagos Islands is indescribable as is the beauty of MY GRACE! My husband and I LOVED everything about our trip. Words cannot describe how we especially LOVED LOVED the crew! From our outstanding guides Rafa and Walter, Captain Jacinto, lovely Melissa and Nelly, fabulous chefs Vicente and Walter, charming Sau'l, the bartender, engineers Edgar, Luis Miguel and Pedro and panga drivers Miguel and Pablo...let me put it this way...I choked up as we departed at the thought of never seeing them again!! Thank you so much all of you for showing us all the time of our lives!!!! PS And wow! Everyone of them really knows how to "shake a tail feather!" Xoxoxo

We had a phenomenal holiday in the Galapagos and Quito thanks to Quasar. Our week on the Grace was one of the most relaxed and pampered of our lives. The team were exceptional from the time of first enquiry. Nothing was overlooked and nothing was too much trouble. Quasar gave us the best opportunities to experience the islands, such that many days, it felt like we were the only people on earth. The food and service was top notch and the guides enriched the trip with their extensive education and local knowledge. We will be back!
