We began dealing with Hugh from Andandotours in Feb 2020 - a month before the covid pandemic hit the world. We had put down a significant deposit for a family trip for 13 people to travel to the Galapagos and Amazon for Xmas 2020 - which did not happen. Our deposit was held by them to be used for Xmas 2021 and in the early fall we began making plans with the hopes the pandemic would not again cancel us out. It did not and everything that was meticulously planned by us and Hugh at Andandotours was perfect. Hugh went the extra mile with every single question we asked - and there were many - with no question being too small or unimportant to make this trip perfect. He continued through our holiday while he was on holidays when a couple of changes needed to be made. He aided in helping us select our Galapagos boat and Amazon lodge and their logistics in helping with covid tests, airport transfers, Quito hotels was invaluable. Hugh is an excellent travel agent and guide and would highly recommend his expertise.

Andando Tours and their highly esteemed representative , Hugh Yarbrough were exceedingly capable and carefully arranged all aspects of our tour to the last detail. Their guides were top rated local experts, charming thoughtful and very helpful. Their choice of hotels was excellent and transportation arrangements between islands was an exciting part of the experience. My wife and I recommend this company highly for your first or 100th visit to these exquisite islands.

Our trip to the Galapagos with Andando Tours was perfect from the time we landed in Quito.

I believe we wrote a review already but if you can send us the link again, we would gladly submit another one. Our experience with Andando Tours and Hugh Yarborough was fantastic! The dedication and effort we had from him and the agency were superb. We were very excited by the on-ground support provided and the itinerary. The best experience in the Galapagos Islands so far!

If we had the time and money we would do it again. None of us wanted it to come to an end!!! We made an excellent choice, and will be very tough to exceed. Thanks again for introducing us to this option, (and for the very nice bottle of wine on our arrival).

I worked with Hugh who was very professional and prompt with providing information and answering questions. What he said we'd get is just what we got. We booked on the Sea Star Journey which was a lovely boat, great food, great staff. We didn't see as much wildlife as I'd hoped - but the rest of the trip was great.

Please thank Carolina, Eduardo, the Mary Anne crew, and the team at Andando Tours for ensuring that I had a fabulous holiday in the Galapagos and Quito. Wonderful people, amazing places! Thank you!

This was one of the best holidays I've ever had. While I was very reluctant to join a tour, it was simply awesome. Eduardo, our guide, is an absolute legend when it comes to his knowledge and passion about the environment. You will not regret this one bit. It's a trip of a lifetime. Go with the flow and enjoy every minute of it.

I recently traveled to the Napo Wildlife Center and took various tours in the Quito vicinity. I could not have been more pleased with the tours themselves, but also with the care Andando provided. I asked them to put together an itinerary for me, a solo traveler, that was upscale but provided a great deal of adventure. The Amazon was amazing, and I actually climbed to 16,000 feet at Cotopaxi, finishing up my adventure soaking in the pools at Termas Papallactas! Fantastic! Hugh Yarborough was the lead agent who put everything together, keeping me in the loop via email. Everything went off without a hitch! Thanks so much for your help in putting together one of the best vacations I've ever been on!

I had the most wonderful time on the Mary Anne in May 2018. Every aspect of the vacation was great - the exquisite food, the accommodations, the ambiance, the crew, the guide, and the other passengers. It was a once-in-a-lifetime experience.

Excellent. Not only were the locations everything we could have hoped for (Galapagos and Machu Picchu), but the guides, drivers assistants, accommodations and food were all first class! The level of service far exceeded our expectations and made our trip even more special!

We were 100% happy with the cruise on the SS Mary Anne booked through your agent. There was only one part of the plan that did not work. We were advised that a representative from the SS mary anne would meet us at Santa Cruz Wharton to collect our luggage and this did not happen.We had to keep this with us and travel to the Tortoise Ranch with bags. As we are confident, independent travellers this did not bother us, however, some customers may have been stressed by this happening. I know this is a small thing but it does help to have things smooth at the start of a trip to get off to a trusting start. Forgetting that, the trip was amazing, the ship crew wonderfula and we are busting to return and do another trip in this wonderful place. We would definitely use the same ship and agent Glenda and Bronwyn

- My wife Trix and I were aboard The Passion for eight days and I spent the evenings reading the books in your library. - Needless to say, Sylvia's words and pictures captivated me. - Thank you for giving me an insight into the beauty of the Galapagos. As I said to the captain and the crew. "The Galapagos is the last canary in the last coal-mine. If the Galapagos dies, civilization dies".

Andando Tours did everything to arrange all the details to have a nice trip to Galapagos Islands. A very nice experience We had a good time on the sailboat. The crew looked after us very well and the food is quite good. Visiting the Islands and getting know the fauna and flora are unique experiences ... if you can do it, do it.

Everything was fantastic from the beginning! The wildlife was impressive, something that I've never seen so far. The crew in the Passion was exceptional, caring and attentive at all times. After excursions they will greet us with delicious snacks and fresh beverages, warm towels, jaccuzzi after snorkeling and the food was simply stunning. The yacht is also impressive and huge! I haven't been before in the Galapagos but If I ever come back I'll definitely go back to Passion. Thank you Andando for making my trip extra special.

We stayed at the Pikaia Hotel and had 8 days on the new yacht The Passion..... The itinerary was suggested and planned by Sea Shepherd and organized by Andando tours. The whole experience was unforgettable.
