The tour of the Galápagos Islands was… The tour of the Galápagos Islands was wonderful. ...everything I hoped for. I am 80 years old, with asthma, so I managed what I could of the trip. Riding around in a Panga as great, and I saw lots of scenery and sea birds. The treks across lava fields was interesting, but too long for me.....I found a 3 hour + hike, up hill and down dale at the very limit of what I could physically handle. I did not try the snorkeling or swimming, as I have asthma and the water was quite cold. The shore walks were fine and interesting. The treks through land areas were fun, seeing iguanas and various birds that Darwin studied. Turtle island was terrific, with all the Galápagos turtles walking around. The boat was lovely, accommodations great, food excellent, guides excellent and informative, evening lectures/movies were educational. The fellow travelers were attentive, interested, on time, cooperative, genial.

I have traveled with IE to Peru and… I have traveled with IE to Peru and Botswana and each trip was fantastic. The group leaders, staff, and everyone from the start was courteous and very knowledgeable about the county. Of course the destinations were fantastic, but the attention to detail that made every aspect of the trip special was such an added bonus. I am already planning another trip with them and would totally enjoy taking the trips I had again. Totally recommend for all ages and ability levels

We had a wonderful time and were… We had a wonderful time and were pleased with special efforts made to accommodate us after our arrival was delayed because of severe weather in El Paso. Our accommodations were splendid, our guides outstanding and the meals were delicious and tastefully presented. The hikes and boat trips through jungle and cloud forest were experiences to be cherished and long remembered. We highly recommend it to anyone considering such an adventure.. Tom and Rami Scully

VVery good with reservations Very informed guides and the wildlife and historical sites were superb as was the food. Logistics however need to be improved. First day should have come with a list of suggestions and a city map. Rooms should not have overlooked a religious site which was going to have all night long celebrations interfering with any sleep. Too early a start on last day which was much too long and really continud into the nighttime departures.

Boat camping on the Amazon I love camp. Great planning of the entire day. Never at loose ends. Your expert staff from mechanics to chef from room detail to personal care were always ahead of us. The appointment of the rooms and ship are in every detail excellent. Most importantly every day brought adventure and excitement. A special thank you to our naturalist guides for the greatest of camp experiences.
