GBAmazing experience, beautifully organized and executed. Our guide was fantastic - and both naturalists extraordinary. Made it fun, helped us learn, created a life time experience. The boat and amenities were wonderful. The food outstanding, and the crew was so attentive-talented-and professional. My only suggestions would be to create a photo data base to provide linked to the list of flora/fauna we summarized toward the end of the trip. Also maximize the on land portions as you can, depending on the season.

GBI 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

GBBoat 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.

GBThe 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.

GBIE Amazon River trip was wonderful IE Amazon River trip was wonderful! Amazing Staff and breathtaking nature. The Naturalists were great they really seemed to enjoy spending time with us and they were great at pointing out nature and illustrating with personal anecdotes and stories. I am not one to count how many birds I see but their enthusiasm spilled over and I became a birder! Love the monkeys, sloths and pink dolphins we saw frequently! The staff on board was kind and and attentive the concerts at night were a highlight. I loved the passion and graciousness of all the staff.
