Hi Elena!
Thanks so much for organizing a great trip for my friends and I - we had a wonderful time and were very pleased with our experience on the Millenium!

Thanks!

Diego!
I just want to take a moment to thank you for arranging the most amazing trip for my mother!! She had a fantastic time and will always treasure the memories of this experience. She took so many pictures of the islands and I can't even describe the incredible beauty we saw. She said the yacht was immaculate and the crew was pleasant and helpful. The food!!! She said she ate so much shrimp that she started to feel like she was turning into one.

She said the guide was very protective of her and would not let her out of his sight. She really appreciated that since there was a lot of rugged terrain to cover.

She said she met some wonderful people that soon became good friends and have invited her back to Quito to stay with them for a vacation. Maybe next time, I will be able to join her.

Thank you Diego, together my mother's dream was fulfilled!

Sincerely,

Hello Ivonne,
I just want to thank you for arranging our vacations in Quito and the Galapagos islands, also for the hotel room upgrade. We had extraordinary times. Both guides Santiago for Quito and Cotopaxi tours and Gustavo on the Millenium were outstanding. I can confirm that they made the difference. We really enjoy our trip and I would recommend you for my family and friends should they decide to visit the Galapagos.

Cheers!

Dear Elena,
We would like to thank you and Columbus Travel for a wonderful visit to Ecuador.

We enjoyed the Dann Carlton and the location was good. The Millennium was a very good boat. The 2 naturalists we had were knowledgeable and the crew was great. The food was excellent.

The Sani Lodge was very nice. We enjoyed the location and there were a lot of tropical birds around. Seth Ames the guide was excellent and very helpful. Freddy the local guide was very good too.

We have told our friends and highly recommended Ecuador and your Travel agency. We may have a return trip to visit the Central highlands in the future. Harry Woods is a mountain climber and is considering returning for a climbing trip.

Ivonne,
I want to thank you again for the remarkable service you provided myself and my group of 6 before and throughout our 18-day travels across Ecuador and the Galapagos Islands. You handled our pre-travel arrangements and fielded our many questions promptly and courteously. Flight, hotel, transfers and ship transport all were well coordinated and the arrangements worked out perfectly.

A special thanks, however, is reserved for your service after I fell ill and had to stay overnight at a hospital in Guayquil. You were able to get us a top-notch hotel room the night I was released from the hospital and to rebook us on the next flight to the Galapagos where you had arranged for airport pickup and a fastboat to get us to our cruise and our friends as quickly as possible. Once again, all those arrangements worked out perfectly. Great Job!

The Hotel Carvallo in Cuenca was great! The Millennium Cruise was a wonderful experience! The staff and guide were top-notch and always available!

Thanks again, Ivonne. I will not hesitate to recommend you to anyone looking
for travel services in and around Ecuador.

Best and Warmest Regards,
