Testimonials - Student Groups

This is a great outfit, both professional and personal. They handled our large group extremely well, and the guides were super-attentive, knowledgeable, and personable. Highly recommended!

All of our services were well planned, and logistics were timely. The hotels and restaurants were great, we felt well-supported in all of the accommodations. Our guide Fabricio was an amazing host for our group. Our students were engaged and inspired by him and his knowledge of the islands. Having such an energetic and engaging guide for our students was key. A huge thank you to everyone who helped make this trip possible, we really appreciate all of the planning and support that went into our experience.

I'd really like to say a very sincere thank you to you and to all the members of the Galakiwi team as we had a fantastic trip! The tour more than exceeded our expectations. All of the students had an unforgettable experience and now they're all asking when we can do it again!

Everything from the accommodation, food and activities was perfect...we have no complaints! Special thanks to Zambo and Pepo who really made the trip extraordinary. Their passion and enthusiasm was so inspiring and they had a wonderful rapport with all of the kids.

We could not have had a better trip and have been praising your team to anyone and everyone who is still willing to listen to us go on and on about our awesome trip.

We definitely look forward to organising another visit in the future.

I cannot say enough positive things about our experience with Galakiwi. Every part of our trip went flawlessly, from the reservation process to the entire itinerary to the final transport back to the airport. Our guide through the islands, Martin, was knowledgeable, dependable, flexible, and fun. Our days were packed with diverse and interesting activities, but not overwhelming. Our hotel accommodations were clean and comfortable. Each of our meals were filling, healthy, fresh, and surprisingly delicious. Pretty much every experience exceeded our expectations! Galakiwi made planning and conducting my first student group trip easy…I will absolutely be a repeat customer!

Your tour guide is the person who holds most of the cards when it comes to what type of experience you get. A group of 10 high school students and two teachers requires a different type of guide and client relationship that not everyone can provide. I can only speak for the one tour guide we had, but he was able to deliver a top-notch experience.

Thanks to Galakiwi, our Melbourne Girls College educational trip to the Galapagos Islands was a huge success. We wanted an all-round travel, community, scientific experience for our girls and Galakiwi delivered a fantastic program. There was an excellent combination of conservation work with the Giant Tortoises, interaction with local school children and the chance to experience the unique wildlife of the Galapagos Islands. The tour guides on each of the islands demonstrated a genuine love for their country and an astounding knowledge of their environment. Nicholas, Pablo and Pepo obviously love passing on their knowledge to visitors and lead us in fun and challenging activities. Tim accompanied us for the time on the islands and his sense of humour and ability to connect to a variety of personalities made our trip really memorable. The addition of a few days on the mainland of Ecuador was fantastic. It added an extra cultural and geographical aspect to our trip. Thanks to Galakiwi for putting together such a wonderful program for our students to experience.
