The most fascinating trip we have taken in many years. A five-star vessel and Crew, all the comforts aboard managed by a highly qualified professional team, and in the islands experienced and knowledgable expedition guides with all the information you need to know what's going on. Metropolitan Touring does an outstanding job of delivering a five-star product end-to-end.

This trip exceeded our expectations! Excellent in all aspects! Our family of 11 ranged in age from 21-76. We booked directly through Metropolitan Touring, and it was fabulous. Our manager at La Pinta answered all the questions. Our guides were incredibly knowledgeable. Our waiter took special care to deal with our family members with food allergies. Our cabin attendant took special care of our wet clothes and shoes.

This was one of the best trips we have ever taken. Everything was exceptional, from the booking process to the pickup/drop-offs to and from the airports. The crews on La Pinta and Mashpi were very knowledgeable; their service was exceptional. The food was terrific. The daily water and land activities were just fabulous and the highlight of the trip. I recommend Metropolitan Touring, who created the best-ever itinerary.

It was a superb trip with a helpful and friendly crew and a great food and everything aboard was very comfortable. Every day, We had opportunities to see unique wildlife in a small group. We also snorkeled most days and went on small boat trips, too. The naturalists were well-informed, entertaining, and caring and took a marvelous set of photos, which they sent us for free. The best way to see the Galapagos.

First Class in every way--ship, staff, food, naturalists, hikes, information
Our expedition to the Western Galapagos aboard La Pinta was first-class. We saw 12 of the “big 15” species, from giant tortoises to Blue Footed Boobies. The ship offered beautiful cabins, fantastic dining, and glass-bottom boat rides. With excellent service, knowledgeable naturalists, and a demanding yet rewarding itinerary, we highly recommend Metropolitan Touring!

INCREDIBLE!
Our six-night Galápagos cruise on Yacht La Pinta was unforgettable, with smooth booking, excellent service, delicious food, and incredible excursions led by expert naturalists. The yacht’s amenities, including a hot tub and spacious rooms, made it comfortable, while activities like hiking, kayaking, snorkeling, and glass-bottom boat rides added variety. Highly recommend Metropolitan Touring!

Amazing company that exceeded my expectations!
Our four-night trip on Isabella II was amazing! We walked among sea lions, snorkeled with turtles, and enjoyed countless bird sightings. The naturalists engaged wonderfully with my 12-year-old twins, while the attentive crew ensured their safety during activities. Great food, comfy accommodations, and Melissa Altamirano’s stellar planning made it unforgettable!

Wonderful experience!
Our 7-day Western itinerary cruise (June 21-27, 2024) exceeded expectations. The food was exceptional, service superb, and guides highly informative. Wildlife experiences offered great variety, with outstanding cleanliness and unobtrusive safety. The boat provided a smooth, comfortable ride, even in rough seas. Highly recommend this remarkable cruise and its fantastic crew!
