A perfect Bucket List adventure you won’t regret
This was an absolutely incredible vacation. I felt I learned so much about the culture and the people. It was a wonderful to experience first hand all the wonderful food and history. The guides were so well informed and did a fantastic job sharing all the history. I especially enjoyed the way Miguel shared his knowledge and experiences of Machu Picchu . I would highly recommend experiencing this tour especially using Rebecca Tpurs. They always kept us informed of every days adventure and quick to answer any questions.
Response from the operator: Hi Joy, Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We’re thrilled to hear you enjoyed every part of your adventure, from the culture and food to the history and immersive experiences. We’re especially glad that Miguel and the team helped make Machu Picchu so memorable and that you felt well-supported throughout your journey. Your recommendation means a lot to us, and we hope to welcome you again for another incredible Latin American adventure! Warm regards, The Rebecca Adventure Travel Team

The trip of a lifetime!
Rebecca Adventure Travel have been amazing from start to finish. When we first got in contact to organise our honeymoon they were responsive and flexible. They listened to our requests and helped us plan our dream holiday. All of the hotels they recommended were brilliant - comfortable and clean. The group trips were of a really high quality and the food was exceptional. Our private guides were friendly and incredibly knowledgeable about Ecuador from the culture and history to the flora and fauna. They were also great fun! A special thanks to the guides Angel and Cesar who both went above and beyond during our trip. Rebecca Adventure Travel were on-hand 24/7 during our travels and we always felt very safe. They also helped us out massively when we realised we needed to transport our suitcase separately in the Galapagos - they saved us from what could have been a very stressful experience! It really was the holiday of a lifetime and when friends ask what our favourite part was we are genuinely completely stuck for an answer as every day was brilliant. I hope Rebecca Adventure Travel branch out into other South American countries - we would definitely use them again!
Response from the operator: Dear Emma, thank you very much for taking the time to write this nice review. We are so happy to know you had a great time with us!

Amazing Tour!
Thanks to Rebecca and her team we had an amazing holiday in Ecuador & the Galapagos Islands. Everything was arranged and whenever we had any questions Rebecca was always available. Highly recommended!
Response from the operator: The Hidden Treasure Tours are becoming increasingly popular. On the website of Rebecca Adventure Travel are a number of other beautiful tours for traveling through Colombia and Peru. Perhaps a good idea for the next year. Thank you for having the opportunity to organize this trip for you.... Saludos cordiales, Willem

We enjoyed our vacation in Ecuador incl. Galapagos
We went on a fantastic journey through Ecuador including one week on the Galapagos Islands. We arranged the trip via Rebecca Adventure Travel. Their advice was very helpful to setup a varied programme with many things to visit and experience and also build in a few relaxing days. We visited Quito, Cotopaxi, Quilotoa Crater Lake, the jungle, the Galapagos Islands and ended in Guayaquil. We loved Ecuador, the people, the history, the variety, and we thank Rebecca Adventure travel for organizing our holiday!
Response from the operator: Hi Wim, thanks for your nice review. It was a great pleasure for our team to be able to put together this Amazone-Andes-Galapagos trip for you. Thank you very much for the many dozens of beautiful photos you have sent us. Especially the pictures of the Amazon are so beautiful, fantastic! And of course the team of Rebecca Adventure Travel hopes you and your lovely wife will be back in beautiful Ecuador soon, if only for the beautiful pictures! Saludos cordiales, Willem

17 Day Ecuador Adventure and Galapagos Islands Hidden Treasures: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Quito.
How much does 17 Day Ecuador Adventure and Galapagos Islands Hidden Treasures cost?
+
Prices start at $8063 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Quito usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does 17 Day Ecuador Adventure and Galapagos Islands Hidden Treasures take?
+
Plan for about 408 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Quito is not rushed.
Is 17 Day Ecuador Adventure and Galapagos Islands Hidden Treasures worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 52 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 5 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable food & drink in Quito, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule 17 Day Ecuador Adventure and Galapagos Islands Hidden Treasures?
+
No. This experience is sold on a non-refundable basis, so only book a date you are confident about. Similar experiences in the city do offer free cancellation if flexibility matters more than price.
Is 17 Day Ecuador Adventure and Galapagos Islands Hidden Treasures suitable for kids and families?
+
The operator sets a minimum age of 2. Older children generally do well here, and families should factor in the 408-hour running time when deciding.
How far in advance should I book 17 Day Ecuador Adventure and Galapagos Islands Hidden Treasures?
+
Around 2 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Quito can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Quito and add a light layer if any part of the 408-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does 17 Day Ecuador Adventure and Galapagos Islands Hidden Treasures start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Quito within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Quito?
+
On Outty we rank every Quito experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Cotopaxi tour from Quito -horseback ride and hike-NO TOURISTY way, Baños Full Day Tour from Quito Including Entrances and Activities, Gastronomic and Cultural Walking Tour of Quito with Tastings. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Quito?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Quito?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
