Best trip ever!
Reviewed By Maggie - Chicago, IL | Traveled to Galapagos Islands ~ Ecuador ~ South America
We were looking for something out of the ordinary having booked several trips to Europe, Australia and Mexico with Debbie in the past 25 years. We were 2 couples and that is always a little more difficult to make decisions. We conferenced with Debbie and after lots of questions from all sides, Debbie suggested the Galapagos.. Not a place that was on our radar. Once we were booked and set with dates, the anticipation grew daily. She suggested every detail of the trip and we really followed her suggestions. A few days in Lima before and that was perfect. An easy city to navigate and wonderful weather. We did the northern loop which was a 7 day trip on Celebrity Cruises and saw more marine life that we could imagine. Everything was included so we had an amazing time with friends and no decisions to be made while travelling. The touring was with highly qualified guides. We swam with sharks which was never part of our life goal!

Cant wait to see what Debbie suggests next for u
Debbie Linder responded
"Well thank you so much. There isn't a part of my job that is more fulfilling than to suggest a trip a lifetime that is the trip of a lifetime!. Glad you took the time to check things of the bucket list that we never knew should have been there from day 1"
