George
Galapagos week on the Grace
Beautiful boat, wonderful crew , food was excellent. The excursions were well thought out and executed. Two tour guides , Gilda was wonderful. The other guide was Alex, for some reason I did not care for his personality. Now I consider myself a pretty easy going and respectful person, I really got tired of his constant reprimanding and treating me like a child. For that I would probably think twice if I ever wanted to take the other half of the Galapagos excursion , I might consider the other boat the Evolution, as long as Alex was not working on it.

Hi George, Thank you for your review and great comments about the boat, crew and food! It’s important to understand that the primary responsibility of the Galapagos National Park Guides is protecting the National Park, including its habitat and amazing creatures. With that responsibility comes reminding passengers of park rules such as how close passenger may approach an animal, etc., which in some cases may be a bit repetitious, but that is their job. We understand that personalities do not always mesh and we understand what you are saying happened. Other passengers have had a different experience of Alex per his reviews: · “Alex Cox was an exceptional guide. He was extremely knowledgeable and led the tours in an organized and professional manner. He has a good sense of humor and was delightful to be with.” Walt Cottrell · “Alex was fantastic. He is both extremely knowledgeable and engaging. As a native of the Galapagos, he was able to add a lot of personal insights and color regarding the recent history of events on the islands. Observing other groups and guides as we toured the islands, I really think you have two of the best.” James Doran We apologize for your opinion on Alex and we hope you consider changing your mind on this review and can contact Quasar Expeditions' at any time to discuss further. Thank you, The Quasar Expeditions' Management Team
