OAT Galapagos Tour?

[skyview851]

Has anyone ever done the OAT galapagos tour? OAT is apparently affiliated with Grand Circle Travel. My MIL is trying to convince us to go with her on this trip, but I am unable to find much information about the trip. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

OAT is owned by Grand Circle Tours.

 

The tour you asked about is at http://www.oattravel.com/gcc/general/default.aspx?oid=112490

Thanks for the info! That helps, but I would sure like to hear from someone who has actually done the tour. Anyone???

A friend of mine has done 2 trips with OAT - One to Macchu Picchu and one to Turkey. She highly recommends them. I have their Affordable Peru trip scheduled for November. I like the fact that they keep their groups small and their prices are reasonable.

We trekked in Nepal with OAT and it was fun, adventurous, and a good value. I didn't like the food, but that's just me, Mr. Picky (ask my wife).

I appreciate all the comments! Ted, you sound like me-one of my big concerns on this trip is what I will eat. Not that it would do me any harm to miss a meal!

We have traveled with Grand Circle to China. They are the parent company of OAT. The trip went as smooth as silk. Grand Circle is a great company and I have many friends from work who have used OAT and Grand Circle and I have never heard a negative comment from any of them. I would highly recommend them.

Hi,

 

We are considering this trip for May 2007. Did you book with them? I would love to hear about your experiences.

 

I see you are on the Zenith now. We took their cruise last year in January. How do you like it?

Has anyone been on this trip?

We did not go on the Galapagos/MP trip, but we did go on the Peru - Machu Picchu trip last May through OAT and loved it.

Which tour did you do to MP?

On the OAT forum there are a lot of people who have taken this trip. http://www.oattravel.com/Community/Travel-Forum.aspx?g=topics&f=50

 

We took OAT to Africa and were impressed by the experience- our very first group tour. The other passengers were all quite nice- bright, well educated, interesting. Small groups- the OAT Galapagos is no more than 16 people with an interesting sounding itinerary. Over all, with nothing to compare them to, I would not hesitate to recommend them.

We traveled with OAT to Egypt and I ditto 5Waldos evaluation. They are a good reliable tour operator. Food was good, but then we like Mediterranean food. TedC may not have liked Nepalese food which is somewhat like Northern Indian food, but that is a problem with food preference, not OATs. I don't hesitate to recommend them.
