点评:My five-day Galápagos experience was nothing short of extraordinary, and that is entirely because we hired Xavier Suarez from Galápagos by Local Guides.
Because we had a private tour, Xavier (Xavi) took us far from the crowds to experience swimming with sea turtles, enormous numbers of sea lions, hiking Bartolomé, and even finding penguins. His communication started six months before our trip—prompt, detailed, and reassuring. He answered every question and recommended our hotel, Hotel Barranco, which was perfect.
Each day was filled with unforgettable encounters: giant tortoises, lava tunnels, snorkeling with marine turtles, sea lions, penguins, fascinating birdlife, and land iguanas. Xavier’s depth of knowledge—geology, wildlife, and the history of the islands—is remarkable, and his storytelling kept us mesmerized.
We are in our 70s and move a bit more slowly, and Xavier matched our pace with patience, kindness, and genuine care. By the end of the trip, we felt we had fallen in love with him as much as with the Galápagos. Private guiding is absolutely worth it, especially with someone who truly loves these islands.
翻译:我在加拉帕戈斯群岛的五天旅行简直精彩绝伦,这完全要归功于我们聘请了当地导游公司 Galápagos by Local Guides 的 Xavier Suarez。
由于我们参加的是私人旅行团,Xavier(简称 Xavi)带我们远离人群,体验了与海龟共游、观赏数量庞大的海狮、徒步攀登巴托洛梅岛,甚至还邂逅了企鹅。他在我们出发前六个月就开始与我们沟通——及时、详尽且令人安心。他解答了我们提出的每一个问题,并推荐了我们入住的 Hotel Barranco 酒店,这家酒店堪称完美。
每一天都充满了令人难忘的邂逅:巨型陆龟、熔岩隧道、与海龟、海狮、企鹅一起浮潜、观赏各种迷人的鸟类以及陆鬣蜥。Xavier 对岛屿的地质、野生动物和历史了如指掌,他的讲解引人入胜,让我们听得津津有味。
我们七十多岁了,行动也慢了下来,而泽维尔以他的耐心、友善和真诚的关怀,与我们保持着同样的节奏。旅程结束时,我们感觉自己不仅爱上了加拉帕戈斯群岛,也爱上了他。私人导游绝对物超所值,尤其是像他这样真正热爱这些岛屿的人。
