@Gary Nahman
What an amazing cruise! Tip Top IV’s accommodation was remarkable: from the meals to the sleeping arrangement to the overall atmosphere. I would recommend this cruise to anyone who would like to explore the Galapagos Islands.
@Marc Shane Berman
The cruise itself was fabulous, but what really places the entire experience over the top is the ship’s accommodations and guides. Patricia, our tour guide was knowledgeable, super friendly, had an unmatched sense of humor, and ensured everyone was okay and having fun.
