We ended up changing the Budget Experience to the 5 day Boutique Experience and it was worth every penny. Alex designed a trip for my 25 year old daughter and me that was one of the most memorable trips we've been on. The trip was revised before we landed in Galapagos which was confusing at first but Alex had thought out what would be best and he was right. Staying 3 nights in the Scalesia Lodge in the highlands was magnificent. There we were catered to at a first class level with meals made by an extraordinary chef. The tours were well thought out and if we needed to change anything, Alex went out of his way to make sure all of our needs were taken care of . Alex hired Emma as one of our guides-- she is brilliant, engaging and so much fun-- we learned something at every turn. we heard of Takiri on Trip Advisor and felt hand held each day of the trip. I've already recommended Takiri to a good friend-- and would highly recommend it to anyone reading this review. It was one of our best lifetime trips!
