My wife and I have taken 4 trips with Premier all of them have been fantastic. The attention to detail and ease of travel is unparalleled. We like to call it “Idiot proof” luxury travel.

Allie Almario did an excellent job of planning our trip to the Galapagos, from providing very useful information on hotels, restaurants, and sights for our first stop, Guayaquil, to securing our cabin on Ecoventura’s Theory ship for an outstanding Galapagos tour.

Allie Almario was beyond excellent. Every step of our vacation was perfect. Someone was always where they were supposed to be and ready to get us on our way. Prior to our trip to Galapagos she talked with me many times to customize our trip to what exactly we wanted. Our Ship the Infinity was wonderful with an excellent staff and guides. Sam and Eric could not have been better. When we arrived at Miami airport on the way to Ecuador we discovered one
of our family had her expired Passport. A call to Allie on that Saturday was responded too and new travel plans were made. all worked out to the best.

Our guide in and around Quito ( Wilson ) was fantastic Allie could not have been better just a perfect trip.
