We had our journey with Quasar expeditions on the Grace boat in the Galapagos Islands recently. The boat was almost as good as the pictures but you could see some aspects were slightly faded. Altogether though it was a very pleasant boat - we loved the intimacy versus some of the other larger boats we saw on our travels around the islands. The staff were excellent, food very good and attention to details stood out. The guides we had were willing to adjust their schedules to suit our needs and always tried to get us to the main spots before any other boats arrived to ensure we had the best views and experience. My only suggestion would be that you definitely get travel insurance if you book these tours, they are very expensive and if something goes wrong, you will find yourself in a situation where returnable monies will be very difficult to receive. All reasonable of course, but it can leave people in a very precarious situation. Overall, I would recommend the Grace, would suggest it's better for couples rather than large families or small children.The Galapagos Islands were an outstanding experience
