Trends / Unique Itineraries & Tours

With a world full of increasingly unpredictable events, outbreaks and travel bans, it seems more and more people are opting to cross off bucket list trips while they still can.

 

Even in the remote regions of the Galapagos Islands, more than 170,000 tourists took time to make this once-in-a-lifetime trip happen in the past year. Ecuador-based Metropolitan Touring was the first to pioneer travel to the Galapagos Islands in the early 1960s, and continues making the trek with eager tour groups to this day.

 

This team of travel experts, hosts and coordinators has been part of the boom, creating even more exclusive experiences for people looking to get the most out of their dream trips. Starting the trip off with a stay at the serenely situated Finch Bay Eco Hotel ,the crew then takes guests on board a luxury cruise liner to the Galapagos Islands to come face to face with uncommon flora and strangely curious fauna in an unforgettable setting.

 

Unlike most tours to the islands, Metropolitan Touring prides itself on making sure nothing feels ordinary on board or on shore, focusing on inspiring guests with natural experiences and uncommon encounters. To book the once-in-a-lifetime trip to the Galapagos Islands, or to see more uncommon travel ideas, check out www.metropolitan-touring.com.
