We looked at the different options and decided for a Celebrity Xpedition 10 day cruise tour with pre- and post-stay at JW Marriott in Quito and flight included to/from Galapagos.
We did extend the stay in Quito with few days before and after the Xpedition cruise tour.
We arranged our own flights from home to/from Quito.
