Tours And Transfers
Tours and transfers take the planning out of getting somewhere or seeing a place. A transfer gets you from one place to another, such as from an airport to your hotel or from one city to the next. A tour is built around the sights themselves, with a guide, a set route and often meals and entry tickets included.
A private transfer costs more than a train or bus but goes door to door. It suits travellers with heavy luggage, children or tight connections, and groups who can share the cost. Before booking, check whether the price is per vehicle or per person, what happens if your flight is delayed, how much luggage fits and what the cancellation terms are.
For tours, choose between a group tour, which is cheaper and sociable, and a private or tailor-made trip, which follows your pace and interests. Check the group size, what is included, how active the days are, whether the guides are local and how the operator handles changes in weather or plans.
For journeys between cities, Daytrip's private car transfers go door to door with optional sightseeing stops on the way, turning the transfer into part of the trip. In Ecuador, Happy Gringo's tailor-made tours of Ecuador and the Galapagos cover the Amazon, the Andes and the coast, and suit travellers who want a trip planned around them rather than a fixed group itinerary.
