Tour Operator
Metropolitan Touring's 60+ years are characterized by that difference. Creators, promoters, sellers, organisers, coordinators, hosts, pioneers, yes. But above all, friends to all those who have come into contact with the company – and every contact, every bond, a story
In many ways, our company's origins as the pioneers of travel and tours to Galapagos Islands have set our course over the last decades. Their fragility, their specialness, their uniqueness have formed our belief in Galapagos cruises and travel experience that is founded on respectful contact with the natural world, in interpretation, understanding and sharing – and in fun!
Today, we own and operate a trio of vessels (the Santa Cruz and yachts Isabela II and La Pinta) as well as the Finch Bay Eco Hotel on Santa Cruz Island – and all our staff is as committed as they were when we were founded to creating unforgettable experiences for our guests.
