After spending a week in the Amazon jungle with friends & family on a service project, I wanted to spend another week in Ecuador, but had some hesitations as a solo traveler. Tamer understood my concerns and gave me assurances that allowed me to relax and move forward with the trip. He put together a nicely balanced itinerary that covered a few days in Quito followed by whale watching in Puerto Lopez. Tamer researched the conditions in Puerto Lopez to ensure that portion of the trip would be safe and worthwhile. Everything went smoothly including plenty of whale sightings! For the Quito activities, Tamer arranged for an excellent private guide, Sebastian, who was accommodating, extremely knowledgeable, and courteous.

Tamer was in touch every morning and evening for a quick chat and reminders. It was nice to know he had my back and was available should anything come up. He was great with details, made timely responses to my many questions, and handled with grace & efficiency some late-in-the-game changes to my plans.

Dear Lorraine :)
I'm so thankful for the opportunity you granted me to work with you on this trip! I promised a safe and enjoyable solo experience and I'm happy to see that I was able to deliver, thanks to our brilliant guides and providers. Seeing the videos you sent me about Whale sightings just warmed my heart :) Couldn't be more marvelous! I hope we cross paths again in the near future, as we in Kimkim will always be happy to plan more adventures for you and your loved ones :)
Yours,
Tamer
