TESTIMONIALS

What an incredible journey!! We have barely been home a month, and I am quite ready to head back to Peru...Our band of five travelers fell head over heels with "all things Peru"! Our adventure began in Santiago, Chile, as we had just completed a 12 day cruise around Cape Horn and a road trip to Santiago. Our flight from Santiago to Lima was an early one. We were met by our guide and immediately set out to see as much of Lima as possible in one very full day! Our hotel in Mira Flores was wonderful, very convenient to great restaurants...Cusco was next...a lively mountain city, full of color, culture and the spirit of the Incas. Our hotel, the Casa Andina San Blas had a beautiful view of the Andes, a cozy bar, and internet connections! Our time in Cusco and Machu Picchu was packed with one amazing site after another. Willie, our guide, shared his knowledge of the Incan culture from dawn til dusk!!  He was a passionate teacher and and a patient caretaker!! Machu Picchu was as amazing as we expected...Willie made it all come alive! I would have liked to have stayed at the Pueblo Hotel at least another night or two.  We even climbed Wayna Picchu..."be very afraid'!

On to the Sacred Valley and Lake Titicaca...all more enchanting and enlightening than we had imagined....Even the hail and thunder storm seemed to come on que....

This was a trip of a life time, and we were so well taken care of that I think we all forgot that we were thousands of miles of from home and not in a hurry to leave!!

Thank you for all of your time tending to every detail, expertise and patience!!!

Yes, Mark and I had a wonderful time on the cruise.  It was truly the vacation of a lifetime. 
Everything was perfect!  The ship, the accommodations and the service were outstanding.  We were both very pleased with everything.
It was both a relaxing and beautiful time.  The mountain ranges were breathtaking and the view from our veranda was gorgeous.
We were not disappointed in our excursions.  Everything went very smoothly.  Last but not least, our dinner at the Pinnacle Grill was superb!

Thank you so much for that elegant evening and for all of your hard work on making our vacation plans.  We definitely have the cruise “bug” now and would be interested in cooler weather cruises in the future.  We will certainly use your services in the future as well.  I have attached a few pictures. 

The sunset picture was taken at 11PM!    Thank you for everything.  We loved it!!!!

Dear Carlos:

The trip you planned for us to the Galapagos and Machu Picchu was absolutely the best.  From the minute we stepped off the plane in Guayaquil, Ecuador there was always someone to guide us through airport, to hotels, and on city tours.  In general, we were given first class treatment.  The guides were excellent and they were just for us, we were not in a group so it was very personalizes and we could have input on the itinerary. 

The boat you booked in the Galapagos, the M/V Evolution was simply wonderful.  I could not imagine a better way to see the islands and wow, was it fun.  There were kids aboard of all ages that made it great for our family to be able to share the experience.  The chemistry of all of the 32 passengers (not lo large, not to small) was perfect…we got along so well!  There were tears when the trip ended. 

But then it was off to Peru and Machu Picchu.  Again there was always someone to meet and greet us at every turn.  Ronald, our main guide was wonderful and the properties we stayed at (4) were all special.  The Pueblo in Aguas Calientes was a 10.  Of course, Machu Picchu was spectacular! 

Our whole trip went off without a hitch.  Carlos, we thank you for putting together such a great itinerary (must have been like a puzzle) that flowed so smoothly.  Our family we always remember what a special time we had together. 

Sincerely,

Jay, Marsha, Billy, Johnny and Addie Anderson
