Peru trip, Yin W (from Hong Kong) - April 27, 2012

Hi Mauricio,

I really enjoyed my trip in Peru.  First of all, I would like to thank you for your good service, your prompt action to handle my request for this trip. I am also satisfied with the overall arrangement and services provided by your local operator. I do appreciate your suppliers attitude on handling feedback.

This trip gave me a good experience. I will contact you again if I have another plan to South America in the future.

Many Thanks,
John

Peru trip, Estelle V (from South Africa) - April 12, 2012

Hi Mauricio,

I thoroughly enjoyed my trip to Cusco and Macchu Picchu. It was an amazing experience. The accommodation was superb and service excellent. The guides were good and knowledgable. I missed my connecting flight on the 30th due to overbooking, but was put on a different flight, and things worked out in the end.

Other than that everything went well. I would like to do a proper tour of Peru next year either May or September. I would like to revisit Macchu Picchu, Lake Titicaca, the canyon, glaciers etc. and also if possible go to Patagonia. What time will be best?

Thanks again for everything.

Peru trip, Donald McLaughlin (from USA) - February 23, 2012

Hi Sandra,

We were very happy with your selection of hotels, especially Sol y Luna, but also the others. The guides were very good, too. And the information on your website and your responsiveness to our inquiries was very good.

We will definitely recommend your website for anybody planning to visit Peru.

Thank you, Don McLaughlin

Peru trip, Akil Lila (from Canada) - February 23, 2012

Hi Sandra,

The entire peru tour was fantastic. We enjoyed the tours thoroughly as well as the hotels. The only change we would have made would be to stay in ollantaytambo rather than away from town. The el Hacienda hotel was very nice but would rather have been in town rather than in remote location.

Thanks again for all the help and will definitely recommend you to friends.

Peru trip, Jocelyn Y (from USA) - January 2, 2012

Dear Mauricio:

Our week-long trip to Peru was quite easily one of the best vacations for my family. We had so much fun and all the arrangements ran smoothly. The guides were very prompt in meeting with us and making sure our trip was comfortable.

Not only that, but the guides were extremely informative. We had a great time hiking up Wayna Picchu, which was the highlight of our trip. The only thing we regret is that we should''''''''ve stayed longer and seen Lake Titicaca and more cities in Peru. We had a minor mishap of our Star Peru Lima to Cusco flight being delayed for 2+ hrs. As a result, we missed the cathedral tour in Cusco. However, our guide for the day tour of Cusco the day after was more than glad to cover that for us.

My brother also forgot his day pack in the van, but it was easily retrieved as the hotel reception called the driver. There should be a culinary tour in Peru as Peruvian food is wonderful. Overall, a great trip! I definitely recommend using Latin Discover. And thanks to Mauricio for responding to my emails quickly and for being accommodating.

Thanks again!
Jocelyn

Peru trip, Ulrike Schaubert (from Germany) - November 15, 2011

Sandra,

It was a very, very good experience! Thanks for everything.

The service was excellent. I was impressed by the service, the information I received and the timeliness of pick ups ... (I thought that we Germans are punctual and well organized ... but that ...).

The only bad thing, but this has nothing to do with the organization ... ;-), was that altitud affected me in Puno and I felt pretty bad, and once that happened, I had the flu and a bad cold ... well ... but I did the tours to take advantage to the fullest ...

Thanks for the perfect preparation and your help with everything and my respect to all the team for the excellent work!

regards,
Ulrike Schaubert

Peru trip, Fiona Yue (from UK) - September 20, 2011

Hi Mauricio

I am feeling much brighter this morning, having had a good night´s sleep last night!

We had such a wonderful holiday. Everything worked like clockwork, and your local operator was really efficent, with good knowlegeable guides and someone always there to meet us. All the hotels were great, by the way!

Thank you so much for all your help with planning everything. I would be happy to help you out with testimonials in whatever way I can. I am already recommending you to friends!

When I have downloaded my photos, I will certainly post some on the website. I think we have some great ones!

With best wishes,

Peru trip, Gene R - September 5, 2011
Hi Mauricio -

We had a great time in Peru,and all the arrangements worked out just about perfectly. We especially enjoyed talking to the guides that were provided.

The hotels were great, especially Sol y Luna in the Sacred Valley and Colca Lodge in the Colca Valley, and Reserva Amazonica! Would have liked to have a little time in Chivay to look around the market, but that could have been easily arranged if we''''d known about it in advance - live and learn.

The only criticism we had was of the hotel in Puno: way out of town and not much right around it. The service also wasn''''t as good as at the other Jose Antonio hotels. Otherwise it was a wonderful trip with lots of variety and interest, good birds in the Amazon basin and the Colca Valley.

We very much enjoyed our trip to Peru. The travel arrangments were made without any problems and we felt very well taken care of by all the guides. We definitely felt that you cared very much about our trip and wanted to make sure that we had a good time.

Please feel free to post this to your testimonials web page and thanks again!

Peru trip, Susan Y (from USA) - June 28, 2011
Greetings Mauricio –

Hope this message finds you well! We have now been back for a few weeks by now. I ran into several friends and colleagues who asked me how my trip was to Peru. We absolutely enjoyed this trip. Our guide was Luthmarrie (not sure on the spelling)

We also met one of the lodge managers (can’t recall his name now… he has 3 MBAs and a degree in law). I just want to let you know that you guys had done a great job organizing this tour and I would highly recommend to others!

Best regards,
Susan

     

 

Peru trip, Sebastian P (from Germany) - May 23, 2011

Hi Dear Laura,

I just can say thank you so much for a perfect trip. Everything worked out perfectly. I´ve had a unique and unforgetable tiMachu Picchume, each day was special and so great!

One positive surprise was that everybody and everything was punctual, I was told that south Americans are unpunctual. Nobody was unpunctual and my worries were in vain. The whole organisation was just brilliant.

You will find two photos, one of Machu Picchu and the other one was taken at the lake Titicaca. 

I have to say that the Salkantay Trek was outstanding. The guide was the best one which I´ve ever had. Not only the guide was very ggod, the horseman and the cook were perfect too! All did an awesome job!

Lake TiticacaAnother highlight was definitely Bolivia, the tour which was booked for me was really great as well. The guide and the driver did a perfect job as well.

If I had to book the same tour again I wouldn´t change anything (the route, the guides, the hotels, etc.), the only thing which I wouldn´t book is the city tour in Lima. I think that one can do and should it by oneself.

So Laura, thank you so much for a perfect job!

All the best,  Sebastian

Peru trip, Margaret Houston (from USA) - May 5, 2011
Mauricio,

We had a great cruise on the Amazon,  The naturalist guides were first class, the food was excellent and all the logistics were thought through so the trip worked seamlessly. That is no easy thing in the Jungle.

I have recommended the your supplier and company to many friends, including 2 who have signed up for next month.  I wish you much success.
