I've never worked with a travel agency before, but the experience was wonderful. We wanted to do a LOT of things, and I wasn't sure how to coordinate the order of activities, transportation, etc. - and it was all taken care of for me. The lodging choices were great, the trip was a nice mix of activities, and our guides were always on time. It was a great trip!

This trip was great. We took our kids, 13 and 16 years old, and they loved it. A nice adventure that didn't take up the entire day so we have an opportunity to see and do more afterwards.

Great variety in this tour! Got to see and taste some local foods and help in the preparation, saw several sites, and learned a ton. Able to do some shopping as well. A great way to get a feel for the city and culture.

We loved Colca Canyon - the only thing that would make it better is to take fewer stops and stay longer at the ones you do stop at. It felt rushed to only be at a location for about 15 minutes.

Breakfast consisted of bread and jam and cheese - for a long day, a bit more selection would have been great.

The Amazon was amazing. The lodge was great - very clean and nicely maintained. The food was wonderful. And our guide, Rolando, was the best! We couldn't have asked for more!

The tour was wonderful, and checked off a bucket list item for us! We learned a lot on the tour, felt like we had the right amount of time and got to see everything, and really enjoyed our tour guide. We got to shop a bit in town and have lunch after the tour, which was great as wel.

Transport was a bit bumpy at first - our guide wasn't there when we got off the train and then we were put into the wrong line before the tour so wasted some time. But ultimately, it worked out and was a great experience.
