Kristy was great. From our first interaction, she was very responsive. Very professional. I made a number of changes in the process and she was very accommodating and never seemed put out or overwhelmed. Even during the trip, we had some minor changes that she assisted us with wonderfully. I highly recommend Kristy.

Hotel Review
Pullman Lima Miraflores
Miraflores, Lima

We thought the Pullman was great. Check-in was quick and easy. The lobby is small but more than adequate. The hotel room was very nice. Clean. Quiet at night. Breakfast in the morning was a buffet and was fine. The rooftop bar was fun. All in all, we had a great experience.

We really enjoyed this tour in this site. It had a very magical mystical field to it. It was not heavily touristy the day we went. It did end up raining, but it was fine. Beautiful historical site.

Valarie was nice but a bit long winded in his story telling. And Lilly has not forgiven the Spanish inquisition.

This is an interesting form, but I think the whole process of preparing the food and reviewing everything was perhaps more than what we needed. We were also tired that day and it was a bit rainy that day, but I wouldn’t necessarily recommend this unless somebody really wanted to go.

The train ride was nice. About an hour and a half. The problem we had, is when we got to the little town, the person who was supposed to be there to meet us to bring us the hotel wasn’t. We had to find the hotel on our own, which was hard because it was also pouring rain at the Time. Train ride was great. The hotel transfer was not.

The Cusco tour was just OK for us. We had a bit of a stomach bug, but we had seen larger and better in sites already. In hindsight, I wish we had Skip Cusco and headed north to get closer to the rainbow mountains.

Rainbow Mountain Trek
Rainbow Mountain Trek
Peru

This was a big item on my bucket list so I’m glad I went. But I didn’t really realize how far away it is. It was a solid 3 to 3 1/2 hour car drive. We stopped for both lunch and breakfast on the way there. It was very far away. I didn’t like lunch or breakfast. The restaurant buffet serve was really not that good. The hike up rainbow Mountain was fine. We rented horses. Again, it wasn’t explained well to us, but it’s a one-way ride up only. You walk the rest of the way. Which was fine. It snowed the night before so we actually couldn’t see the rainbow in the rainbow mountains. Again, in hindsight, I wish we had use us as a stopping point head further south towards lake Tacoma.
