“we enjoyed the trip to Peru”

★★★★★

written by phaliburton on 27/10/2014

Dear Angella: I have been meaning to write and tell you how much we enjoyed the trip tp Peru last November. It was the best trip I have ever taken. Everything worked perfectly, from meeting Hal and I at the airport in Lima, flying to Cusco, the hotel in Cusco(especially their breakfast), the Inca Trail, and getting us back to Lima for our trip back to the US. All of your support people in Lima and Cusco were extremely helpful and friendly. Now about the Inca Trail. The trip was amazing and our guides, Saul and John, were great. Saul's knowledge of the history and old ways of the Incas was amazing. Camping out on the trail was a great experience. I don't think Hal and I have slept in a tent since we were in the Army 35 years ago. Even the camp food was excellent. The weather was great and the scenery was spectacular, but the steps were tough, and the altitude did not make it any easier. I would certainly recommend the trip to everyone. However, if you are over 60 ( we are 64) you had better be in great shape. I thought it was harder than running a marathon. We were worn out, but we enjoyed the challenge. Thanks again to Perugateway Travel for a great trip.

“thank you!”

★★★★★

written by zmoretz on 22/07/2014

Hi Melisa, We're back from our exciting trip to Peru and wanted to share with you our wonderful experience and offer a few suggestions. We had wonderful meals everywhere we went. The food in Peru was outstanding!! It was always fresh, well prepared, and presented. On our first day, we had pizza in Miraflores that was just "out of this world!!" We loved the hotel in Miraflores, Lima; very quaint and lots of history. Last, our guides were well prepared. The highlight, however, was the Vistadome train ride to and from Macchu Picchu with the smoked salmon lunch and fashion show!! WOW!! Cusco was also a wonderful experience. The Monasterio Hotel was a grand experience because of the terry cloth bathrobes and shoes, the friendly service, and, of course, the food. These are our Suggestions: 1. Day # 1 should not have any activities scheduled as there isn't time for rest from the morning flight. Discovered that our bodies did not acclimate properly. As a result, we experienced sickness for two days. 2. Should not need to pack up belongings and have luggage stored for one night as a requirement for making the overnight trip to Macchu Picchu because guest will return to same hotel next day. 3. There should be A smaller Van available to bring tourist back to the hotel in Cusco after finishing the group tours. There should be no need to walk up to the hotel from the SQUARE in Cussco. We hope these suggestions will be helpful for your future planning.

“Thanks very much”

★★★★★

written by HendersFred on 25/06/2014

Hello Mayra. We’re back from one of the most exciting vacations ever. Thanks to you (and your crew) our week in Peru was magnificent. Everything worked perfectly. Only one thing might have been a little better, and that was the breakfast at the hotel in Cusco. It was very limited in the variety, but it did not spoil anything for us. Please let the guides and the drivers know that we were very pleased with them and their effort. Thanks very much

“Peru Gateway Travel did a fantastic job !”

★★★★★

written by Etacarinae on 31/05/2014

Recently we came back from our long five countries vacation, which included Amazon tour and Titicaca lake tours. I want to say that both tours were interesting and very good organized. We love the jungle tour- we learn a lot about jungle and animals, and trees,and birds. We saw six different kind of monkeys, went for Macaws, saw capybaras, swimming tapir, some jungle awesome birds.... Our guide knew almost everything about the jungle- every day we learn some new things about Tambopata. The food was good, the room was clean, the stuff was great! We liked it so much! Titicaca lake tour also was organized very well - when we came to our hotel, the girl name Marina call and asked for me- we talked and she said the she will be in our hotel shortly( to gave some instruction about our trip). So, she came, explained everything, gave me contact phone numbers- no problem. Next evening , after the Titicaca lake tour, Marina came back at evening and asked if everything was OK. We had no problem with the tour- it was good( the only one thing we don"t like - the boat was very slow, it took forever to go from main land to the islands- but all boats there are very slow do to high altitude). Anyway, after Titicaca lake tour on the next day we had Chucuito July+Pomata +Sullustany+Airport - thats was excellent too- we had a privet tour(nobody else considered it)- so we walked in our speed and saw a lot, stopped in some interesting places. Our guide was very smart , polite and had great attitude+ huge knowledge. And our driver was cool even he didn"t speak english. So again we really like the tour. So far, both Tambopta and Titicaca tours went very well and I would recommend your agency www.peru-explorer.com to my friends if they decide to visits Peru !

“you made our trip a memorable and happy one”

★★★★★

written by MardingAlex on 16/12/2013

We just returned home and one of the first things I wanted to do was thank you for an exceptional trip. Your service was above and beyond what we expected. Every little aspect of the trip went as planned, everyone was truly wonderful to us and you covered ALL the details perfectly. I want to especially point out how VERY, VERY pleased we were with our guide, Carolina. She is truly a gem and you should be very proud to have her, she was exceptionally knowledgeable, her English was flawless and she was very patient with the middle aged, slightly out of shape hikers that we are!!!! She is really a treasure and she deserves a big raise!! :) She is the best of the best. Everything went wonderfully, we had a great time and again - I want to thank you and your company for such really great service. If you ever need someone to talk to potential clients or give you a recommendation - we would be happy to do so - you made our trip a memorable and happy one that we will always remember. THANK YOU!!!!

“Thank you for setting up the best vacation”

★★★★★

written by jacobberry on 24/04/2013

We had a fantastic trip to Peru. We can't thank you enough. Carlos Martinez did a wonderful job in coordinating our Cusco activities. The Hotel in Cusco was delightful, quaint and comfortable. We will definitely recommend it to anyone we know heading to Cusco. The tour guides were great, and the people who met us at the different airports and hotels were flawless. Once again Great Job! The only minor complaint we had was over the El Santuario Hotel in Aguas Calientes. it left much to be desired and I would encourage you to maybe select a different hotel for your clients. (The hot water was very hit and miss, it was under renovations, and the lights from the hall lit the room through a window above the door.) We were only in the room for sleeping at night, so overall it had very little impact on our trip. The extra day at Machu Piccu was fantastic, and may be something you want to promote with your clients. We wish we had more time in Cusco to see all the local archeological sites, so we will be planning a return trip in the future and will contact you when we do. Thank you for setting up the best vacation we've had in 10 years.

“I'm sure it wasn't our last time in Peru.”

★★★★★

written by GenndersonM on 18/02/2013

dear [name removed], I've wanted to let you know how impressed we were with your country. our stay in Peru was truly amazing one. we've met wonderfully genuine people and we had great and unforgettable time. climbing Machu Picchu was terrific!!! there is only one thing I think we should mention though. the matter of tips for porters turned out to be a vital issue.we couldn't fail to notice how hard these men work on the trekking. while for us it was evident that they should get a big tip some people were not so clear. your email was very specific and we thank you for delivering this information.we just wanted to let you know that we encountered this situation and it was very awkward and in the end we felt really bad that maybe the porters didn't get what they should. anyway,thank you once again for everything,I'm sure it wasn't our last time in Peru.

“Once again thank you for a wonderful and exciting...”

★★★★★

written by DeanMaher on 19/12/2012

Hi Melisa, Sorry for causing you such concern and for the late notice of the cancellation. I was still hopeful we could make it to Cusco. Anyway I am pleased to say, due to the profesionalism and can do attitude of your organisation that we were able to complete the Inka trail. We arrived at our hostel in Cuzco and within 10 minutes I had a phone call from someone in your organization and said they would be coming around to see us. When the lady got there she said if we could be ready in 20 minutes then we could still do the Inka trail. We had some reservations at first because of not aclimatising but then thought why not. It was one of the most challenging things I have done but also the best thing I have done. One person made it all that more special, our guide for the 4 days, Carolina. I have been to few countries and been on a few tours where we have had tour guides. No one comes close to Carolina. When we first met her she came across as this very friendly person and straight away we felt comfortable. On the trail she had very interesting stories to tell. Not only about the ruins on the trail but, also about the history of the Inca empire. My travelling companion suffered from a little altitude sickness after the 2nd day and Carolina was always there to make sure he was feeling OK and even took action to make sure he felt better. At dinner and away from the hike she was always attentive and took a keen interest in getting to know everyone better. When my friends say they are going to do the Inca trail I will most definitely be reccomending them to your organistion anf if she is available to ask for Carolina. I have one problem though. We were on a tour with 3 german people so it was a small group of 5. Hernan and I made the mistake of joining in with them in tipping our guides. They had this system where they would give $2 per day per person. This came to all of us putting in $16 each. In my opinion this was not enough. We wanted to give Carolina and Juanna (forgive me if that is not how her name is spelt), some more privately without the germans knowing. I think it would have made them look bad if we had openly given them more in front of them. After we all said our goodbyes we searched frantically near the bust stop to find them, without luck. Can you tell me now how I might be able to send her and Juanna some more money. As I am typing this I am embarrased we only gave so little. Hope you can help. Once again thank you for a wonderful and exciting adventure. Regards, Dean Maher
