Testimonials

First off I would like to say our encounter with the Peru For Less was excellent from the very beginning. I had a great number of questions and concerns that you always answered promptly and with the right amount of detail.

I was very pleased with the itinerary we worked out together to include all the elements we were keen on-it meant getting a little creative but you were always game and cooperative. I was very impressed with the pricing of the whole package. I had done my homework and thought your program was going to provide me with the best value and after the trip was over I was even more certain of it.

After we had made our initial reservations with you, we were assigned an operations specialist to make all the bookings and confirm all the tours. We had the great pleasure of having logistics handled by Carolina and then Liz. Their professionalism and follow through was fantastic. Any question - and I had plenty - was answered promptly and courteously.

We felt like every detail was handled. We were met at every destination and the details for that day were explained. We loved that we had a driver plus an English speaking guide. Private tours really enhanced our trip, it enabled us to ask a lot of questions and really focus on our areas of interest. Javier was great; he made sure we knew what was planned every step of the way. We especially loved having Juan Carlos as a guide for Sacred Valley. We learned so much from him, it was incredible.

Marialuz did a great job explaining all the history of Cuzco, Sacsayhuaman and Koricancha. One of the things we liked best was the learning about the Cuzco School of Art - seeing the Andean influences in artwork at the cathedral.

Machu Picchu was beyond words. So majestic and awe inspiring seeing it in person. Gilbert was a very congenial guide.

Edgar was great when we toured Lima with him-he went way above and beyond what we expected, we learned so much.

The tours were all fantastic. Your staff is so knowledgeable; the education and backgrounds of our guides was fantastic. We were treated so well.

The Peru For Less personnel were great! From the drivers to the coordinators we felt like we were being welcomed into their homes.

The food included at the hotels was beyond our expectations. I was so impressed that they had these lavish spreads ready in time for all our early morning departures. It was excellent.

The staff at each hotel was very accommodating, they were empowered to handle situations; they were helpful, polite, kind and attentive. The service was great in the restaurants at all the hotels as well.

In fact, everyone we met in Peru was wonderful. Everyone was extremely friendly, courteous, sweet-natured and so proud of their country.

I will be recommending your company to anyone I know who plans to travel to Peru. We were very happy with everything!.

Our trip to Peru was by far the best foreign travel experience I've ever had! To begin, Aimee was an angel to help plan the two week trip...she carefully considered our style, dreams, and goals for the trip...and it all manifested in our extensive personal itinerary. From the moment we arrived in Lima until we left for home, Peru For Less handled every detail of our journey. It was the most stress-free foreign travel possible. Transfers to and from hotels, tours, planes, and trains were fantastic...always in the best vehicles on the road and with excellent drivers. Above all, we were delighted with our knowledgeable guides - especially Marlene on our Sacred Valley private tour, Juan Carlos on our Cusco City & Ruins tour, and Omar on our Pachacamac private tour. Their understanding and ability to communicate the fullness of the Incan civilization was phenomenal. I'm recommending Peru For Less to everyone I know!

We are back from our trip I have to say the Special 8: World Wonder trip was truly amazing; I would do it over again. I would like to thank you and the team at Argentina For Less and Peru For Less for making our vacation so perfect. In each city someone was at the airport waiting for us with a smile and was excited to make sure that we were in good hands. We did not run into any problems at all! I will recommend you and use you for another tour in the future.

Thanks again,

Our trip was great! Thanks again for helping us set everything up. The tour guides were amazingly informative and Andrea was very helpful. Cuzco and the surrounding area were so beautiful and the weather was perfect! We will definitely recommend Peru For Less to anyone we know traveling to Peru.

Thank you so much for an incredible trip to Peru. We got off to a rough start because of airline cancellations which got us in almost a full day later than originally planned, but thank goodness we were able to call you to put our minds at ease and reorganize our itinerary. I don't know what we would have done had we tried to book everything on our own. It was such a relief to finally get to Peru because there was someone to meet us everywhere we went and everyone was perfectly on time. Andrea from your Cusco office was so friendly and she even had our boarding passes printed out for us for our return flight to Lima. The guided trips were great because the groups were very small and we were able to get to know the guides as if we were on a private tour. Of course the country itself is beautiful and the people are super friendly. Machu Picchu and the Sacred Valley are just incredible and we learned so much from our guides. We definitely plan to come back someday and we would highly recommend Peru For Less to anybody planning on making the trip!

Thanks again!

Thank you Peru for Less for an impeccable organization on our trip to Cuzco as well as our trip to Argentina and Uruguay last year!

Our Peru For Less trip was incredible and we can't stop talking about it. It was so nice to have all of the little details taken care of and I have to honestly say that there are so many elements that we would not have been able to arrange ourselves. It would have taken months to plan this trip had we tried to do it ourselves. We loved all of our guides; their passion for their country as well as their history is very apparent. We enjoyed the amounts of scheduled tours, but had ample free time to shop or explore on our own. Thank you again for what was a once in a lifetime trip! We will definitely plan another trip through Peru for Less.

All went well. The young lady, from Romania, in Cusco was excellent. Fabricio in Machu Picchu was very good. We enjoyed the trip very much.

Peru for Less was so helpful in coordinating many aspects of our latest trip Chile and Peru that we plan to use them again when we take 2 groups down to Chile on a mission trip. They can find good deals, routes, and make traveling easy. THANKS SO MUCH. Service is the key and PFL took care of everything.

We just returned from our trip to Peru and I wanted to write while the memories are still fresh. PFL was great, punctual, efficient and very helpful. Andrea laid out the plans and answered all our questions.
The guides, Juan Carlos, Mary and Fabricio were all excellent and provided wonderful insight. The Picoaga was very nice, well located and good rooms. The El Pueblo in Agua Calientes was truly outstanding and it was a joy to stay there. Everything worked out beautifully and we had two glorious sunny days at Machu Picchu. You exceeded our expectations in every way and I would not hesitate to recommend your company to anyone traveling to Peru.

Thanks again,

The personalized service was unbelievable! The day we went to Machu Picchu, we were picked up from our hotel and taken to the bus station, where Rachel and I were the only guests on the ride to the train station. We were escorted to the train station and were immediately greeted when we got off the train by another guide, who escorted us from the train station to the bus station. We were again immediately greeted by a guide when we arrived at Machu Picchu. We were completely surprised and thrilled to learn the two of us had a private guide, who was incredibly knowledgeable! We were blown away by Andrea's professionalism and organization throughout our stay in Peru and everyone we met was friendly and professional.

Thanks again for arranging an amazing trip!

We had a wonderful time. Thank you for your efforts in making our trip stress free. We were very impressed with our tour guides and probably would not have had such a good time without them. Our whitewater rafting trip was great and our guide was truly entertaining. The lunch provided was also delicious. Our guide to Sacred Valley (Juan Carlos) was incredibly knowledgeable about Incan culture and made the experience not only exciting but very educational. Our two day trek on the Inca trail was amazing. The hike was strenuous but the Andes Mountains were breathtaking. When we finally reached Machu Picchu, we were overwhelmed by its beauty and could not have imagined a better way to reach it than by making the trek along the Inca trail. Our trip to Peru was perhaps one of the best vacations of our lives. Thank you again for making it such a successful trip.

All the best,

Coming from Singapore, after flying for more than 34 hours, I am very grateful that I have chosen the correct travel agent for my 15-day Peru trip.

he itinerary had given my dad and I ample time to rest and acclimatize to the high altitude. The tours were evenly spread out, with sufficient free time for us to explore all the gorgeous cities on our own. We met a number of tourists on the way, and heard their complaints on canceled tours due to delay as their package was very tight. A British couple was very envious of our itinerary when I showed it to them, and they blamed themselves for not doing enough homework. It reminded me of a friend who signed up with a prestigious travel agent last year with her hubby and paid a huge sum to tour Peru and Chile. They had her name wrong on all internal flights within Peru which caused unnecessary delays, and they had tour guides that either did not appear on time or totally forgot about them. She spent quite a sum to call the travel agent numerous times to resolve the issues encountered on her way. I am fortunate that all these never happened to me. The local guides were always there on time, if not, earlier.

Honestly, the arrangement done by Peru For Less far exceeded my expectation, including the mode of transportation. This shows how thoughtful you were in deriving the itinerary for your clients. I appreciate all your help beginning with the day I contacted you, and after a reply from Juan, the rest is history.

The local and travel guides were fabulous and professional. There are a few which I would like to commend specifically. Both the tour guide and driver which brought us to Colca Canyon (2 days) were very helpful and attentive, and we had great fun along the way. The local/tour guide and driver in Lima were simply wonderful and entertaining. The guide, Edgar, explained very clearly the history of Lima, and he did not hesitate to explain again if necessary, a very patient person indeed. The driver in Lima, despite having communication difficulties, is the most hardworking and helpful guy I had ever seen, and I am very impressed by his passion and work attitude.

Not forgetting Juan and Carolina for their patience and help in the initial stage, especially Juan for his quick response to my ever-changing requests.

Overall, the experience was awesome and memorable, and I am very pleased with the arrangement done by Peru For Less. I will definitely encourage my friends here in South East Asia to sign up with Peru For Less if they were to travel to South America. Now, my next question is, when should I sign up with you again for my trip to Argentina or Chile?

Once again, thanks for everything!

We had a great time in Peru and thanks very much for all the help we got from PFL. It requires a lot of trust when booking holiday travels with someone on the other side of the world over the Internet. You and Liz always responded to my questions very quickly and with a lot of information. While we were in Peru, everything was well organized. The pick-ups were always on time, the people from PFL were always polite and very friendly. I can't believe you actually sent someone to pick us up from the train station and walked us to the bus station at Machu Picchu - It was just a 1 or 2 minute walk. But this arrangement helped us avoid the crowd arriving with us on the same train and we got on the first bus without queuing at all. We really enjoyed the service provided by PFL, you were very flexible and attentive to details. Again, thanks very much and I am looking forward to book my next holiday in South America again with you.

Thank you for all of your help in planning our adventure in Peru!

Having a guide to interpret the ruins and point out local flora and fauna is invaluable and adds so much value to the tour! Our guide, Sylvia, was wonderful on the hike to Machu Picchu and during the tour to the ruins the second day.

Maria and Juan Carlos were great guides on the Sacred Valley tour and the stop at Awana Kancha Living Museum was certainly a pleasant surprise for us!

The hostel rooms in Cusco were comfortable and clean, but we were impressed with the Rumi Wasi at Aguas Calientes - it surpassed our expectations! After a hot and difficult day climbing Machu Picchu, it was nice to have such a comfortable place to rest!

Again, thank you for helping us plan a once in a lifetime memory! Friends here at home are jealous of our experience and we are recommending your services to everyone.

We can't thank you enough for the wonderful four days in Peru you organized for us. We were a little nervous leaving our cruise ship and casting ourselves adrift in an unknown country but the staff at Peru For Less were extremely competent. The hotel you chose for us in Cusco was the best hotel I have ever stayed in, (Libertador) Cusco is a lovely fascinating place and our guide was excellent. We felt we were being looked after by a true Inca!

I wish we could have stayed longer. The train ride to Aguas Calientes is unforgettable and Machu Picchu of course is just amazing, how did they build it? I don't believe we could do it even now with all our technology. Our guide at the Inca town was excellent and very knowledgeable. Again, another day there would have been good but we had to catch up with our ship. Cusco is a lovely fascinating place and our guide was excellent. We felt we were being looked after by a true Inca!

We will recommend Peru For Less to all our friends.

Thanks again,

Thanks a million for arranging the Peru trip for my friend and I. The schedule was spotless. And your price is the best one we can get amongst all of the travel agencies on the internet. Thanks to Liz Boyd - Our Travel Coordinator, who made sure that we got first class treatments in every place we visited. I would recommend your service to anyone who is interested in visiting Peru.

Thank you for making our travels in Peru an exceptional experience. When we first decided to travel and booked our trip, Peru had just had a large earthquake that made us very nervous - especially since part of our tour was near the earthquake zone. Your company reacted quickly to find us a suitable alternative for our accommodations and ensure that we were still able to travel to all the destinations in our tour. We really appreciated your patience in answering our numerous questions and rearranging our tour to meet our needs. It was very comforting to see the Peru for Less sign at all our destinations. The accommodations were terrific, the sites and tours well planned and picked and the entire trip was wonderful.

Finally, we appreciated meeting you in Lima , and Christina and Javier for lunch in Cusco - a personal touch we won't forget. We could not believe that Javier would even "follow us" to Cusco to check on us midway through the tour. That level of service goes beyond anyone's expectations!

Great Job; we will definitely recommend your company and services to anyone thinking of traveling to Peru!

Wanted to take this moment to specially thank Andrea Martinez in Cuzco for all of her hard work in making my trip go so smoothly. I was in Cuzco for the Machu Pichu tour and unfortunately the massive Inca Strike occurred which pretty much shut down the whole area. However, Andrea and her crew worked so hard and diligently to make alternative arrangements to get me to Machu Pichu. Had it not been for them, I would have never gotten to Machu Pichu and my trip would have been ruined. But it turned out to be one of the most awesome travel experiences I've ever had. Thank you sooooooo much!

Al

Thank you very much for your excellent job! We were really surprised with the quality of your service. All our tour guides were superb. Special thanks to Christina from Cuzco for her help and smiling face. Our tour included Lima, Nazca, Colca Canyon, Areguipa, Cuzco and Machu Picchu. All our hotels were great. We choose 3 star hotels with the exception of Arequipa where we stayed in the centrally located Sonesta Posada. On our way back we booked a hotel in Lima for "day use" which helped us stretch our legs before the long flight back home. We used long distance bus twice (from Lima to Nazca and from Nazca to Arequipa) and were surprised with the level of comfort and service. Peru is a wonderful country and with your help we were ably to fully enjoy it.

Thanks again and we hope to see you soon.
