Peru Travel Testimonials

My dear Dana,

Quodos to you for keeping on top of our file from beginning to end and in a most professional manner.

The computerized overview of our trip with all pertinent info that Peru For Less has adopted is an excellent tool. The departure times, the pick-up company name, the hotel info, the contact person and phone number in case of problem, etc. All is clearly stated and religiously adhered to.

The pickups were always on time and the guides were enthusiastic and very knowledgeable - Maria Louisa and Lois in particular come to mind.

The tourist bus ride from Puno was excellent. Good guide, great lunch, very comfy trip, and interesting stops.

All and all we would recommend our friends to you Dana and to your company Peru For Less.

Wishing you the very best,

Hi Kelly,

Our trip was fantastic. Overall, our experience visiting all the places in the two countries was well worth the cost, both in terms of money and time taken to get there. In fact, this was the most expensive holiday we have ever had, and given that we travel/vacation three or four times a year in different parts of the world, this is saying something! But, well worth it. South America, for a lot of us in my part of the world, is one of those continents we probably ever get to once in a lifetime.

So, what did we enjoy the most out of everything we did? Without a doubt, we enjoyed the following, although not necessarily in order:

1. The tango dinner and show in Buenos Aires. We have seen all kinds of cultural stuff in different countries, including the flamenco in Spain, but the tango beats them all. The food was great, and the show was even better.

2. The glacier trekking in El Calafate. Awesome, awesome. We would not have done ourselves justice if we hadn't gone, as we wouldn't have experienced it anywhere or any other time.

3. Machu Picchu. Of course. It was definitely another of those "Oh-My-God" moments. I cannot say much more about the place, except I sat and wondered how on earth the Incas ever did this...and wondered how the world would have been different if such a society had continued to flourish.

4. The Hiram Bingham train to Machu Picchu. Wonderful luxury, marvelous food, and great people that we met on board.

5. El Calafate overall was lovely. If anything, I would suggest that for your future travelers, they should go to Ushuaia first and then culminate their travel in El Calafate.

I have since we came back, given your agency website/contact to two other friends who are now keen to make their way to South America. I am overall really pleased with the service you have provided for my family and I and do appreciate all the communication we have had.

Again, thank you for making our Argentina and Peru holiday a wonderful experience.

Hi Rylee,

Peru For Less was fabulous! They organized our trip beautifully. We got put in superb hotels, had all our tickets exactly as they were supposed to be, and they provided excellent service all around. My son's girlfriend inadvertently left her tourist card in Lima, so she had to get a new one in Cusco. Kathleen provided guidance and advice and helped her through it. Our drivers were polite and on-time, the tour guides knowledgeable and flexible. It was an incredible trip for my family. Many thanks for everything.

Hi Kelly C.,

Our trip was amazing. I can't imagine it could have gone any smoother. It was the perfect balance of organized activities and time to ourselves. Knowing that everything from transportation to hotels and tours was organized for us allowed us to just relax and enjoy every moment.

Thanks to everyone who made our trip so enjoyable and memorable.

Hi Silvana,

The whole trip was wonderful and I think the best part for me was the floating islands on Lake Titicaca. All transfers and guides were on time and the hotels were all great. The best hotel was probably the one in Cusco. I will be recommending Peru For Less to everyone as the service was brilliant.

Thank you so much for making my holiday perfect in every way.

Hi Aleks,

The trip was fantastic. Everyone associated with Peru For Less was wonderful. Helpful people were waiting for us every step of the way. I think we had to wait for one driver 8 minutes - that was our longest delay. Brynna in Cusco was exceptionally helpful, fully explaining our itinerary and all the various tickets. The fact that she is from Michigan meant language was not a problem. Our little boutique hotel was very nice and certainly adequate for our short stay.

And our Machu Picchu guide Fabricio could hardly have been more knowledgeable. With our limited (almost non-existent) Spanish, it was wonderful having people lead us by the hand every step of the way. We spent four hours at Machu Picchu and could have spent about another half hour if we desired. This was adequate for us, as my wife is not much of a hiker. If I return to Machu Picchu someday, it will be with a buddy and we will want to climb to the top of the other peak and walk to the Inca Bridge. This would require many more hours.

In summary, it was a wonderful trip, everything happened as planned, and we got to see more of Machu Picchu than those traveling with the cruise line and paying three to four times as much. We thank you for your wonderful service and will highly recommend you to anyone traveling to Machu Picchu. In fact, we may well plan a trip with our friends to South America in a year or two and will certainly contact Latin America For Less in that event.

Thanks again for your outstanding service.

Hi Staci,

We had a great trip to Peru. Staci did a great job in booking our trip. She was always available to us to answer any questions and she always responded quickly back to us when we had any concerns. She made the whole trip seamless. Suzanna in Peru was a God send. The airline lost our luggage and she went above and beyond the call of duty to help us get it back. Jose was our guide for the hike and he was very friendly and knowledgeable.

Everyone involved was easy to work with, as well as professional . I would highly recommend Peru For less for your trip to Peru. I want to thank everyone involved for making this a life time adventure.

Hi Silvana,

Thanks for your inquiry. Everything went extremely well. Your company did a great job. The hotel, the transfers, and the train were all highlights. And, as expected, the Machu Picchu experience was overwhelming. The weather meant it well on that day. So once again many thanks for your endeavor. We can heartily recommend Latin America For Less.

Dear Mari-Ellena,

Peru was a wonderful experience. I was challenged emotionally, physically and spiritually from the moment I arrived and it was everything I expected and more. You were helpful and informative when setting everything up and except for day 2 all went as expected.

Getting through the altitude sickness made my first day a little fuzzy. When the Cusco city tour started, I was almost cured. Fernando was our guide; very knowledgeable, great personality, really knows his history. I especially appreciated the turnaround I experienced in regards to the relationship between the Incas and Spanish invaders.

There aren't enough adjectives to describe how beautiful, mysterious and spiritual Machu Picchu is. I climbed Hyunapicchu the next morning and was even more blown away. The shape of the citadel peeking out of the fog with the Urubamba River below and the switchback road from Aqua Caliente was exquisite. I could have stayed there all day.

Along the way I met some wonderful people. Each day brought new personalities and interesting conversation.

Thank you, thank you, thank you. I hope to tour more of Peru in the future. I will definitely get in touch when I do.
