Everything went well, it was a wonderful trip - now I need a rest!
Cusco was lovely and our guide there was excellent. It was a nice surprise and added touch that our guide escorted us to Machu Piccu as well. We all loved that.
The Explorer's Inn was more rustic than we anticipated (and more so than any on-line blogs indicated either). In the end we had a good time.
We had an excellent guide in the jungle, very worthwhile. We enjoyed our excursions, saw interesting things (lots of birds and monkeys) and had a fun time. We were also lucky to experience a cold front which made for less mosquitoes and comfortable temperatures.
Trip was a success, and we all had a great time without any travel glitches. Thank you for all your arrangements

Hi Adrian,
This is a late reply because our internet service 'died' just as we returned home.
Yes, it was a shame we didn't get to meet you. The trip was really great. A bit more strenuous than Barb expected (due to the high altitudes, especially on Lake Titicaca), but Katherine was on top of it almost always. But over all just great.
We also want to recommend our guide for Cusco, Sacred Valley and Machu Picchu. He was very informative and very diligent in ensuring everyone had the correct tickets and how to make our way around Machu Picchu. If it hadn't been for his help in taking Barb by the hand for the more steep stairways, Barb probably would have missed out on a lot of the site.

Hi Stephen:
Thanks again for all your help!
Katherine was fantastic and modifying the trip 'on-the-go' as we needed to. We thank her for that.
There were 3 small points, and I mean small to have made the trip more perfect as it relates to you bearing in mind that we acclimated quickly, and we tend to be movers and shakers.
1.The hike was terrific for me. The valley view's spectacular.
2. Ollantaytambo, Moray, Maras and Chincheros! ... not to be missed.
3. Theo and Pepe as shaman / anthropologist guides!!! They bring a fantastic next level of understanding to the region not provided by the 'country' guides.
A. Casona de San Jeronimo was terrific; except for one point. They offer first rate accommodations, delicious food, a beautiful atmosphere, dry and wet sauna, massage, etc but with the urban sprawl down valley to Tipon and the 5 AM farmers honking their horns. AM noise was a bit irritating particularly if you are a late sleeper. We were not, got up early (but still not till 6:30 - 7 AM). This is to change with the new road.... Hopefully, next year or next inka king, whichever comes first.
Other points for the active traveler:
Don't worry about waking for sunrise at MP. Staying at Sanctuary is a luxury but not necessity! Lunch there was great!
Don't miss Huayna Picchu! If you book where we did, let them buy the bus ticket and they will make a reserved seat for you on the 5:35A bus (still have breakfast) so you don't have to wake up at 3:30A to stand in line in town for first bus.
Alpaca was good. They should try burgers!
Ceviche was the best! Cuy can wait.... Frog legs - another day; pork was overdone....
Katherine was the savings grace! Your 'mobile' associate made it all happen and most importantly was available. Please make a big point of it to your clients!!!! Big PLUS.
Thanks again!

(Part II)
He waited on the side until I could no longer see him at the gate....now that is service. Lastly, I met a wonderful young lady today by the name of Paola. She was very professional and followed in the footsteps of all the wonderful folks I have met from View Peru on this journey. She picked me up this am and arranged for my bags to be stored at Casa Adina. She not only was wonderful and friendly but she offered to help arrange tours or whatever I needed. I was hungry and I shared that I would really like to try Peruvian food but did not understand the menu. She assisted me for some time with explaining all the dishes at the restaurant accross from the hotel. She drew me a map so I would not get lost after walking around and she reviewed everything I would need to know about departure. How do you do it? I can not believe that you managed to hire such wonderful and professional folks at every step of the journey. I was so excited about this trip that I plan to write a travel article for single women that would like to travel to Peru. View Peru is the only way to go. Please let me know if you received this information. I think it is important for the owner of the company to hear back from guest and know that their experience here in Peru was truly.....unforgettable!

Hello Mr. President and CEO,
My name is Desiree Manuel and I am on the last leg of my View Peru travel.
I booked a 10 day tour and it was my first trip to South America. I am a female traveling alone. I want you to know that you have a superior staff that is professional, courteous, knowledgable, and kind. The support tour operators are equally as professional.
I wanted to take a few minutes to give a glimpse of the exceptional service I received while traveling throughout Juliaca, Puno, Cusco, Machu Pichu, the Sacred Valley, and Lima. I want to start by applauding Adrian in the sales office. Several months ago I began calling random tour operators to inquire about a trip to Peru. I called about 10 agencies and received sorted information, some callbacks, and general information.
Renzo was one of the operators I contacted and I found him to be the most professional. He carefully listened and took down all the information and said he would put something together for me and call me back in a few days.
I agreed. He not only called me back in a timely manner, he also sent me a detailed tentative itinerary and left his contact information so we could discuss the tour. Now let me add that I was not the easiest sale. I actually took about a month to decide, I was not going to be traveling from the US, and I was going to be traveling with another person. Although I made several changes, he remained courteous and kind. He always got back with me and continued to add and subtract from the trip so it matched my every desire. In the end, because if his knowledge and patience I purchased a larger package than I had originally anticipated.
Througthout the time he always returned my calls and answered my emails in a timely manner. This gentleman has the patience of Jobe. Next was my arrival...
When I arrived in Juliaca, a gentleman by the name of Romulo greeted me at the gate. He was very professional, reviewed the IT, and began to share a lot of knowledge about the areas we would tour that day. I was impressed by his enthusiasm and interest in answering all my questions. He took time to explain details, and was happy to answer all 100 of my questions. When he dropped me off at the hotel, he reviewed my IT for the coming days, reviewed the map of Puno, and assisted me with restaurant and museum recommendations. The following day I toured Puno and had a wonderful experience on the tour there as well. My next stop was Cusco.As usual, he arrived on time the next morning and made sure I caught the correct bus and did not have any questions. I could go on and on as the story was the same for the next few days with my tour to the Sacred Valley. Upon leaving Cusco..Fredrico assisted me with my bags and helped put me at ease by going ahead to take care of my departure taxes.

Dear Adrian and Mark
We have just returned from our Peru tour. We had a wonderful time everywhere and weather was great. All your arrangements were good, and the guides were punctual and generally knowledgable. We were also very pleased with David's coordination. We also enjoyed the vegetarian food and appreciated the care your guides took in coordinating it.
We are glad we visited Peru, particularly with View Peru. We will recommend AP to our friends.
We are generally in good physical shape and enjoyed walking and hiking through the various facilities. However, I would think that those who are not in good physical condition or have knee problems may have trouble coming down the 500+ steps at Taquel Island in Lake T. You may want to caution your visitors, particularly older ones.
Thank you for your help.
Best regards,

Dear Marco,
Thanks so very much to everyone at View Peru for a fantastic vacation and a wonderful experience in Peru! You were recommended to us by friends and we will certainly pass the word along.
I wish we had known more about the appropriate tipping etiquette but there are no other suggestions we would make. The trip was everything we hoped it would be.
Again, thank you!
Best regards,

Hi Mark and Aderly,
We just got back from Peru and Bolivia, and we had an absolutely WONDERFUL time.
View Peru was great.
I enclose 3 photos: My wife , Dena, and myself at Machu Picchu, our guide, Natalie, at Machu Piccu, and our guide in Cuzco and the Sacred Valley, Cesar. They were wonderful. Natalie was full of energy going up and down Machu Picchu, and always smiling, full of information.
We spent 2 full days with Cesar. He was FANTASTIC!! Lots of information, always smiling and explaining different aspects of Inca and Spanish cultures. He was great!! Lots of fun to be with. Both were excellent guides.
All of our hotels and connections were perfect. Your representative in Cuzco, David was terrific.
Everything was on time, and we had no real problems.
My daughter, Abigail, is doing research in Puno for her Doctoral Degree. I told her student colleagues about View Peru for their friends and families who may visit.
Thanks again,
Best regards,
Dena and Stuart Levine USA
Dear Joice & Adrian,
My father and I wanted to thank you for a nice trip to Peru! It was everything we could have hoped for and more. We were constantly amazed by the knowledge and expertise of our tour guides! Especially Edith and David in Cusco and Antoinette in Arequipa!! I am still amazed at how much knowledge they posess! Even though we were there only 2 weeks, we were able to experience so many wonderful things! Every aspect of our trip was well planned and we always recieved a warm welcome wherever we went! This was a trip that we will always remember and we are already talking about when we can plan another trip to South America...
Sincerely,
Alisa and Carl Rogers- USA
